In Florida it rains A LOT so when it does rain I have found some great activities to do to make the time go by in the World Showcase.
5. The United States of America pavilion is a great place to go when it rains because they have a show called The American Adventure. This show talks about American History. Before the show starts you can listen to the Voices Of Liberty sing patriotic songs. (You should see this before the show starts if it’s raining because you are INDOORS!!) If you don’t want to hear the Voices Of Liberty you can look at the American Heritage Gallery that has American Indian art.
The Voices Of Liberty.
4. The France pavilion has a show called Impressions De France. This show is indoors and when the show is over you walk into Les Halles Boulangerie. They sell pastries and merchandise.
This is some of the merchandise.
3. In the China pavilion, you can watch the indoor 360 Cirle-Vision show called Reflections on China. When the show is over you don’t have to go back in the pouring rain because you walk straight into a big store called House of Good Fortune.
2. The store Mitsukoshi in the Japan pavilion is really big so looking at the merchandise will certainly pass the time while it rains. If you are sick of looking at merchandise you can get your passport stamped and look at the Kawaii display. (It’s all in the same building!)
The best place to go when it is raining in the World Showcase is the pyramid in the Mexico pavilion because you can walk inside the pyramid and spent a long time looking at merchandise, eating at the restaurant San Angel Inn Restaurante, and go on the boat ride Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros. My favorite thing to do in the pyramid is to look at merchandise.

I hope this helps you stay dry while in the World Showcase!
Fantasyland is in Magic Kingdom and is home to one of my favorite restaurants in Disney World! Fantasyland also has two different areas located inside, one is called Storybook Circus and the other one is called the Enchanted Forest.
Rides: The rides located in Storybook Circus are The Barnstormer and Dumbo The Flying Elephant.
The Barnstormer is a roller coaster made for kids because the drop isn’t that high. I really like this ride though my only complaint is that this ride is really short. (Less than a minute!) Dumbo The Flying Elephant is a fun ride where you get to ride Dumbo high in the sky and you get a great view of Magic Kingdom!
The ride in the Enchanted Forest is Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid. This ride tells you the story of the Little Mermaid.
The other rides in Fantasyland are It’s A Small World, Mad Tea Party, Peter Pan’s Flight, Prince Charming Regal Carousel, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, and Winnie the Pooh.
On “It’s A Small World” you ride in a boat and dolls all around you sing “It’s A Small World”. The coolest part is that all the dolls are from around the world and sing in their language. Warning: This song WILL get stuck in your head!
Mad Tea Party is a ride where you sit in a large teacup and spin around and around. I have never done this ride because I don’t want to get sick.
On Peter Pan’s Flight you get to fly in the sky and fly past mermaids, London, and an epic battle between Peter Pan and Captain Hook.
Prince Charming Regal Carousel is a Cinderella themed carousel. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is a roller coaster and it is really fun!
The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh is a ride where you meet everyone from the Hundred Acre Woods and learn the wonderful thing about Tigger.
Entertainment: Enchanted Tales With Belle is in the Enchanted Forest and you can take part in the show! You can play the characters from the movie Beauty and the Beast. Mickey’s PhilharMagic is a show where Donald Duck steals Mickey Mouse’s hat and winds up in other Disney movies!
Food: Cinderella’s Royal Table is a restaurant located inside Cinderella’s castle. While you eat, you meet Disney princesses.
Be Our Guest is one of my favorite restaurants in Disney World! Located in the Enchanted Forest, you get to eat inside Beauty and the Beast’s castle and the food is really good! (You can read my review of Be Our Guest here!)
The ballroom in Beauty and the Beast’s castle.
Gaston’s Tavern in the Enchanted Forest serves Warm Cinnamon Rolls, Roasted Pork Shank, Chocolate Croissants, and many other snacks! The inside of Gaston’s Tavern is created to look just like the tavern in the movie.
Pinocchio Village Haus has seating with a view of “It’s A Small World” and through out the restaurant there are murals from Pinocchio.
Inside of Pinocchio Village Haus.
Storybook Treats serves ice cream, milkshakes, and sundaes. Cheshire Cafe also serves snacks like the Cheshire Cat Tail. The Friar’s Nook serves macaroni and cheese and hot dogs.
Shopping: Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is a shop where if you are a girl between the ages of 3 and 12 you can dress up as your favorite princess. Boys can be dressed up as knights. Big Top Souvenirs is where you will find Storybook Circus merchandise. I have been inside this store and it is huge!
Bonjour! Village Gifts in the Enchanted Forest sells Beauty and the Beast merchandise. Fantasy Faire is located next to Mickeys PhilharMagic and they have a big selection of Minnie Ears. Hundred Acre Woods sells Winnie The Pooh merchandise. Sir Mickey’s sells hats and snow globes. Tinker Bell’s Treasures sells princess merchandise.
Now you know about what rides, entertainment, food, and shopping are in Fantasyland!
Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom will be opening on July 11 while Hollywood Studios and Epcot will open on July 15. Below I will be telling you about the rides and shows that will be reopening at Magic Kingdom. I will do separate articles on the other three parks.
Disney recently announced that Splash Mountain is going to be re-themed to the movie Princess And The Frog. Update: the ride will be called Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.

