Disney’s Carousel of Progress is one of those classics you just can’t miss when going to the Magic Kingdom. The ride takes you on a journey through the decades and the progress that ensued. Each “revolution” takes you to a different time period and you learn about how technology increased along with a catchy tune. After watching the video I’m sure you’ll be singing right along. The Carousel of Progress is located in the Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrow Land. You may miss it if you aren’t familiar with the area as it isn’t highly publicized and looks rather run down. But take a ride on the Carousel of Progress, a digital ride, and remember why you love the show so much! Remember it’s a great big beautiful tomorrow!

Toy Story Mania is one of the newer rides in the Hollywood Studios and shrinks you down to the size of a toy as you take on several carnival games. You jump into your buggy and shoot your virtual gun toward the 3D screens, popping balloons, throwing rings onto bottle tops and several other midway games. It’s an interesting mix of reality and virtual reality as you shoot virtual darts and rings but they aren't real! The 3D is really impressive though and allows for very accurate aim. Toy Story Mania is a very immersive game that spins you around and pits you against your partner. Being one of the most unique rides you’ll ever ride, or play, Toy Story Mania is a must for anyone going to Disney World’s Hollywood Studios.
Typhoon Lagoon is home to a very unique experience that you wouldn't expect at a Disney Park. The Shark Reef at Typhoon Lagoon lets you swim in a man-made reef with real live fish and real live sharks! The sharks are small ones that can't hurt you, but it's still exciting and fun to snorkel in the middle of the park along with living fish. As you swim across, you can see the entire reef below you along with the fish swimming as well. Some may even brush against your legs or get close, but it's totally safe and totally fun! Here's a really good video of the attraction and the fun of snorkeling with the sharks.
Magic Kingdom is home to many Disney classics and Splash Mountain might be the most animated of them all. Taking place in Brier Rabbit’s brier patch from the movie Song of the South, you’ll ride along the brier patch on a floating log boat.

With several hilarious scenes and one wet ending, Splash Mountain is a great ride to cool off on hot Florida day and will keep you humming all day long!
