"it's a small world" is every young child's favorite ride. (It's even some of the adults' favorites!)

Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin is a really fun ride because it's a mix of roller coaster, arcade game, and your favorite Toy Story characters!

Mickey's Philharmagic is a wonderful 3D experience and lots of fun!

Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress is a great show for the older children and adults. Younger children may find it boring or difficult to sit through. However, it's informative, fun, and its distinctly Disney-esque theme makes it highly entertaining.
