My Top Five: Magic Kingdom Attractions

I'm sitting here at home after a long day of work. All I can think of is Disney! What a fun, magical place Disney is. The opposite of what work is! I so wish I could be strolling the parks with a dole whip in hand right now. Well, maybe I can pretend I am on the rides if I write about my top five Magic Kingdom attractions!

Here we go...!

Number 5

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train

I went on this ride expecting to not like it. I don't typically do any kind of coaster, but this one really opened my eyes up to them! It was so smooth. I even wanted it to go faster! This ride is special to me because it helped alleviate my fear of coasters. Going into the cave is so pretty too with the glowing gems. I love the animatronic dwarfs! The details and sounds are so immersive once in the cave that it really gives the ride a special kick. The wait times are typically long. Fast passes are recommended.

Number 4

Mickey's Philharmagic

Man, oh man. This show gets me every time. I am not a person who tears up easily. Practically never, but when I sit down to watch this wonderful 3D journey into Disney...I always find myself getting a little emotional. This show just embodies Disney with it's iconic music, characters, and overall spirit.

Not to mention...the smells and effects! It is so immersive and a must see. Perfect for all ages and a nice way to beat the heat. Another perk is the super low wait time. Ah, I just love it.

Number 3

Haunted Mansion

Haunted Mansion...you terrified me as a child, but I am loving you as an adult. This ride is so well-thought out and designed that it is hard not to fall in love instantly with it. Starting from the queue to the end, everything is themed to the spooky max. The pre-show is delightfully scary and fun, albeit a little cramped. Once aboard your "doom" buggy, you will enter a world of happy (and un-happy) haunts. The ride has a solid story and some of the very best effects that MK has to offer. The wait time ranges, but we found that it is pretty short at night! We walked right on. Plus, it was much spookier that way. 

Number 2

Pirates of the Caribbean 

There is something about this ride that really grabs me. The queue is breezy and themed so well. The sounds are so grasping. From the second you aboard your boat, you just know you are about to take a wonderful journey. I even love the smell of the ride. It smells like you are out at sea as you hear the faint singing of pirate songs. This ride just engages my senses and I love it for that. It is a visually stunning ride, as well. There is so much to look at, which makes it a great repeat ride. What a classic and what an adventure. The wait time varies. We usually get a fast pass at some point because we just love it so much. 

Number 1

Splash Mountain

Wooohooo, Splash Mountain! I have rode this ride countless times. From the second you sit in that log, you know you are about to journey into a new world. The world of Br'er Rabbit! This ride is both relaxing and thrilling. What a bargain! The animatronics are adorable as they sing your way through the ride. Ultimately, you end up making a BIG splash down the brier patch. I just love that stomach drop feeling and the adrenaline rush! Also, on a hot day...that splash of water is very nice! The wait times can be on the heavier side, so we always get a fast pass. Pro tip: ride this during the fireworks, the wait time is usually a walk on for us and it's STUNNING!


So there you have it. My top five at MK!
