Favorite Magic Kingdom Attractions

I thought it might be fun to do a ranking now and then. There's lots to do ones on. I think I'll start with the park that's dear to my heart. Here are my favorite Magic Kingdom attractions.

5. Tomorrowland Transit Authority

This is probably the most underrated ride in all of Disney, but it's a good one. It's just a tour around the attractions of Tomorrowland, but it provides a great escape from the hectic pace underneath. There's hardly ever a wait and it's one of the longest rides around. You're treated to different looks to familiar attractions and an amazing view of Cinderella Castle.

4. "it's a small world"

If this was Disneyland, "it's a small world" would rank even higher. While it doesn't compare to its West coast version, it's still one of my favorites. You either love "small world" or hate it. Count me in as one of those who love it. It's such a sweet and charming ride and there's always something new to see each time. Plus, it's fun to make wise cracks about the dolls.

3. Mickey's Philharmagic

Unlike the other 3-D shows at Walt Disney World, Philharmagic doesn't seem to ever get old. Maybe it's because it doesn't rely on jokes and gags but instead touches on many of the most cherished scenes in Disney history. Seeing Philharmagic is like listening to your favorite song and visiting your beloved friends again and again. The magic doesn't wear off.

2. Mad Tea Party

The Tea Party is insanity. I love spinning and getting dizzy. It's just so much fun throwing yourself around and laughing throughout the whole ride. It's something that must be done with others, but whenever I get the chance to go on the tea cups, I take it. The best part about the tea cups has to be dragging on a person who can't stand spinning and trying to make them sick. Good times!

1. Cinderella's Golden Carrousel

This is the most simple ride in the whole park, but I think it's the most magical. Yeah, you can find carrousels anywhere, but there is just something special about this one. There's no ride that exemplifies "fantasy" more. You're treated to the sights of Fantasyland while riding a gallant horse to the greatest of Disney songs. The experience is even better at night when darkness falls and the lights of the Magic Kingdom shine all around. Every visit to the Magic Kingdom usually must include a ride on Cinderella's carrousel. I even have a horse to call my own!

So I take it you've noticed that none of the major thrill rides made my list. They're ok, but to me, I come to the Magic Kingdom for magic, not thrills.
