Let’s continue with my Disney Series with another fun topic of all things Disney! I am so excited to share more photos with you all and I couldn’t do it without including all the fun rides you must get on. This is what I love about Disney World they have rides for everyone! These rides apply to all ages from preschoolers to grandparents. Even the people like me, who are terrified of heights and roller costar rides. All I gotta say is if I can do it and enjoy it EVERYONE can too.
Best Disney World Rides/Attractions at Magic Kingdom for Young Kids
Magic Kingdom is everyone’s favorite park therefore it is the most crowded and busy one out of all 4. So lets face it standing in lines with young kids is no fun. It is the best thing if you get on the ones that have the FastPass+ option or rides that normally have short lines were you can save the FastPass+ for the bigger better rides. If you aren’t familiar with how FastPass+ at Disney World works- read this guide with my 5 tips on visiting Disney for the first time.
Have the ‘My Disney Experience’ App in hand ready to guide you through the park just to make it easy for you once you are there. I am also dividing the rides by their locations as they are different sections in the park to make it simple for you as you navigate around the parks.
Tomorrowland
- Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin
- Monster, Inc. Laugh Floor (kid’s comedy show for all ages)
- Tomorrowland Speedway
Fantasyland
- Dumbo the Flying Elephant (do not use a FastPass+ on this one, lines are not long)
- Peter Pan’s Flight
- Under the Sea- Journey of the Little Mermaid (one of my favorite musical rides with little ones)
Little Mermaid- Fantasy Parade
- Ariel’s Grotto (Character Experience, Disney PhotoPass is available to take your photo)
- Enchanted Tales with Belle (adorable play with Belle where kids can participate and join in the fun while crowd sings along, Disney PhotoPass is available)
- It’s a Small World (it is usually less than a 30 min wait, do not use a FastPass+)
Adventureland
- The Magic Carpets of Aladdin
- Pirates of the Caribbean
- Jungle Cruise
Best Rides At Magic Kingdom for Older Kids and Adults
Tomorrowland
- Space Mountain (my husband’s favorite, I was terrified as it goes super fast. Hold on to your seat on this one. Usually a 2 hour plus wait so use a FastPass+ you should plan to head to this one first as soon as the park opens)
Liberty Square
- Haunted Mansion (it’s for all ages and no height requirement but if you have little ones that get frightened easily it may not be a ride for them. Overall a spooky fun ride)
Fantasyland
- Seven Dwarfs Mine Train (one of my favorites, Disney PhotoPass is available with a video and photos)
Frontierland
- Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (long wait lines use a FastPass+, definitely worth it)
- Splash Mountain (another favorite for the older kids, but it is always an hour+ wait. My suggestion is try going within the first hour the park opens)
Magic Kingdom- Splash Mountain
Hope you guys enjoy this list! Stay tuned for the next series for best rides at Animal Kingdom coming soon.
I’m planning a trip to Disney in October, and I didn’t know they had an app! Also, Fantasy Land looks amazing!
Yes! Start downloading the app on your phone already. You can start looking at restaurants at each park and start doing reservations. Activate your Magic Bands and pick out your top 3 rides for FastPass, trust me everything gets booked super early.
Great information and your images are fantastic!
Thank You so Much Jillian!
Love these photos! The Magic Kingdom is always so full of adventure and fun!
Yes Magic Kingdom was my favorite, but Animal Kingdom is right behind it too!
So nice! I can’t wait to take my kids 😍 thanks for sharing looks like so much fun!
Thank you so much, hope my list is helpful!
I think the only one of these we did when we went was Haunted Mansion lol! We had a 1-year-old though, so she couldn’t go on a lot of these. We did It’s a Small World and The Little Mermaid ride.
I loved the Little Mermaid ride it was one of my favorites for sure!
This post makes me crave a holiday! And it also makes me want to be a kid again. Perhaps I can pull up this post when I go to Disney Land 😉
This is awesome! Disney World has been on my bucket list since I was a kid!
I was in Magic Kingdom in May and the line for seven dwarfs was way too long! I need to go back because Magic Kingdom is always so much fun!!
So many awesome suggestions! Looks like you guys had a blast!
It has been such a long time since we have been to Disney! Thank you for sharing! We cannot wait to go back!
Oh my goodness, I love your photos. You’re making me want to go back to Disney so badly! I don’t have kids yet, but I still find Magic Kingdom so much fun. I think my favorite ride there has to be the Haunted Mansion one though — I loved that movie as a kid!
Annnnnnd now I want to plan a trip to Disney! I am definitely saving this blog post for future planning! Such good info & gorgeous photos!
I haven’t been to Disney in years and years and years so I’m sure it’s changed a whole lot! I loved looking through your pictures! Looks to me like there’s a lot to see and do there!
I had no idea if there is any apps for this, planning for Disneyland in next year will be so much easier then! I love those ride, I have to put these on my list!
Doesn’t matter how old you are, everyone loves Magic Kingdom. And the classic rides are still my teens favs, like Dumbo and The Teacups.
WOW this is great! We have never been to Magic Kingdom, but when we go this will definitely help!
Really great list of rides for the whole family. My favorite rides for me were Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain.
All the mountains (space, thunder, and splash) are the best! Did you visit any other kingdoms? The Animal Kingdom is my favorite, especially with the new Avatar ride.

It’s a small world and splash mountain are always my favorite rides to go on. I also really like the buzz light year game ride too.
It’s a Small World will forever and always be my favorite ride EVER! I love it with all of my heart! Disney is the best – love your pictures!
Amazing list! Space Mountain is my forever fave. Can’t wait to see all the new Star Wars stuff coming to Disneyland soon.
