Al’s Top 5 Favorite Roller Coasters in Disney World

I thought it would be cool to tell you guys my favorite roller coasters. So, this is how it went.

5. Expedition Everest

I like Expedition Everest because it has a lot of stuff: a beautiful view, scary parts, and it is a smooth ride. I sit near the front most of the time because there is a part where you go backward! In that part, if you are in the back, you go down a drop, then, you go up so high, you feel like you are almost going upside down. After that, there is a forward drop that is even bigger! If you like scary rides, then you would like this one.

4. Big Thunder Mountain

Big Thunder Mountain is not a bad roller coaster; it is just a fun ride! It is “the wildest ride in the wilderness”! It has turns and drops, and almost anyone can ride and be happy when they get off the ride. It can also be repeated many times. There are two different tracks you can get! Big Thunder Mountain is next to water, too. When you get off the ride, make sure to get a picture with the water and the ride.

3. Slinky Dog Dash

Watch out for Slinky Dog Dash because it is “the wildest ride in Andy’s backyard!” Slinky Dog Dash might look like a fun and cute ride, but it is not. It has a drop that is 50 feet! It also gets to a speed of 40 miles per hour, but it does not go upside down. The track is very smooth though, and that helps it not be as scary. If you want to have a tour of Andy’s backyard and like to scream, then this ride is for you.

2. Tron Lightcycle Run

Tron is a very cool ride that goes about 60 miles per hour! The only complaint about this ride is that it is only about two minutes. There is a part where you go outside that lasts about one minute. The ride also gives you a team color; it is always blue. Then you have to try to win a game with your team. The ride goes inside and goes through rings. If you get six rings before the orange, red, and yellow teams, you win! If you like competitions, you would like this roller coaster.

1. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind

Guardians of the Galaxy is my favorite ride in Disney World for a lot of reasons. You are in a ride vehicle with two in the front and two in the back of every escape pod. You can also repeat this ride many times because it plays different songs (from the 70s and 80s) each time you ride it! You also go backward in this ride and a picture is taken of you in your escape pod when you go backward. This ride is crazy, and at the end of the ride, you hear, “Welcome to the Guardians of the Galaxy,” because you helped save the world!

Honorable mentions:

Space Mountain and Seven Dwarf Mine Train

Space Mountain is an insane roller coaster in the dark with many drops and turns. Seven Dwarf Mine Train is a fast ride outside with a few fun songs to sing along, like, “Hi Ho”.

Those are my favorite roller coasters in Disney World. I hope you enjoyed this list!

DisneywithAl: Al’s Top 5 Disney Snacks

Mickey Pretzel: It tastes so good with the butter and the bread and salt all combined. You can’t go wrong with the classic Mickey pretzel.
Mickey Ice Cream Sandwich: The combination between cookies and cream and the sandwich go well together. And I love cookies and cream!
Mickey Ice Cream Bar: In the heat the chocolate melts in your mouth. And the ice cream is the icing on top.
Churro: I love cinnamon and the churro is super cinnaminy. The combo of cinnamon and dough is just so good.
Strawberry Italian Ice: I love Italian ice and strawberries and the two of them is even better. Since Disney is so hot, this is a good snack to get in the go to cool yourself down.

Honorable Mention: Pineapple dole whip: the pineapple dole whip is so good because I like pineapple and pineapple treats are amazing! It cools you down when you are in Disney. You can also get it in other flavors so don’t worry if you don’t like pineapple.

The Best Things To Do In Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is a must go place if you are a big Star Wars fan!

It can be overwhelming to know what you should do in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge so you can have the best experience possible. Today, I will be telling you what you should do in Galaxy’s Edge.

You definitely need to try blue milk! There is a milk stand located in Galaxy’s Edge that sells blue and green milk. The blue milk is actually pretty refreshing and the perfect thing to drink.

There are two rides in Galaxy’s Edge: Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. I will talk about Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance later. I would recommend riding Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run.

On this ride, you get to board the Millennium Falcon and either be the pilot, engineer, or gunner. It is a really cool experience because you really feel like you are in the Millennium Falcon.

You can make your own lightsaber!

At Savi’s Workshop, you can choose all the parts for your lightsaber every step of the way. I made my own lightsaber and it was a lot of fun!

Now, I left the best for last. You HAVE to ride Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance! This is the best ride in all of Disney World and even non Star Wars fans will love it. Just trust me.

The Resistance needs your help to fight the First Order. At one point you even get captured by the First Order and have to walk through the ship!

I hope that this guide helps you have a great time in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge!

