Conquering the Rides of Disney World: A Guide for Thrill Seekers and Chill Seekers Alike
So, you're planning a trip to the happiest place on earth (and by that, we definitely don't mean rush hour traffic)! But with four theme parks and two water parks jam-packed with rides, how do you know where to start? Fear not, intrepid adventurer (or relaxation enthusiast), for this guide will be your key to unlocking the secrets of Disney World's most epic rides.
Hold onto Your Hats (Unless You Like that Windblown Look): Thrill Rides
- Leaving Your Stomach Back at the Hotel: For those who crave adrenaline pumping faster than Mickey can churn out waffles, this category's your jam. Think plummeting drops on Hollywood Studio's The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™ (because who needs a good night's sleep anyway?), or feeling the G-forces on Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith (because Aerosmith totally rocks... and so will your face).
- Space Mountain? More Like Space Mountain of Maybe: Feeling brave-ish? This classic Magic Kingdom coaster might surprise you. It's not quite Everest-level extreme, but it's enough to make you question your life choices in the best way possible.
Taking it Easy with a Dole Whip in Hand: Relaxing Rides
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
- Channel Your Inner Explorer (Without Actually Breaking a Sweat): Love a good adventure, but prefer your thrills a little less, well, thrilling? Explore the wonders of nature on Kilimanjaro Safaris at Animal Kingdom, or take a leisurely boat ride through the bioluminescent wonders of Pandora - The World of Avatar. Pro tip: Don't forget your Dole Whip (pineapple soft serve - trust us) for maximum chill vibes.
- Ahoy Mateys! (But Not Too Ahoy): Pirates of the Caribbean, Jungle Cruise, and Peter Pan's Flight are just a few of the classic Disney rides that offer a fun, splashy (sometimes literally) adventure without going upside down. They're perfect for the whole family, especially those who might get a little green around the gills on a super-intense coaster.
For the Littlest Adventurers: Rides They Can Rule
Disney doesn't forget the pint-sized explorers! Every park has a plethora of rides designed specifically for little ones. From the classic Dumbo the Flying Elephant to the adorable Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, there's enough magic to keep them entertained for hours. Just be prepared for the inevitable "Can we go on that one again?" (Spoiler alert: the answer is yes.)
QuickTip: Stop scrolling fast, start reading slow.
