This list was a little difficult to write. How can you pick the 10 best attractions out of over 100? So I tried to hand pick a couple from each park. Here are the 10 Attractions You Have To Visit In Walt Disney World:
- Seven Dwarfs Mine Train – a family-friendly thrill ride. This coaster takes you on a twisting journey through the Seven Dwarfs’ mine. Using new technology, your cart will rock back and forth as you cruise around sharp banks and hairpin turns. If you aren’t able to get a Fastpass+ reservation, the regular queue is interactive with touch screen games that will entertain you as you wait.
- Peter Pan’s Flight – one of the most popular attractions in all of the Magic Kingdom. Thanks to Tinker Bell’s Pixie Dust, you will magically sail through the story of Peter Pan in your own personal pirate ship. You’ll catch glimpses of the Nursery, London, Neverland, The Lost Boys and you’ll journey through a fight scene with Peter Pan and Hook. As you make your way back home, you’ll leave a defeated Captain Hook in your dust.
- Pirates of the Caribbean – a 9 minute boat ride through the 17th century when Pirates plundered seaport towns. Your boat will travel through the Pirate’s Grotto which is home to the Dead Man’s Cove, The Fort where you will be in the middle of a battle between the Caribbean Fort and Captain Barbossa, the Town Square where pirates try to auction off the fair maddens, the Burning City where the buccaneers sing as the city goes down in the flames, the Dungeon where pirates try to convince the dog to give over the keys to set them free and finally the treasure room where you will spot Jack Sparrow celebrating. This attraction was so popular and well loved that it spawned the Pirates of the Caribbean film series.
- Soarin’ – one of the most popular attractions in Walt Disney World. Due to how slow loading it is, I recommend that you book a Fastpass+ for this attraction if possible or head straight to it at Rope Drop. Even with Fastpass+, you will want to allow about 30 minutes to experience it. If your young ones are not tall enough for this attraction, they can get a snack/meal at Sunshine Seasons.
- Frozen Ever After – a boat ride through the popular story. It features Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff, the trolls, Marshmallow and many other characters. I highly recommend you book a Fastpass+ or head straight to it at Rope Drop.
- The Seas with Nemo and Friends – a dark ride in a clam shell that takes you on a quest to find Nemo and finishes with a breathtaking view of the aquarium.
- Toy Story Mania – a must do midway-style, 4D shootin’ game. This ride stars your favorite characters from Toy Story and lets you compete with other members of your party to see who has the best aim! In the queue, you’ll wind through Andy’s room and make your way past supersized versions of his favorite toys…or are you miniaturized and the favorite toys are still their real size? Now that Andy has left, the toys have set up the new Toy Story Midway Mania Games Play Set and you can join in on the fun. How many points will you score? This attraction can have very long wait times, so using a Fastpass here is ideal.
- Star Tours – The Adventures Continue– this attraction is a 3D simulated space flight aboard a Starspeeder 1000 that takes you right into the world of Star Wars. Your flight will be immersed into worlds like Tatooine, Naboo or Hoth and you might even encounter Yoda, Princess Leia or Darth Vader. With over 50 story combinations, every ride is a unique and new experience.
- Kilimanjaro Safaris – your party will embark on a ‘fourteen day’ safari through the lush African savanna, 110-acre Harambe Wildlife Reserve. On your journey, you will see over 34 different species of exotic African wildlife. Always have your camera at the ready, you never know what you might see.
- Festival of the Lion King – an amazing live action performance of the popular Disney movie. The show takes place in the Harambe Theater located in Africa along the waterfront to the west of the Tusker House restaurant and Dawa Bar. The theater includes an upgraded lighting and audio package that makes this show even more spectacular.
