I love how long this ride is and how many layers of the story you get to experience as you go through it. Of all the versions of Splash Mountain at the various Disney parks around the world, this is the best. It’s something I always imagined doing as a child. I love being able to go deep inside the Seven Dwarfs mine to see them at work collecting those dazzling gems. It’s just thrilling enough for adults and mild enough for kids. This is the ride Magic Kingdom had been missing for a long time. (If you geek out over stuff like this too, then check out this post on the real-life Los Angeles locations that inspired this ride.) 5. I love how the story of the Twilight Zone is weaved throughout this experience and I love the details that went into designing both the exterior and interior of this ride. The anticipation of that first drop was terrifying but once I was off the ride, I wanted to go again and again and again. I will always remember the first time I did this as a kid. I recently re-watched Avatar and was just astounded at what an incredible job Disney Imagineers did on this experience. I would wait in line for over an hour to do this (something I NEVER do). Rise of the Resistance is to Star Wars fans as Flight of Passage is to Avatar fans. The first time I went on this, I actually cried. I would only consider myself a 50% Star Wars fan and yet, I have a deep profound appreciation for this ride (ahem “experience”). If this isn’t at the top of everyone’s list then there is just something wrong. After all, “There’s a great big beautiful tomorrow, shining at the end of every day.” 2. And even though it’s old and outdated, the principals it embodies will never be. And as I’ve gotten older, it’s reminded me of what a crowning achievement it was in Walt’s day. It’s the ride that holds the most nostalgia for me. This is my favorite ride in all of Walt Disney World. Who doesn’t love talking about their favorite experiences? Am I right? Ok, so here we go… ranking my top 10 rides at Walt Disney World. Today, I thought it would be fun to create a top 10 list for rides at WDW. I love lists of all kinds: to-do lists, grocery lists, bucket lists, top 10 lists, just to name a few. (As a travel planner, it’s kind of in my DNA).
