I have visited Walt Disney World theme parks twice in my life, and I liked it so much, I never can wait to go back. To me, it is worth every penny. In my personal opinion, Magic Kingdom Theme Park is the best park of all. There are so many things to do for every age group you will never get bored.

For adults, you have your thrill rides, Splash Mountain and Space Mountain. Splash Mountain is a very thrilling water ride where you WILL get wet. Space Mountain is an awesome roller coaster that takes you on an adventure through space in the complete dark. It is scary and exciting at the same time. My personal favorite is the Tomorrowland Transit Authority. You get to sit on a tram for like 20 minutes which it is covered and you get a breeze. And if you have been to Florida before, you know it is very hot. This tram will take you through Tomorrowland and show you all of the attractions in the area. Very nice to check out to see if you would be interested in any of the rides.

A great family attraction to check out is It’s a Small World. It is really fun for the little children with lots of music, will get annoying by the end of the ride for the parents, but it is a Disney Classic. Another thing for the little ones is to check your map of the park to find where your favorite Disney Characters will be signing autographs. Although I am a grown adult, I still will get an autograph book and visit the characters, it's like a tradition that will never end. Plus, it is a treasure to keep for your own memories.

Also while at Magic Kingdom, don’t forget to visit The Haunted Mansion. It is great for the family, though if you are traveling with real small children they may be a little frightened. If any of the large attractions are very busy, I highly recommend FASTPASS. FASTPASS is a privilege to all Disney guests in which you can stick your park pass in to the machine at the attraction and you will get a card back with a time on it. This is the time that you should return to the attraction and you will not have to wait in line. This is perfect for the impatient one in your family, plus you will ensure to see all the attractions you will have time to maybe go back to your favorite a second time.

We visited Walt Disney World in Mid-September, when it was the end of hurricane season. This was perfect because there was like no one there and we didn’t have to wait in any lines. They did not have FASTPASS running because there was no waiting in 99.9% of all the attractions. But if it is available, USE IT. Enjoy your vacation to Walt Disney World.

I have not been to Disney World in roughly 10 years or so. I am in my early 20's and had a blast at Disney World. Although tickets are outrage ($70/adult) and about $10 to park in the enormous lot...it's still worth it to be a child again.

We had these frozen drinks at the Dole stand, pineapple soft serve in a pineapple juice ...to die for! My boyfriend had the Coke and pineapple and loved it. Also, be sure and check out the main street parade, it's so fun.

Definitely worth all the money...especially for children. Go early, gates open around 9-10am and close around 10pm.

From the very beginning, we entered the park full of energy. We tried our skills riding a Segway (upright motorized vehicle), and we toured the areas in World Showcase, Canada, Germany, Mexico, China. Food was great, entertainment was the best. Even though it rained slightly, we still enjoyed a great German buffet during the storm, and the entertainments was well worth sitting through the storm for.

Rafiki’s Planet Watch: Wildlife Express Train: This is the only way to get to Rafiki’s Planet Watch. It’s a short ride where you pass by the pens where the animals are kept at night. Sometimes you may even see some of the animals that didn’t come out into the park that day.

Habitat Habit!: This is a short trail where you can see cotton-top tamarins and learn more about them.

Conservation Station: There are some exhibits about animals and facts about them. It’s one attraction that cannot be missed. The best part was the talking trashcan that was outside. The kids went crazy for it.

Affection Section: This is a goat and sheep petting zoo.

Asia: This was my other favorite area of the park. It isn’t as nice as Africa, but it is still great. In the middle of this section is a pond with an island for monkeys in the middle. I saw two and a baby while I was there.

Maharajaj Jungle Trek: This is a beautiful walk were you can see bats, komodo dragons, and tigers. There is even a room that you can enter full of birds.

Kali River Rapids: The ride isn’t that exciting. It is more or less an excuse to get wet…or better yet soaked. It’s a very short ride down some rapids. In the middle of the raft is an area where you can put items that you want to stay dry. I suggest wearing flip-flops, a poncho, or a bathing suit, unless you want to be soaking wet for the rest of the day.

Expedition Everest: This is the BEST RIDE EVER! I road it twice and it is amazing. It’s a high-speed train ride though Mount Everest, but things take a turn for the worst when the Yeti appears. I could spend all day on this ride and not get sick of it. This was my grandfather’s second favorite ride (after Peter Pan)!


Dinoland U.S.A.: This is defiantly a kid’s park that is set up like a carnival. I really wasn’t a big fan and felt that it broke up the theme of the park; however, I could see how kids would enjoy it.

DINOSAUR: This is a ride that sends you back in time to the past to capture a dinosaur. This is a fun ride that sends you literally flying all over the place. At the end there is a great scare that caught everyone by surprise. There is a picture taken by here and it is worth the time to stop and see it, because all of the pictures that I saw were extremely funny.

This is hands down my favorite park for several reasons. First this is one of the best themed parks that I have been to; it is absolutely beautiful. While I was there the park was at capacity, however, I hardly noticed it. They have done such a great job at braking up part with different trails, attractions, and trees that you can’t see as many people as there really is in the park. I also liked it because it was very adult friendly. Even though there are many kid areas and children can enjoy the animals it’s presented in a way that even adults can enjoy it as well.
Before planning your time here check the park hours. This park usually closes at 6pm; however, while I was there all of the normal park hours were extended for New Years Eve, but Animal Kingdom closed at 6pm instead of 8pm.

Oasis:
This is at the entrance of the park, when you enter there is the Rainforest Café and the oasis exhibit. There are a variety of animals here including an anteater, a boar, and birds including the macaw. I would suggest visiting here in the afternoon when the lines for the lines are long and the other animals in the park are trying to avoid the sun so you won’t see much of them.

Discovery Island:
It’s Tough to be a Bug! : There is no real need to get a Fastpass for this ride. This is a 3-D show hosted by Flik, where guests are "shrunk" down to the size of a bug. Flik’s friends put on a show until Hopper shows up. This is a fun show, but many small children came out crying. If your child is afraid of the dark I wouldn’t take them in.

Discovery Island Trails: These trees wind around the base of the Tree of Life. Get some great, up close pictures of flamingos, lemurs, tortoises, and more.

The Tree of Life: This is the focal point of the park much like Cinderella’s castle in Magic Kingdom and the Golf Ball at Epcot. This tree is breathtaking. Bring a camera with decent zoom so that you can get some up close pictures of the animal carvings on the tree.

Flame Tree Barbecue: I ate lunch here and it was pretty good. I got smoked barbecue ribs. It was better than any other place that I ate in any of the parks. They have really great seating arrangements as well. I got a wonderful view of the lake with Expedition Everest in the back. Before leaving a boat came by with Mickey, Minnie, and Donald. It was a great treat for everyone.

Island Mercantile: This is a pin trading spot, but it also has some great scrap-booking supplies.
