Disneyland’s Autopia vs Disney World’s Speedway

Setting around both rides: Both rides are in the Tomorrowland sections of Disneyland and Disney World, but the surroundings are completely different. Disneyland’s Autopia is next to Finding Nemo and a Disneyland Railroad train station. Disney World’s Tomorrowland Speedway is near the edge of Tomorrowland, next to some restaurants and the Mad Tea Party ride. Near both exits, you can also get a fake driver’s license, but you have to pay for it. I think that Speedway has a better setting around the ride because Autopia is tucked into the back of Tomorrowland next to the train station. After you are done with Autopia, it is hard to get to the next ride because it is so far away from everything. 

Setting when you are on each ride: I think that Autopia’s setting, when you are on the ride, is better than Speedway’s setting because Autopia has characters on the side of the “road” that you can easily see while still driving. Speedway does not have anything fun to look at while you are driving. It looks like you are riding in a real car with trees and highway signs. I also think that both rides usually have a long queue; so expect to stand in a line.  

How are the two rides different: The scenery is better on Autopia. Another cool thing about Autopia, if you look on the back of your car, it has a funny license plate. Soon, the cars in Autopia will become electric, too. 
Al’s Winner: Both rides are awesome, but I think I liked Autopia better because it has a great setting when you are on the ride.   

My Favorite Roller Coasters At Disney World

I will be sharing with you my favorite roller coasters in Disney World!

5. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is a great ride, even if you are not the biggest roller coaster fan. Why? This ride has a lot of turns, but no drops.

4. TRON Lightcycle / Run just opened in March and a high speed adventure! You will join Team Blue and go on a race against Team Red. This ride is crazy fast and everything from the queue to the ride feels like you are totally immersed.

3. Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain is a lot of fun! You are in the Himalayas and trying to escape the Yeti. During this ride you will also get a great view of Disney World.

2. I have recently become a big fan of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. This is another new roller coaster. This ride can get really fast, so I if you are not a big fan of roller coasters I would say to skip this one.

  1. My favorite roller coaster should be no surprise to anyone, Space Mountain. Space Mountain is a roller coaster in the dark. I love the mystery of this ride because you do not know what is going to happen next.

What are your favorite roller coasters at Disney World?

This Is What Space Mountain Looks Like With The Lights On

Have you ever wondered what Space Mountain looks like with the lights on?

We were riding the PeopleMover in Magic Kingdom. During the ride, we were able to see Space Mountain with the lights turned on!

This was a big surprise because the lights on Space Mountain are just about ALWAYS off.

Here are some pictures:

Space Mountain looks weird with the lights on!

The PeopleMover Is Back!

The Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover reopened today! (April 25, 2021.)

The PeopleMover closed before the pandemic started and for a long time we were all wondering when it would reopen. Disney had delayed the reopening of The PeopleMover a bunch of times.

That is why I was surprised to hear that it is now open. I even watched a live stream in Tomorrowland to make sure I was giving you accurate news.

I am very glad The PeopleMover is back because that is definitely a must do ride while you are in Magic Kingdom!

My Top Five Favorite Rides And Shows In Tomorrowland

This blog post is a part of the My Top Five Favorite Things series and since I haven’t eaten at Tomorrowland or visited the shops I will just be telling you my favorite rides and shows.

5. My fifth favorite show is Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor. On this show the characters from Monsters, Inc. are trying to give their city electricity from your laughter. I like this show because it is very funny!

4. Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin is a ride were you and Buzz Lightyear are trying to defeat the evil emperor Zurg. This ride is like Toy Story Mania but not as good in my opinion. It’s just hard to tell if you have shot the aliens or not.

3. The Carousel of Progress is an indoor ride that anyone can do that teaches you about how technology has changed since the early 1900s. This may seem boring but it actually isn’t.

2. Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover is a relaxing ride where you get a tour of all of Tomorrowland. If you want to get away from the crowds than this is your ride!

  1. If you have been reading my blog for a long time than you know that I love Space Mountain! This ride is amazing and I always love it! If you are afraid of roller coasters then DO NOT DO THIS RIDE! If you love roller coasters then this ride is perfect for you!

Have fun trying these rides and shows in Tomorrowland!

My Top Five Favorite Places To Cool Off In Magic Kingdom

Here are my favorite places to cool off in Magic Kingdom!

5. My fifth favorite place to cool off in Magic Kingdom is the Carousel of Process in Tomorrowland. The Carousel of Process is indoors and everyone can do the Carousel of Process because it is a show. The Carousel of Process is about how our technology has changed over the years and it is really fun! This show is great if you want to cool off because it is indoors.

4. The Pirates of the Caribbean is in Adventureland. It is a boat ride that shows you what it’s like to be a pirate and the pirates are trying to capture Jack Sparrow. This ride is indoors so it is perfect if you want to cool off.

3. The Enchanted Tiki Room is a show that is also in Adventureland. This show never has a line so it is a perfect place to go if you want to get away from the crowd. The Enchanted Tiki Room has audio-animation singing birds. The Enchanted Tiki Room is also indoors. If you would like to learn more about The Enchanted Tiki Room and see my full review click here!

2. My second favorite place to cool of in Magic Kingdom is the Jungle Cruise in Adventureland. (I know, Adventureland again!) On this boat ride you get to see fake animals with your tour guide. This ride is great if you need to cool off because the sun isn’t beating down on you.

I wouldn’t mess with that rhino.

Now this ride really depends on your tour guide. One time we had a great tour guide and so we enjoyed this ride. Another time we had an awful tour guide and so we didn’t enjoy our ride.

  1. Now my number one favorite place to cool off in Magic Kingdom is Tomorrowland Transit Authority Peoplemover. In this ride you get to sit back, relax, and get a great tour of all of Tomorrowland. This ride is mostly shaded and the wind blows in your face.

If you want to cool off while you are at Magic Kingdom than I would totally recommend to do these shows and rides.

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!

Space Mountain

Height Restriction: Must be 44 inches

What I Like About It

If you like roller coasters, this ride is for you!  Space Mountain is a thrill ride in the dark with sudden drops and turns.  When you’re getting on the ride, they are going to tell you bad stuff, but it’s ok.  Space Mountain is my favorite ride ever!

What I Don’t Like About It

The line is way too long – you need a Fastpass.  In August, my mom and I didn’t have a Fastpass and it took us over an hour to get on.  Luckily, the Disney Play app you can download on your phone helped the time go by.  There are hidden codes and much more.  The Space Mountain game on the app only works in the park. 

My Favorite Ride!

My Top 5 Favorite Rides at Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom is my favorite park because it has the most rides.  My favorite ride is Space Mountain, which is located in Tomorrowland.  The ride is in the dark and has sudden drops and turns. Too young for Space Mountain?  My second favorite ride, Big Thunder Mountain, may be for you. Big Thunder Mountain is located in Frontierland.  The ride is outside and has lots of curves. My third favorite ride is The Jungle Cruise. How amazing your ride is depends on your tour guide.  On the Jungle Cruise you ride in a boat while seeing amazing fake animals.

My fourth favorite ride at Magic Kingdom is Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. This ride is short and is located in Fantasyland.  Here you can take a trip through the mines but still ride a roller coaster.

My fifth favorite is Pirates of the Caribbean. Now you can take a trip with the pirates. Keep an eye out for Captain Jack Sparrow!  He appears at least three times during the ride.
