There's plenty to do in plenty of rides, and they do have a few go kart tracks, but this location also seems to be more crowded.

Every single staff member we came into contact with was super friendly. Even other visitors were commenting on this. Their safety practices are thorough. I felt comfortable with their safety practices. The wooden roller coaster is way more than it looks. For a small coaster, it packs a lot of punch! We ride front seat and back seat. If you are prone toto neck and back issues, do not ride the back cars lol. Why did i not give five stars? My very favorite ride in the planet is the tilt a whirl and before getting our wristbands were specifically asked if it was running. It starts at 6pm on weeknights. We left the park for a few hours and came back at 6pm only to be told that was the only ride not operating. I know this happens but i was super bummed. It really was the main reason we went there.

Disclaimer: I'm not one of those Disney Adults, so I can't blindly just rate this place 5 stars…read morebecause Disney is the God I choose to worship. But as a random person, we didn't really have a bad experience. Magic Kingdom is not an amusement park, it's a theme park. Rides are basic, but I think it's so every guest can have the same experience. Easy to stop and go if you need to get on the ride in an untraditional way. Completely overpriced though, which is why my wife and I have been together for 22 years and this was the first time we went to Disney in that time. If we didn't spend more on lightning lane passes, we would not have had a good day. I feel you can do whatever you want here. People cut in line, push past others, talk through all the instructions and rides. Some weird woman just recited the entire Haunted Mansion introduction, because with main character syndrome, she wanted to ruin the experience for everyone else? I feel I enjoy Marvel and Star Wars more than most other properties and I still think Disney has catching up to do with Universal Studios. It's a better world over there. There is a lot of Disney "Magic" though. You have to pay for it, but like Disney, you throw enough money at a problem and it does appear better.

Disney continues to prove why it's in a league of its own…read more This trip, we opted for the after 2:00 p.m. tickets, and I highly recommend it. We were able to enjoy slow mornings, have a relaxing brunch, skip the early rush, and still enjoy full evenings in the parks. Even in mid-July, the crowds were much lighter than expected. The Florida heat and humidity were no joke, but bringing cooling fans made a huge difference. We also purchased Lightning Passes, and they were worth every penny. Because of the heat, we focused more on indoor attractions and shows, which ended up being a great strategy. My only suggestion? Disney could use a few more water rides across the four main parks, not just at the water parks. The parks were spotless, Cast Members were consistently friendly and helpful, complimentary water cups were easy to find, and somehow Disney's famous mosquito control system really does seem to work. We barely noticed any bugs, which is pretty remarkable for central Florida. A special thank you to Megan from Kansas State, who was working in Frontierland. She spent extra time answering our daughter's questions with so much kindness and patience. Then, completely unexpectedly, she surprised our family with VIP viewing passes for the parade and fireworks in a private viewing area. It turned an already wonderful day into a memory we'll never forget. Even with the scorching heat, the Disney magic never melted. In fact, I'd say the magic was on fire.

My wife liked it and my kids (11 & 9) thought it was okay. I've been to a safari park in San Diego, so I expected Disney's Animal Kingdom park to have a safari ride/adventure that would be 1-2 hours long. Instead, the ride was only 15-20 minutes long. That was super-short! We did see a male lion pretty close, giraffes, hippos, and a few other animals. But, I expected so much more. Expedition Everest and Avatar Flight of Passage were both really good! Na'vi River Journey was just okay. It was slow-moving ride like Pirates of the Caribbean, but not as good. I think it was actually a little bit too dark inside the ride. The Lion King show was just okay. It did NOT have Broadway-quality singers and performances like in Beauty and the Beast (Hollywood Studios). For me, Animal Kingdom was clearly #4 of the 4 Walt Disney World parks. Overall grade: C+

Fun spot has been a staple for my family since I was a kid…read more My brother and I used to love racing around on the go karts. We first started doing this in magical midway, but when that felt too rickety and unsafe, we started looking for other parks, and that's when we found fun spot! We would go multiple times a year every year when we were younger and always took advantage of the anniversary ticket prices. It's been a while since we've gone, but it would definitely be another fun trip with nostalgia . The parks have expanded over the years to add more carnival style rides, and a few roller coasters, which are pretty fun too !

I had heard from locals that it's a great local option over the big theme parks. Fun Spot was pretty great, for what it was. Free parking, free admission if you don't plan on riding rides, also a discounted adult pass if you only are going on rides with your kid who is too young to ride alone. The whole place was small, maybe the area of a handful of city blocks. And on the Sunday afternoon when we went, the place was quiet enough that we never waited more than a few minutes to get onto a ride. As we were only there for a couple hours, the cashier recommended the 4 ride pass for my kids, and the companion pass for me. But if one were to spend more hours there, buying the day pass online for $59.95 is quite a bargain. Not all rides were open, but the "big" rides that most kids want (the roller coasters and the go carts) were open. My daughter, who is not a big roller coaster fan, had a harder time finding kiddie rides that she actually wanted to go on, and she watched the go carts and didn't even want to try those with me driving. However, the place was small enough that I felt fine leaving my 10 year old son to go on rides by himself while I went on the Ferris wheel or the merry go round with my 8 year old. There are a bunch of food options available throughout the park. They were definitely more affordable than Disney prices! Most of the places offered souvenir cups with discounted refills, but there were also water stations set up throughout with free cups. I'd definitely come back if I had a few hours to burn and the kids didn't want to go swimming. Hopefully at some point, my daughter will change her mind about roller coasters, though!

