Disney Park Attractions You Must Try (Florida Edition)
This one is special because it is where I was casted. I spent my days as a slide operator and ran the attractions at the water park. I love the playful theme of the park because it gives you the feel of being in a melting ski resort.
Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park
Another fun attraction that takes place between parks!
Walt Disney World Monorail System
Magic Kingdom
A funny way to get the whole family laughing--live comedy with an interactive audience!
Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor
A very fun attraction that allows you to sit and view the park with the whole family.
Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover
Like typical disney fashion, this has a very interactive que line. Great for smaller kids but one that the older ones may want to skip on. This attraction does get to be a little dark so if you have littles that are afraid of the dark you might want ...
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
Fun indoor que line that takes place inside a carnival tent. The attraction does come off the ground so be wary if you have littles that are afraid of heights.
Dumbo The Flying Elephant | Walt Disney World Resort
Very small venue but extremely interactive. Great for small kids but if you have teens they may want to skip this one!
Enchanted Tales with Belle
A great way to get a chance to see Ariel and snag a photo!
Meet Ariel at Her Grotto in Fantasyland - Walt Disney World
Less of a ride and more of a show. This one is a classic that you should try at least once.
Pirates of the Caribbean
Another amazing attraction with an interactive que line. You will become the size of a toy by the time you walk through the doors. A great family attraction that you can all enjoy and compete in together.
Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin
This is an especially fun attraction to do in the evening. This might be a little scary for younger kids as it takes place in a dark setting. They dial the spooky meter on this one but it is definitely one that you should check off of your list when ...
The Haunted Mansion | Magic Kingdom Attractions
A cute show if you need to get off of your feet and into the air conditioning!
Mickey's PhilharMagic Concert | Walt Disney World Resort
This one is a little cheesy but one that you may enjoy. No thrills on this one but it does move slowly so it's perfect for young ones.
Peter Pan's Flight | Walt Disney World Resort
Princess Fairytale Hall is a great spot to meet multiple princess at once. Bring your autograph and get a photo taken with Cinderella and others. This attraction is sometimes easier to get into in the evening close to closing time.
Meet Cinderella at Princess Fairytale Hall - Walt Disney World
A fun attraction but one you may enjoy more in the evening with the amount of time you will stand in the outdoor cue line. Visual effects are better during the day, however!
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
This is one “attraction” that you can do at your leisure. You can walk the treehouse at your own pace.
Swiss Family Treehouse
Enjoy a fancy dinner in the beast's castle with an opportunity to take photos with him! This one is a little pricy and requires a reservation but it is NOT an attraction.
Be Our Guest Restaurant
This is exactly what it sounds like- a carousel!
Prince Charming Regal Carrousel - Walt Disney World
This is a very easy attraction to ride. Not extremely intense, great for small kids.
Frozen Ever After
These are yummy and for purchase to eat at the parks!
Disney Mickey Mouse Ice Cream Bars - 6ct/18 Fl Oz
Epcot
This is a great, quick-moving attraction that takes place in the famous Epcot ball. This is one you won't want to miss if you love a thrill.
Spaceship Earth at EPCOT - Full Ride Experience in 4K
Another live comedy show that involves the audience in the jokes! Super fun and the kids will love it.
Turtle Talk with Crush | EPCOT Attractions
This is a cute attraction for the family! Very lighthearted and fun.
The Seas with Nemo & Friends
This an amazing bakery that has some iconic treats!
Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie
Animal Kingdom
This is an amazing ride for all you thrill seekers! Be careful of the Yeti!
Complete Guide to Expedition Everest - WDW Prep School
This is a great attraction that you will want your poncho for!
Kali River Rapids
This is another ride for your thrill seekers. This one takes place primarily in the dark so it may not be ideal for young children.
DINOSAUR
This, in my opinion, is not an attraction that I think is worth spending time in the cue line but I wanted to list it because it and others nearby are better for younger kids.
Primeval Whirl
This is actually a very cool experience. One that I would attempt during the day because night-time makes it harder to see the animals.
Kilimanjaro Safaris | Animal Kingdom Attractions
Hollywood Studios
If you love a thrill this is a great ride that you will want to ride over and over! There is a photo-op on this one too! Single ride lines are quick if you don't mind breaking up.
Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith
A cute show for the family!
Voyage of the Little Mermaid
If you love Star Wars you will not want to miss the opportunity to meet your favorite characters in Hollywood Studios.
EVERY Star Wars Character You Can Meet in Disney World
A great attraction for Toy Story lovers and it has a great, interactive cue line!
Toy Story Midway Mania!
A great live performance for your frozen lovers. This is a great one for younger kids!
Frozen Sing-Along Celebration | Walt Disney World Resort
This is a great simulator experience that is for those that love a thrill. You will definitely get jolted around in this one so beware if you get motion sick. This one has another great cue line while you wait for the action to begin.
Star Tours® - The Adventures Continue - Walt Disney World
Other Things You Shouldn't Miss Out On
Disneybounding can be a fun way to nod to your favorite characters!
DisneyBound Closet
This is a free way to have Cast Members go an extra mile to make your celebration special. You can pick these up in the parks or in your on-property hotel. If you're visiting a water park, you can receive a celebration “tattoo” instead!
Disney in a Minute: What is a Celebration Button?
Disney Springs is a great place that is FREE admission. Shop and eat with the Magic of Disney without having to pay an admission.
Disney Springs
Another fun way to save money during time outside of the parks!
Resort Hopping at Disney World
Pin trading can be a really cool way to get souvenirs. Purchase pins from inside or outside of the park (I am not sure that they can be unaffiliated Disney pins) but you can trade with other cast members if they have something that you would like.
Pin Trading | Walt Disney World Resort
This is a great store to visit before you plan to drop a bunch of money on souvenirs and Disney gear! They also sell pins that you can purchase and trade for better ones in the parks!
