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!
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. As you travel through the patch you’ll be sung to with several songs that you just can’t get out of your head! 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!
When most people think of the Magic Kingdom, Space Mountain is the first thing that comes to their mind. It has one of the best que lines in all of Walt Disney World and one of the best themes! You start off by walking through the entrance and you feel as if you are going into outter space. When you get to the loading dock, you see a giant planatarium like ceiling with shooting stars and other celestial beings. The ride has two coasters to it and both are very similar. You start off by going through a "warp tube" and then the fun begins! You go wizzy throughout the ride in complete darkness, with stars and other beings projected onto the coaster and ceiling. It's a very fun sensation as you rocket throughout the roller coaster, eventually landing "back on Earth". The exit line is just as fun as the entrance, making Space Mountain one of the best and most loved rides throughout the Magic Kingdom and Disney World alike!
In Disney World’s Magic Kingdom is a show that will not only educate you but entertain you as well! That is the Hall of Presidents which allows you to meet all 44 presidents as well as learn a bit about colonial America. The show is similar to Epcot’s American Adventure as it is completely done with video and animatronic figures of the presidents. Several famous speeches are said along with at least a hello from all forty three presidents. Each time a new President is elected the show changes as each new president is added. This keeps the show one of the freshest in the Magic Kingdom and all of Disney World as it changes at least every eight years. Although you may already know your colonial history and most about the Presidents, the show is still great and will give you a nice break if you are tired from walking all day!
It's a Small World is a Disney classic as it inspired Walt Disney to create the parks we know and love today. It all starts off as you set sail to meet children from countries all over the world singing one small, catching (and sometimes annoying) sound. The children throughout the ride and the music change to fit the country and region they represent and in the end they all come together to show just how small our world is. To finish things off we see goodbye messages from all around the world that show us just how small and magical the world we live in today is!