You will be able to join Princess Tiana and Louis as they prepare for their first Mardi Gras performance.

The Disney Imagineers have said that the ride will have amazing music and will be set in New Orleans and the Louisiana bayou. Tiana is a modern, courageous, and empowered woman who doesn’t lose sight of what is important. Update: Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is expected to open in late 2024.
I am looking forward to this attraction because I like the Princess And The Frog movie and I know the Disney Imagineers are going to do a great job on this ride!
Today I will be telling you my favorite things to do in Adventureland in Magic Kingdom.
5. My fifth favorite thing to do in Adventureland is The Magic Carpets of Aladdin. On this ride you get to fly on a magic carpet and choose if you want to go up or down. My favorite thing about this ride is if you fly your magic carpet really high you have a great view of all of Adventureland! Another thing that I really like about this ride is how the camels that surrond the ride squirt water at you!
4. My fourth favorite thing to do in Adventureland is The Enchanted Tiki Room. If you are tired of being around a lot of people or just need to get away from the sun then I really recommend to try out this show. The Enchanted Tiki Room is a show with singing auto-animation birds. I really like this show because I like how unique and different it is. (If you would like to see my full review of this show click here!)
3. My third favorite thing to do is go on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. This boat ride shows you what it’s like to be a pirate. My favorite part about this ride is how Jack Sparrow makes an appearance three times and there is a tiny drop at the beginning of the ride.
2. My second favorite thing to do is go on the Jungle Cruise. On this ride you get to see fake animals. I like this ride because every time it is different because of your tour guide. The tour guide tells jokes.
1.My favorite thing to do in Adventureland is to go to Aloha Isle Refreshments and get the Dole Whip! (If you would like to see my full Dole Whip review click here!) This treat is delicious! A Dole Whip is a pineapple soft serve ice cream that you can get as an ice cream or a float. The best thing about this treat is how cold it is. (If you would like to learn how to make the Dole Whip while you are at home click here!)
Next time you are in Adventureland you should try these rides, show, and treat!
5. My fifth favorite place to cool off is The Lion King Show. This show is in Animal Kingdom and celebrates a Lion King celebration. It is indoors and air conditioning too!
4. My fourth favorite place to cool off is It’s Tough To Be A Bug. This is an indoor 4D show where the bugs from the movie Bug’s Life tell you what it is like to be a bug.
3. My third favorite is Caring For Giants. This is a Disney tour which means you have to reserve it and pay extra. You get to see the elephants up close (don’t worry it’s completely safe.) This tour is great if you want to cool off because you get to get away from the crowd. You also get to see where the Cast Members go behind the scenes. If you would like to see my full review click here!
2. My second favorite place to cool off is Kali River Rapids. This ride literally cools you off! You sit in a round boat with other families and you WILL get splashed with water.
My favorite place to cool off is Kilimanjaro Safari. On this ride you get to see animals you would only see on a safari. This ride is great if you need to cool off because the van you are riding in is covered and while you drive in it you can feel a cool breeze. Every time you go on the ride is different because sometimes the animals do weird things and that is why I like this ride. If you would like my full review and want to hear what the animals did the times I have went click here!
If you need to cool off in Animal Kingdom than you should definitely try these rides and shows.