Walking into Pandora doesn't feel like entering another section of Animal Kingdom, it feels like…read morestepping onto another planet. From the very first moment, the floating mountains completely stop you in your tracks. Pictures don't do them justice. Standing beneath them while waterfalls cascade below and vines wrap around the massive rock formations creates one of the most believable themed environments Disney has ever built. Every direction offers another incredible photo opportunity. What really impressed me was the attention to detail. Giant alien plants, strange wildlife, weathered pathways, and even the smallest rock formations make Pandora feel like a living ecosystem instead of a movie set. The Imagineers clearly obsessed over every inch of this land, and it shows. Then there's Avatar Flight of Passage. The queue deserves almost as much praise as the ride itself. Disney doesn't simply have you standing in line, they immerse you in the story. As you move through caves, laboratories, and the Avatar Program research facility, you're constantly discovering something new. From the massive Mountain Banshee skeletons to the scientific equipment, the incredible Avatar floating in the laboratory tank, and countless hidden details, the queue becomes part of the attraction rather than just a wait. Because you're always exploring and taking in the environment, the line feels noticeably shorter than it actually is. Disney also made the queue surprisingly practical. About midway through, you'll find a restroom, along with a water fountain and bottle refill station, so you can take a quick break without having to leave the line. It's a thoughtful touch that makes waiting much more comfortable, especially on a hot Florida day. Most of the line is under the shade. And then you board. Flight of Passage is simply one of the greatest theme park attractions ever created. The sensation of linking with your banshee and soaring across Pandora is incredibly convincing. The movement, visuals, wind effects, scents, and breathtaking musical score combine into something that feels more like a real adventure than a theme park ride. By the time it's over, you'll probably already be planning your next ride. One of my favorite aspects of Pandora is that it rewards people who slow down. Instead of rushing from attraction to attraction, take time to wander. Look up at the floating mountains. Listen to the waterfalls. Notice the alien vegetation and hidden pathways. Every corner feels alive, making the land itself just as much of an attraction as the rides. We also had lunch at Satu'li Canteen, which was another highlight. The food was fresh, flavorful, and a refreshing break from the usual theme park fare. The Ocean Moon Bowl was packed with flavor, the Cheeseburger Pods were unique and fun to try, and both desserts, the Blueberry Cream Cheese Mousse and the Mangkwan Mousse--were outstanding. It completed the immersive experience perfectly. Myself and my Son both enjoyed Pandora and will return. If I had one criticism, it's simply that Pandora leaves you wanting more. With only two attractions, you can experience everything relatively quickly, but the world itself is so breathtaking that you'll find yourself lingering just to soak it all in.

I will never understand Pandora The World of Avatar at Disney's Animal Kingdom. I'm not a fan of…read morethe movies, and it really makes no sense within the parameters of this theme park. I guess since it's a Disney IP they gotta milk it for all it is worth, and they definitely are doing that here. I'll admit that it is one of the most visually stunning areas in AK, especially at night. I guess if you're a fan of the "Avatar" films, you'll really dig it. Otherwise, it's just a bunch of funky psychedelic fake plants and what not. The floating mountains are the main showstopper with their massive rock formations covered in vines and waterfalls that look like they're defying gravity. It's the kind of thing that makes you feel like you've actually stepped onto another planet. During the day, it's lush and colorful but at night, everything glows with bioluminescent lights which turns the area into this dreamy, neon wonderland. There are only two rides here but they are among the park's most popular. There's Flight of Passage and then the Na'vi River Journey, with the former being much better than the latter. Both attractions always have super long lines, but I'm not so sure that's a sign of their overall quality more than the fact that AK doesn't have many rides to begin with. There are some Avatar-themed food options that are creative and the atmospheric music adds a lot to set the tone. This area of the park is newer so that also means it was well designed for crowd control and flow. It never seems overly crowded over here.

Go here in the morning first thing to avoid the crowds and sometimes the overbearing heat! Excellent experience for family and kids to se especially in the morning as the first ride to avoid the crowds. There were so many animals already roaming around in the morning as they're just waking up and likely grazing food to start their day. The guides are funny and very knowledgeable for the kids and everyone will have a great time going on this ride. At the end, there's a little photo op to do do with some Safari jeep and overall, it's a really great start to enjoy the day at Animal Kingdom!

Oh, I really liked this ride. It's possible that's because it was the first ride we went on at…read moreDisney World. But it's a super ride and perfect for small children. My two year old was probably a bit confused about what was going on when we climbed into our safari vehicle, and I'm not sure she was totally on board throughout the ride to be honest. Although we've been to Lincoln Park Zoo, she was very very young at the time and would not remember being this close to an animal that wasn't on the level of a dog, snake, or turtle. So whilst I think being mere feet from giraffes, elephants, and wildebeests was unexpected, she said she enjoyed it. The driver was informative and didn't make the embarrassing jokes that the "captain" of the Jungle Cruise did, for which I'm thankful. In addition to the aforementioned animals, we came across black and white rhinos, lions, hippos, cheetahs, flamingos, and more. The ride was leisurely and comfortable, and there's no height requirement so anyone can ride. This was a lot of fun to start our first visit to Disney World. It's a very popular ride, apparently. 45+ minute wait times are not uncommon. We used a lightning lane to cut through most of it but we did have to wait 10 minutes or so before we got on. I'd definitely recommend lightening lanes for this one!
