Magic Kingdom - DisneywithIzzy

Interview with a 9 Year Old

It’s that time!

Izzy: What was your favorite new ride in Disney World?

Al: Guardian of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind because I like the songs that it picks and it is super smooth and a great ride on its own. I like roller coasters and if you like roller coasters it’s a great ride to do.

Izzy: Is Epcot still your favorite Disney World park?

Al: Yes, because I like the World Showcase and eating all the different food they have and also they have some great rides like Guardians of the Galaxy, Test Track and Spaceship Earth.

Izzy: Can you rank your top five favorite rides at Disney World?

Al: Oh yeah, that’s easy. #5 Dinosaur, #4 Pirates of the Caribbean, #3 Test Track, #2 Rise of the Resistance, #1 Guardians of the Galaxy.

Izzy: What is your favorite restaurant at Disney World?

Al: Definitely Teppan Edo because they cook the food in front of you and it is cool to see them do all those tricks in front of you. And I love their shrimp.

Izzy: Which park do you like better, Magic Kingdom or Animal Kingdom?

Al: Definitely Magic Kingdom. There are more rides and it is more of the original park. It is really cool to see the animals up close in Animal Kingdom, but they don’t have as many rides that I like.

Izzy: What is the best ride in Animal Kingdom?

Al: Dinosaur but I really like the Kilimanjaro Safari too.

Izzy: What is your favorite thing to watch on Disney+?

Al: That’s difficult. Probably The Mandalorian because it is so well done and everybody loves Grogu.

Izzy: When we went to Disney last year, we stayed at Boardwalk Villas, Bay Lake Tower, Saratoga Springs and The Riviera, which hotel was your favorite?

Al: Boardwalk Villas because you can walk to Epcot or Hollywood Studios and when you leave the hotel you are on the boardwalk and there are lots of dining options nearby.

Izzy: Last year, we went to the pools at Bay Lake Tower, Saratoga Springs and The Riviera, which pool was your favorite?

Al: The Riviera, the slide at that pool was so good!

Izzy: Who is your favorite Marvel character?

Al: Still Spiderman.

Izzy: What is your favorite snack at Disney World?

Al: The Mickey pretzel is still my favorite.

Izzy: Last April we went to Universal Studios, what was your favorite ride?

Al: Hagrids because it is a smooth roller coaster with no bumps in it and I like how it goes around and you see different animals in the Harry Potter world, but I also like Spiderman a lot.

My Favorite Restaurant In Every Disney World Park

Today we will be talking about my favorite restaurant in every Disney World park.

Let’s start in Magic Kingdom. My favorite restaurant is Be Our Guest. At this restaurant, you get to eat at Beauty and the Beasts castle.

I really love how you feel like you are actually in Beauty and the Beasts castle.

In Epcot, my favorite restaurant is La Hacienda de San Angel in the Mexico pavilion. I went to this restaurant for the first time on my last trip to Disney World. I have not reviewed it yet, but I will.

You might be wondering, why do I like this restaurant better than San Angel Inn? The reason is because while San Angel Inn is very dark and it’s hard to see your food, La Hacienda de San Angel has a lot of natural light from outside. My favorite dish from San Angel Inn, Queso Fundido, is also at La Hacienda de San Angel.

At Hollywood Studios, my favorite restaurant is Hollywood and Vine. Here you will be able to meet Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, and Pluto for lunch and dinner. Hollywood and Vine has five different themed dining experiences. These include Silver Screen Dining, Springtime Dine, Summertime Dine, Halloween Dine, and Minnie’s Holiday Dine.

I think Hollywood and Vine is a great way to meet the characters at Disney World.

Finally, we have Animal Kingdom. My favorite restaurant is Yak and Yeti. This restaurant has delicious food and I also love how much detail was put into the way Yak and Yeti looks.

My favorite types of restaurants at Disney World are the ones where you have to come back a couple of times because of how much detail was put into it.

Now you know my favorite restaurants at Disney World!

Ranking The Mountain Rides At Disney World

Happy New Years!

Today I thought it would be interesting to rank the mountain rides at Disney World. This is just my opinion, so it is completely ok if you do not agree with me.

What are the mountain rides at Disney World? The mountain rides include Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, and Expedition Everest.

5. In last place, we have Splash Mountain. My main problem with this ride is that you will most likely get VERY wet. I am not a fan of getting wet on a ride. The good news is that Splash Mountain is going to be re-themed to Princess and the Frog!

4. In fourth place we have Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. This ride always has a long line and the ride is so fast. It is only three minutes long. I would enjoy Seven Dwarfs Mine Train better if it was longer. Then, you will feel like it was worth waiting so long in line.

3. In third place, it’s Expedition Everest. This is the only roller coaster on the list that is in Animal Kingdom and not in Magic Kingdom. This ride makes you feel like you are in the mountains and I love all the drops and turns.

2. Next up, we have Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. I really like Big Thunder Mountain. I like how the ride is outside. If you are someone who does not like a lot of drops on a roller coaster, this might be the ride for you. Big Thunder Mountain does not have a lot of drops, but it does have a lot of turns.

My favorite mountain ride is Space Mountain. If you have been reading my blog for a while, you probably saw this coming. I like how this ride is completely in the dark, so you can not see the track in front of you.

