A Beginner’s Guide to Tomorrowland

Tomorrowland is designed to look like the future! It is located in the Magic Kingdom and it is also home to my favorite ride. I will tell you what ride that is soon.

What a great view from the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover!

Rides: Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover is a calming ride that gives you a tour of all of Tomorrowland and a great view. One time when we were on the ride it stopped working and we were stuck for 10 minutes! It was crazy! Cast members had to come and bring us to the exit. Tomorrowland Speedway is where you are allowed to drive a car even if you’re not 16! The only problem with this ride is that it smells A LOT like gas. Remember how I said that my favorite ride is in Tomorrowland? Well, I was talking about Space Mountain. (For a Space Mountain review click here!) Space Mountain is a roller coaster in the dark. Carousel of Progress is a relaxing ride for anyone and shows you how far we have come from the turn of the twentieth century. Astro Orbiter is literally on top of Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover. It is basically like Dumbo, but faster and higher. Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor is a sit down indoor show. Your friends from Monsters, Inc. are trying to give their city electricity from your laughter. Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin is a game similar to Toy Story Mania. (For a Toy Story Mania review click here!) You are basically shooting lasers and trying to take down Emperor Zurg.

The Carousel of Progress!

Food: Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe has burgers, chicken, soups and salads. Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant is open seasonally. Here is a tip: the terrace has a great view of Cinderella’s Castle and it is the location for the Happily Ever After Dessert party. Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies has some delicious sundaes, smoothies, and ice cream. The Lunching Pad has pulled pork sandwiches and snacks. Joffrey’s Revive has some HUGE donuts and recently they have been selling miniature donuts.

The Astro Orbiter is really high in the sky!

Shopping: Merchant of Venus has your favorite character’s merchandise. Mickey’s Star Traders has a lot of Mickey Mouse merchandise.

Buzz!

Limited Edition Mickey Bars!!!!

You heard me correctly! You can now buy Mickey Bars at your local supermarket!! I found a whole aisle of these Mickey Bars. This is the first time that you can buy Mickey Bars outside of Disney property.

Now let’s review the treat! I did notice that these Mickey Bars are smaller than the ones at Disney World, but that’s OK. Just as a reminder, Mickey Bars have frozen vanilla ice cream with a hard chocolate shell on the outside shaped like Mickey’s face and ears. These are delicious and taste like they do at the parks.

The Mickey Bars are in the supermarkets for a limited time, so grab them quickly!

Want to know what other Mickey food you can get for a limited time? Check out some of my earlier blogs!

A Beginner’s Guide to Adventureland

Adventureland is located in Magic Kingdom.

The Jungle Cruise in Adventureland is a lot of fun!

Rides: On the Jungle Cruise you ride on a boat on the Amazon River and see some awesome fake animals. If you have a tour guide that is friendly and fun you will have an amazing experience. I love this ride because it’s fun and relaxing. The Pirates of the Caribbean movies are based on the Pirates of Caribbean ride. Jack Sparrow makes a surprise appearance at least three times. During the beginning of the ride there is a drop. (It’s a small drop.) Basically, the Pirates of the Caribbean ride shows a pirates life style.

The backside of water! (once you go on the ride, you’ll get the joke)

The Enchanted Tiki Room is a show with audio-animation birds. It’s almost never crowded so if you want to escape from the crowd this is your place! In The Magic Carpets of Aladdin you get to fly on a magic carpet and chose if you want to get up or down. This ride may be for little kids but it’s really fun! Here’s a little tip while you’re on the ride: the camels that surround the ride actually squirt water! This overall is a very relaxing ride! I have never done the Swiss Family Treehouse but I do know that you have to walk the entire time. I do not have any interest in trying it because it’s just MORE WALKING and you will be doing enough walking at Disney World.

Jack Sparrow!!!!!

Entertainment: In Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Tutorial, Captain Jack Sparrow and Mack his shipmate will teach you how to become a pirate on his crew. Last time we went Disney World my brother Al did it and he loved it.

Al’s scroll!

Food: The Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen has many different themed rooms. A hidden secret meeting room, a dining room, and a crew mess room. The food their is really good! Tortuga Tavern is a pirate themed restaurant and a counter service dining. Sunshine Tree Terrace has many snacks such as chocolate chip cookies, chocolate or vanilla ice cream, orange slush, juice, and raspberry lemonade slush. Aloha Isle has the one and only DOLE WHIP!! A dole whip is a pineapple soft-serve ice cream that you can get as ice cream or in a float.

The Magic Carpets of Aladdin

Shopping: Agrabah Bazaar is great if you like the movie Aladdin. You will find Aladdin merchandise. Bwana Bob’s is located just when you enter adventureland. It has hats and Minnie ears. Island Supply by Sunglass Hut is just sunglasses. Pirate’s Bazaar has Pirates of the Caribbean merchandise and accessories. Zanzibar Trading Company has safari hats and plush animals.

An Interview with a Five Year Old

Hello everyone! Today I thought it would be a great idea to interview my little five year old brother Al. Here is how it went:

Izzy: Hi Al, I hope it’s okay if I interview you for my blog?

Al: Okay.

Izzy: Which is your favorite park?

Al: You know it. Epcot because it has my two favorite rides, Test Track and Spaceship Earth.

Al’s car at Test Track.

Izzy: Why are Test Track and Spaceship Earth your favorite rides?

Al: Test Track because you get to design your own car and the ride goes really fast. Spaceship Earth because at the end you see the moon, you ride backwards and I like the music. That’s all.

Izzy: Do you have a favorite pavilion in Epcot?

Al: I like Canada because there is a show called “O Canada!” and at the end he says, “I have a fastpass for Soarin’. Hate to miss it.”

Izzy: Do you have a favorite snack at Disney World?

Al: The ice cream sandwich!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Macarons might be second.

Izzy: In Disney World the macarons are available in the France Pavilion. Do you have a favorite restaurant at Epcot?

Al: Garden Grill! I love that one!

Izzy: Who is your favorite Disney character?

Al: I don’t know.

Izzy: That is okay. Do you like when we stayed at Epcot until nine pm to watch Illuminations? (this is the light show)

Al: Yes I did.

Izzy: Al, do you know how many times you have gone to Disney World?

Al: Six times.

Izzy: Correct! Alright everyone, I think that’s all the questions I had for Al today. Thank you Al for letting me interview you.

Al: Okay, bye!

My Favorite Snacks

When you’re at Walt Disney World, they don’t just have good rides, they have good snacks too!  My favorite snack is the ice cream sandwich with Mickey’s face on it.  The Mickey Ice Cream Sandwich has two chocolate wafers and Cookies and Cream ice cream.  My second favorite snack is the Mickey Bar.  The Mickey Bar has frozen vanilla ice cream with a hard chocolate shell on the outside shaped like Mickey’s face and ears!  This is the most popular snack at Walt Disney World. 

The one and only MICKEY BAR!

My third favorite snack is the churro.  The churro comes warm and full of sugar and it comes with a chocolate dipping sauce.  THE CHOCOLATE SAUCE IS AMAZING!! I also like the Mickey pretzel.  It is warm, salty, and buttery.  It also has Mickey’s face. My brother’s favorite is the Minute Maid soft frozen lemonade (the yellow one, not the pink strawberry one).  It’s really good and feels refreshing after being in the Florida sun.  Which is your favorite?

Soft Mickey Pretzels are so delicious
