Today, I will be sharing with you my favorite ride in each Disney World park.
First, lets start off at Magic Kingdom! My favorite ride is Space Mountain.
Space Mountain is on the left.
Space Mountain is a roller coaster that is in the dark. I really enjoy this ride because I love roller coasters and on this one, you can not see the track in front of you, so it makes the ride full of suspense!
In Epcot, my favorite ride is Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.
This ride just opened on May 27, 2022. I have only ridden it a couple of times, but it has quickly become my favorite. The Guardians need your help in order to get the Cosmic Generator back. This is one of the largest fully-enclosed roller coasters in the world.
At Hollywood Studios, I love Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. On this ride, you will team up with the Resistance and fight against the First Order.
This ride is incredible! My mom does not like Star Wars and she enjoyed this ride. I would really recommend trying Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance because you really feel like you are in the ride.
Finally, we have Animal Kingdom. My favorite ride in Animal Kingdom is Avatar Flight of Passage.
Avatar Flight of Passage is located in The World of Avatar.
On this ride, you will get to fly on the back of a banshee and discover Pandora. This is a really fun ride because it feels relaxing and you feel transported to another world.
These are my favorite rides! Now the real question is, what are your favorite rides in each Disney World park?
Findind Nemo: The Big Blue…and Beyond! is the new version of Finding Nemo-The Musical.
Most of the show was the same as Finding Nemo-The Musical. There were some changes though. Finding Nemo:The Big Blue…and Beyond! is 25 mintues long. Finding Nemo-The Musical was 40 mintues long. Another change is at the beginning of the show. Now, the group of fish from Dr. P. Sherman’s office have come to the Marine Life Institute to tell Nemo’s story.
I still enjoyed this show and liked how colorful the show was.
This musical very accurately tells the Finding Nemo story. I also feel like all the fish and sharks have very expressive faces.
This show still has the songs “In The Big Blue World”, “Just Keep Swimming”, “Go With The Flow”, and other songs.
I think that this is a good show to see, especially if you want to get out of the heat!
There is a fun activity that you can do in Animal Kingdom that not many people know about!
The Animation Experience At Conservation Station is a great way to embrace your inner artist by drawing Disney characters. This experience is located at Rafiki’s Planet Watch.
You will need to go on the Wildlife Express in order to get to Rafiki’s Planet Watch.
Once you get to The Animation Experience, you will get a lapboard, pencil, and paper. Then, you will be seated.
A Disney Character Artist will show you step by step how to draw a Disney character. The artist goes slowly so you don’t feel rushed to draw your drawing. There are also big TVs that show the artist’s hands and paper.
I went to The Animation Experience this year and last year.
This year we drew Tigger! Here is a picture of my drawing:
Last year we did Dumbo! Here is a picture of my drawing:
The best thing about this activity is that it is indoors, so it is a nice break from the heat. Next time you go to Animal Kingdom don’t forget to try The Animation Experience At Conservation Station!
Here are some more pictures from The Animation Experience:
Today we are going to rank 5 spinner attractions at Universal Studios Orlando and Disney World.
5. The Magic Carpets of Aladdin in Magic Kingdom. I feel like the carpet ride isn’t great. When I’m on the ride, I don’t feel too much like I’m on a magic carpet.
Al and Izzy on a magic carpet!
4. Dumbo the Flying Elephant in Magic Kingdom. A cool ride that you can pick your elephant and the elephant flies like Dumbo.
A flying elephant!
3. Kang and Kodos’ Twirl ‘n’ Hurl in Universal Studios Orlando. I like the theme that the monster catches you and makes you do stuff.
Scary! Not really.
2. TriceraTop Spin in Animal Kingdom. I like dinosaurs and it is related to the Dinosaur ride. I like how it can be tilted.
Al riding a dinosaur!
1. One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish in Islands of Adventure. This is my favorite spinner ride. I like how you can get wet and it gives you directions to not get wet.
When you are in Disney World, there are always interesting merchandise you can buy in different stores!
After you finish riding Dinosaur in Animal Kingdom, there is a gift store that you walk into. The gift store had many Disney themed board games!
First, we have the Game of Life, except it’s Disney!
You can also play a Disney Parks Monopoly.
Are you a fan of the Jungle Cruise ride in Magic Kingdom? If so, you will want this board game!
This Candyland is Disney Theme Park Edition.
I love the board game Clue, so I found this version of Clue very interesting.
We also have a theme park version of Perfection!
At Mouse Gear, I found a Disney Themed Uno!
These Dominoes have hidden Mickey’s.
Those are all the Disney themed board games I found while in Disney World. If you are going to Disney World soon, be sure to check out the stores because you will always find something interesting!

Festival Of The Lion King is a show located in Animal Kingdom that was closed due to the pandemic, but it reopened over the weekend!
Before the pandemic, you would sit in a large room with other people as you celebrate Simba.
Now of course, due to the pandemic, the show has physically distant guidelines. This is to make sure that the cast and you are all socially distant. This also means that you will not be seeing the tumble monkeys or the birds that fly above the stage.
You won’t see the birds now.
You have to be with your whole group before you can enter and be seated. Each group is split into groups with four people. Four people need to stand on each social distancing sticker when waiting outside.
I know that all these rules seem like a lot, but at least we can see the Festival Of The Lion King show again!
May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month and Disney World is celebrating!

Another thing you can get at Lotus Blossom Cafe is Char Siu with Rice. Char Siu in Chinese or Cha Shao in Mandarin means fork roast. This is a Cantonese style barbecue pork dish popularized in Hong Kong and in ethnic Chinese communities all over the world. It is an iconic item at Chinatown restaurants all over The United States. Just looking at this dish is making me hungry!

Disney World has many amazing live shows and today I will be sharing with you my favorite ones!
5. My fifth favorite live show is The Jeweled Dragon Acrobats in the China pavilion. This live show is actually performed by kids! This show even made my list of My Top Five Favorite Things To Do In The China Pavilion. Update: Due to the corona virus, The Jeweled Dragon Acrobats is currently closed.
4. My forth favorite live show is Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage in Magic Kingdom. You get a retelling of the Beauty and the Beast story in the form of a musical. Now if this show is outside, why is it in front of The Jeweled Dragon Acrobats in my ranking? Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage has a cover and many fans that will help you stay cool. This show is great and Gaston is really funny! Update: Due to the corona virus, Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage is currently closed.
Gaston being Gaston.
3. My third favorite live show is Frozen Sing Along in Hollywood Studios. Princess Anna is trying to find her sister Queen Elsa and to pass the time the storytellers of Arendelle tell you the Frozen story. I really like all the jokes that the storytellers say and sometimes they even make each other start laughing. Even if you aren’t a fan of the movie Frozen, you will still enjoy this show.
The Arendelle Storytellers and Kristof.
2. My second favorite live show is the Festival of the Lion King show in Animal Kingdom. During this show, you sit in either the elephant, warthog, giraffe, or lion sections. The Festival of the Lion King is celebrating Simba. I really like how much dancing is in this show and you get to hear music from the movie. Update: Due to the corona virus, The Festival of the Lion King is currently closed, but it’s coming back this summer!
My favorite live show in Disney World is the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! in Hollywood Studios. It is a stunt show with a lot of fire and explosions. During the show they ask for volunteers to help with stunts. You must be 18 or older to participate. There is a big surprise during the show. If you want to know what the surprise is, then you have to watch the show! Update: Due to the corona virus, Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! is currently closed.
Those are my top five favorite live shows in Disney World. This was a very hard list to make since I like many live shows in Disney World!
