Heading to Walt Disney World Resort with the kids in tow?
Make sure you give these awesome attractions a go!
From May Day Falls to Kilimanjaro Safaris and more,
There are many great kids’ attractions to look out for!
If you are heading to Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, you are going to need to plan before you go. You can of course always wing it, but if you have children, you will find that not all rides are suitable for them. In this handy article, we are going to guide you through the four theme parks and two water parks of Walt Disney World and discuss the best rides that we believe are suitable for under 10s!
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Location: Frontierland®, at Magic Kingdom® Park
Attraction Type: Thrill ride with big drops
Speed along the haunted tracks as you venture the abandoned mine. Race along the rickety rackety track whilst dodging the dynamite and other explosives. Perfect for all ages, as long as you are 102cm or taller.
Mad Tea Party
Location: Fantasyland®, at Magic Kingdom® Park
Attraction Type: Spinning ride
Who wouldn’t love spinning around in a giant teacup amongst magical surroundings? This is a fun, joyful and silly ride and is certainly one for under 10s (and even for adults if they can stomach it).
Pirates of the Caribbean
Location: Adventureland® at Magic Kingdom® Park
Attraction Type: Slow ride with small drops, partially dark
All aboard for this barge trail into the dangerous waters of the 17th century, move past pirates, haunted coves and navigate your way past cannon blasts. Be sure to look out for Captain Jack Sparrow!
Mayday Falls
Location: Disney Typhoon Lagoon Water Park
Attraction Type: Water thrill
Sit inside your rubber ring, hold on tight to the handles and race down the fast single-rider track. This adrenaline filled ride will have your little ones lining up again and again.
Peter Pan’s Flight
Location: Fantasyland® at Magic Kingdom® Park
Attraction Type: Slow ride with small drops
Under 10s at Walt Disney World Resort love to wave goodbye to the land as they fly across the landscapes on this Peter Pan Flight ride. Drift high above nighttime London, high into the clouds and descend into the wonderful Never Land! There are interactive elements in the queue for this attraction, which makes it a wonderful wait as well as an incredible ride!
Kali River Rapids
Location: Asia, at Disney Animal Kingdom® Theme Park
Attraction Type: Thrill and water ride
Hold on tight and prepare to get very wet as you raft down a roaring river set in the green jungle at the heart of Asia spinning around corners and plummeting down a 20-foot slope! You may want to take a waterproof poncho, extra clothes or a towel to dry off!
Kilimanjaro Safaris
Location: Africa, at Disney Animal Kingdom® Theme Park
Attraction Type: Slow ride
Explore the Harambe Wildlife reserve home to 34 species in an open-air vehicle on a guided tour you will not forget!

Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain

Attraction Type: Thrill ride with big drops
Older kids will love this thrill ride as they jump on board this speedy train that will take you on an exciting journey to the peak of Mount Everest!
