Best Rides at Magic Kingdom

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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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 is still summer time and it will be like this in Houston all the way through the end of October (no kidding 😭). While the kids like being outdoors (me not so much) we both can agree we do not like bugs 🐛 🐜🕷. #Ad. Main reason why you hardly ever see us coming in through our front door, unless I have packages 📦 waiting for me there, because the bugs always find a way to get in. And that is where @zevoinsect comes to my rescue. Best thing we found at Target that has helped eliminate the bugs that sneak their way in. Zevo products effectively eliminate bugs with no harsh chemicals and are safe to use around people and pets when used as directed. Zevo is available at Target 🎯, click the link in my bio to check if your local store carries it too. And right now through 8/17, if you spent $50 or more on household essentials (including Zevo!) you’ll get a $15 target gift card. #waysmarterthanbugs #availableatTarget
  • We have spent our summer days relaxing as much as possible and now it’s quickly coming to an end! #ad But the one thing that doesn’t change is when we are on the go, @kindsnacks Kids Bars have been my go-to bars for the kids (& even for myself because they are sooo good 😋) _ The Chewy Chocolate Chip is Luke’s favorite and the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip are Elyse & Ryan’s top pick. With 100% whole grains and 25% less sugar than the leading kids bar, these quick go-to bars have gotten us through our busy summer days when heading to the waterpark, or even on the days the kids have gymnastics and swimming. _ Lean on @kindsnacks to get you through your summer activities AND school lunches, I know we sure are! We get ours at our local @Krogerco #bekindtoyourself #KINDKidatKroger
  • Living our best life at @hsbresort ☀️. Our first time here and it won’t be the last. We been enjoying our family getaway before school starts for the kids & this place has not disappointed us. We are officially exhausted from all the fun activities we been doing. We just finished our sunset 🌅 boat ride and dinner at the new restaurant Waterfront Bar & Grill - definitely recommend you do this when you book your stay. // I have created a highlight so you can follow all of our stories during our stay 🚤🏖🌴#hosted #hsbresort #horeshoebay #horseshoebayresort #lakelbj
  • We only have two more weeks left of summer ☀️ and then I’ll have these three kids back in school. Where did the time go? Excited to enjoy one last summer trip with my crew tomorrow to @hsbresort we cannot wait! What fun activities/ trips did you guys do this summer? Tell me down below 👇🏼 // #summerfun #lovecarters
  • #AD If you like having finger food options at parties or small gatherings and no mess for kids to take on the go- this is just for you! This recipe is easy to follow and a WINNER for us every time. I love recipes that are easy and this is one of them. These Pork Carnitas RITZ Toppers will have you coming back for more. We actually just had some again today for lunch and finished it so quick 😋 Head to the blog for full recipe using @ritzcrackers #antojos #porkcarnitas #ritzcrackers #linkinbio
  • With less than a month left until the kids head BTS I am definitely trying to enjoy the few weeks we have together and soak in these last moments. I am also not feeling guilty at all of taking advantage of the few quiet afternoons I get to myself while they are off to grandmas. I am going to #TakeASeccoTo simply enjoy no distractions and a peaceful afternoon to myself to catch up on emails, work, and then relax with my favorite @riondoprosecco on hand as I catch up on my guilty pleasure- reality tv. I’m hooked on the new Lifetime V.C Andrews movie series happening every Saturday right now. I’m here for it all, who else is watching it? #ad21+ #RiondoProsecco
  • #AD What is your favorite antojito? For us, it’s Pork Carnitas (Mexican slow cooked pulled pork). Always our go to choice when doing family events or small gatherings with friends. It is a winner with our kids too, who can be picky eaters at times but they are obsessed with this quick @ritzcrackers appetizer. Best part about this recipe is it takes 15 min to make and you can find all the ingredients needed at your local @HEB. These Pork Carnitas are so tender and juicy on the inside, while also crisp and golden on the outside. You will need this in your life- thank me later.