I hope you enjoyed this article!

Everything New That Is Coming To Disney World In 2023

It’s almost 2023 and that means that it is time to tell you everything new coming to Disney World in 2023!

Starting in 2023, Figment will be having his own meet and greet!

Tron Lightcycle / Run will be coming to Magic Kingdom in the spring of 2023. This ride has been under construction for a long time! I remember construction for this ride started in 2019! Tron Lightcycle / Run will take you on an epic adventure on a lightcycle. This ride was inspired by a similar ride in Shanghai Disneyland.

Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana will be coming to Epcot in late 2023. Journey of Water will allow you to go on a self guided trail that will have water and “rock” formations. You will “learn about the importance of water”.

The Disney Enchantment Fireworks will be replaced with Happily Ever After Fireworks in 2023.

In Hollywood Studios, Roundup Rodeo BBQ will be opening in the spring of 2023. This restaurant will be the first one in Disney World that is Toy Story themed.

Harmonious will be replaced by a show that will be for Disney’s 100th anniversary.

That is everything coming to Disney World in the new year!

My Favorite Ride In Each Disney World Park

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?

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!

Cinderella’s Royal Table Review

In Magic Kingdom, you can eat inside Cinderella’s Castle!

First, you take a picture with Cinderella and then you go upstairs where you will eat. Usually, you get to take pictures with Disney princesses while you eat but because of COVID, there were no princesses to take pictures with us while we ate.

I had Sliced Apples.

Al had Bite-sized Cheddar Cheese and Grapes from the Kids Appetizers.

My mom had the Castle Salad as her appetizer. The salad has romaine, brussel sprouts, citrus, and funnel that has a passion fruit vinaigrette.

I had the When Will My Life Begin Chicken and Pasta. This meal is for the 50th Anniversary at Disney World, so it is a limited time dish. The pasta was delicious and I especially liked the Pine Nut Pesto.

My mom had the Magic Carpet Ride. That is a spice-crusted pork tenderloin, pork belly with curry couscous, glazed carrots, and a peppercorn Flying Carpet. She liked her food.

Al had the Chicken Nuggets from the kids menu that come with a choice of two sides.

My mom had The Clock Strikes Twelve. The Clock Strikes Twelve is a dark chocolate mousse and it is served with chocolate sauce and hazelnut gelato. My mom asked for hers without a chocolate saucce.

Al had The Sword in The Sweet. That is a cookies and cream cheesecake mousse with chocolate cookie crumble topped with crispy pearls and a cookie sword. I also tried some of his dessert and I would recommend getting it.

I would give Cinderella’s Royal Table 3 Mickey Bars. The whole point of eating at Cinderella’s Royal Table is to be able to look out the windows at Magic Kingdom. We were not able to do that because we were seated in the back and we were staring at a wall the whole time while we were eating.

What Is Better: Spinning Rides Edition

Today I thought it would be fun if I talked about which is better out of the spinning rides in Universal Studios and Disney World: One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, or Twirl ‘n’ Hurl, or The Magic Carpets of Aladdin, or Dumbo. On all four of these rides you can control how high you want to be. This is just my opinion, so it is totally ok if you do not agree with me.

In last place we have Twirl ‘n’ Hurl in Universal Studios. This is a Simpsons themed ride where you have been kidnapped by aliens. I personally find this one a little boring because compared to the other rides on this list the view isn’t that amazing.

Next, we have Dumbo in Magic Kingdom. On this ride you get to ride on a flying Dumbo! The view on this ride is great because you can see Cinderella’s Castle.

In second place we have One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish in Universal Studios. This ride is interesting because the fishes on the side of the ride will squirt water at you!

My favorite spinning ride is The Magic Carpets of Aladdin in Magic Kingdom. You get a great view of Adventureland from this ride and I find The Magic Carpets of Aladdin to be very relaxing.

That was my list. Now the real question is: how would you rank these rides?

Al’s Ranking of 5 Spinner Attractions

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.

4. Dumbo the Flying Elephant in Magic Kingdom. A cool ride that you can pick your elephant and the elephant flies like Dumbo.

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.

2. TriceraTop Spin in Animal Kingdom. I like dinosaurs and it is related to the Dinosaur ride. I like how it can be tilted.

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.

Al’s 5 Favorite Things to Do in Adventureland

My name is Al and I am Izzy’s younger brother. Izzy gave her list of Izzy’s 5 favorite things to do in Adventureland and here is my list.

1. Pirates of the Caribbean

It’s a fun ride, and I feel like it connects with the movies. I like the drop and how Captain Jack Sparrow is seeing what the bad guys are doing.

2. Jungle Cruise

It looks like a tour that has animals and it’s fun because it is a slow-going boat ride, and you are able to see animals even though they are fake and also if you have a good skipper, it will make the ride better.

3. The Enchanted Tiki Room

I like how there are these birds that sing and do stuff, and, on the sides, there is a volcano. At the end of the show, it erupts.

4. Dole Whips from Aloha Isle

They are really good, and, in my opinion, I really liked the pineapple one, it was delicious. So, after you do the Tiki Room, you can get a nice Dole Whip.

5. Jungle Navigation Co. LTE Skipper Canteen

I liked the food from Skipper Canteen and the meal that I got was really good.
