Kilimanjaro Safari Review

What I Like About It

The Kilimanjaro Safari is a ride located in Animal Kingdom. On the Safari you ride in a big truck and get to see amazing animals. The Safari is a fun ride for kids because you get to see animals you would normally not see in every day life. The truck bumps around a lot which is also fun. Sometimes the driver can make some jokes as well.

Every time you go on the Safari it’s always different. Why? Because the animals sometimes become the center of attention. On my last Disney World trip in August, we saw an ostridge open its feathers and pee right before our eyes!

Another time a couple of years ago, a rhino was walking right next to our truck! The Safari might sound boring but it’s actually an amazing ride for animal lovers!

What I Don’t Like About It

Pretty much nothing, I love this ride! The only thing I don’t like is that the line can get really long so you really need a Fastpass+.

Test Track Review

Height Restriction: Must be 40 inches

What I Like About It

Test Track by Chevrolet (real people, not actors) is located in Epcot and it is my little brother’s favorite ride. At Test Track you get to create your own car and take it for a spin! First, you enter a room where you get to choose the color for your car, the height of your car, and the speed and design of the car. Next, it’s time to get in your car! Scan your magic band or card when you are about to get on the ride and a picture of your car will appear! While in your car, you will be testing your car. The last test is the speed test. It’s a fun race against the other people on the ride who have also made cars! The ride goes outside, has lots of curves and goes really fast. The speed test is my favorite part of the ride.

This is my little brother’s favorite ride!

What I Don’t Like About It

When it rains, they close the ride. This is a pain but it happens to many rides in Disney World that are outside. If it rains and they close the ride, just come back later in the day. Hopefully, it will be open again. Also, there are long lines because the ride is popular, so it is helpful to get a Fastpass+.

FAST! My hair always gets in my face on this ride!

Toy Story Mania! Review

Mr. Potato Head greets you on the way in!

What I Like About It

Toy Story Mania! is in Toy Story Land, located in Hollywood Studios. It is a ride where you wear 3D glasses and shoot arrows, rings and other objects at lots of different targets. You sit two people side by side. The one who gets the most points wins. I usually don’t get the most points, but my accuracy is usually better.

What I Don’t Like About It

When the ride is changing from one screen to another, it whips you around. Besides that, this ride is great!

Slinky Dog Dash Ride Review

Height Restriction: Must Be 38 Inches

What I Like About It

Slinky Dog Dash is located in Hollywood Studios in the new Toy Story Land. When you walk into Toy Story Land you feel like a small toy in Andy’s backyard!

Giant Woody at the entrance to Toy Story Land

Slinky Dog Dash is new and opened in June 2018. It is a roller coaster that is located outside. The ride seems like a small kiddie ride but DON’T be fooled. This ride is FAST! Towards the middle of the ride it speeds up. My favorite parts of the ride are when the ride goes up and when there are about five bumps that make the roller coaster bounce up and down.

What I Don’t Like About It

The ride is outside. Roller coasters that are outside scare me. Seeing all the people below me just freaks me out. This is probably why I enjoy Space Mountain so much.

Dinosaur Ride Review

Height Restriction: Must be 40 inches

What I Like About It

Dinosaur is a ride at Animal Kingdom with many scary dinosaurs. The ride is exciting and lots of fun. The goal is to find the Iguanadon dinosaur to bring it back with you, but everything goes wrong. There is also a hidden Mickey at the beginning of the ride.

What I Don’t Like About It

The ride jerks around A LOT. Even though you have a seat belt it still is very jumpy. Hold the bars or a parent.

Star Tours Review

Height Restriction: Must Be 40 Inches

What I Like About It

Star Tours is a ride at Hollywood Studios based on Star Wars. You and C3PO have to escape from Darth Vader or the First Order. Oh no! They are looking for the rebel spy on your ship (they flash a picture of a random person on the ride who is the “rebel”). Every time you go on Star Tours it’s different, meaning that if you first saw Darth Vader, the next time your ride you might see the First Order.

What I Don’t Like About It

When the doors open for you to exit, the other doors for the people to get on the ride open too. If you’re getting off the ride, you can feel stressed and rushed, especially if you have had to store your bag underneath the seat and you have to get it out. It will be okay! If you hold up the line, it is not the end of the world.

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 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.

Elephants on the Jungle Cruise

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.

Tons of FUN!

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.