UniversalwithIzzy: The Best Store To Get Into The Halloween Spirit

Halloween is just around the corner! If you are looking for a Halloween store in Universal Studios to check out, then you should totally go to Sahara Traders!

You do not just have to go here for Halloween, Sahara Traders is open all year.

I think this store is really cool because of how decorative it is!

These are some of the shirts you can buy at Sahara Traders.

You can also get these black cat stuffed animals.

This store has some Frankenstein merchandise.

Would you buy the Full Moon Caravan Candles?

I was not expecting to find a vampire in the back of the store.

Happy Halloween!

I Tried Mickey-Shaped Beignets For The First Time!

If you are staying at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort then you have to try the Mickey-Shaped Beignets! A beignet is a donut with powdered sugar on the outside.

You will have to go to the French Quarter and go to Scat Cats Club Cafe. Here is a picture of the menu:

You can get either 3 beignets or 6 beignets with a choice of one dipping sauce. The sauce flavors are salted caramel, strawberry, and chicory chocolate ganache. You can also get specialty beignets or Mickey-shaped Beignet Sundaes. (By the way, all the beignets here are Mickey-shaped.)

I would also like to warn you that the line here can get pretty long, so be prepared.

We ordered 3 beignets and the beignets were still hot when we got them!

We ordered two sauces: strawberry and chicory chocolate ganache.

It was my first time ever having a beignet and I thought it was delicious! I did not use the sauces because I did not think it needed it, but that is probably because my beignet had a lot of powdered sugar on it. Al’s donut did not have a lot of powdered sugar on it since it was towards the bottom of the bag so he used the sauces.

I give Scat Cats Club Cafe 5 Mickey Bars!

The Best Bathrooms At Disney World

When you are at Disney World, you will have to use one of the bathrooms in the parks.

Some bathrooms are actually very beautifully decorated and themed. Today, I will be sharing with you some of my favorite bathrooms at Disney World.

I really like the bathroom in the Norway pavilion.

The bathroom is Frozen themed. The doors are blue and the walls and floors are wood.

I especially love this flower because look how much detail was put into it.

At Magic Kingdom the Tangled bathrooms near Peter Pan are one of the best in Disney World!

The inside of this bathroom has many paintings like the ones Rapunzel painted while in her tower.

The only downside to this bathroom is that it is always crowded.

In Disney Springs, there is a restaurant called The Boathouse. While the food was good, the bathrooms deserve a visit. Just before you enter the women bathroom, you see this head on the door.

The men bathroom also has a head on the door.

The inside of the bathroom had some boats and a fish on display.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge also has really nice bathrooms. On the first floor next to Sanaa is a bathroom I really like.

I like how this bathroom looks fancy but stays with the same theme as the rest of the resort.

I know this was a weird blog article, but it is true that Disney World has decorative bathrooms. You will notice when you are there!

This Is Where You Get Nice Views Of Fantasyland

Disney World can get very hectic, so it is important to take breaks. I am going to be telling you where you can get great views of Fantasyland, specifically Prince Charming Regal Carrousel and Cinderella’s Castle.

Pinocchio Village Haus! Pinocchio Village Haus is a quick service restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating.

The only problem is that this restaurant is ALWAYS crowded. When we went we had a hard time finding a seat, so we had to sit on the balcony in the corner.

I also could not see this view from where I was sitting. I had to get up and move closer, but I still found it worth it!

You get to take great pictures of Prince Charming Regal Carrousel with Cinderella’s Castle in the background.

Where You Can Buy A Ginormous Pretzel In Disney World

At Disney World, there are so many different snacks to try! Today, I will be telling you about a snack so big you will want to share it with your family.

In Animal Kingdom, there is a stand called Pongu Pongu. This stand has breakfast food, a popular limeade drink called Night Blossom, and snacks.

We were in Pandora and decided to get a snack here. Except none of us were prepared for this!

We got the Na’vi-sized Pretzel. It was delicious and had the right amount of salt. We would recommend to get it if you are going to share it. We still had some leftover, so we saved it.

Will you be trying this pretzel?

How Similar Is The Italy Pavilion To Venice, Italy?

This summer I went to Italy and one of the cities I visited was Venice. This made me wonder how similar the Italy pavilion in Epcot looks compared to Venice, Italy.

These are pictures from the Italy pavilion in Epcot.

Now here are my pictures from Venice, Italy.

I think Epcot did a great job replicating what Venice looks like. There was so much attention to detail and even though it was my first time in Venice, I felt like I had been there before because of how similar the Italy pavilion looks. It is even hard to tell which pictures are from Epcot and which ones are from Italy!
