Magic Kingdom Edition

“TIME TO DO THE MUST DOS!”

There are so many things to do and see at the most magical place on earth. From attractions, shows, character meetings and more, Disney World has it all no matter what you enjoy doing. There are always those top rides though that you prioritize before others and can ride over and over again multiple times throughout the day. Here’s 10 of our favorite rides at the Magic Kingdom that we think you’ll love!

Splash Mountain

Zip A Dee doo dah! Splash mountain is always a favorite, especially on a hot day of walking around the park. We absolutely love the music and cheery animals on the ride, and the photo taken at the end is always hilarious. There is something so exciting about going up that top, getting a quick look at the castle before plunging down that 50’ drop. Recently, Disney announced they are remodeling and changing it into a Princess and the Frog ride. Although we will miss Splash Mountain so much, we are curious to what the new one will look like and are excited to ride it!

Pirates of the Carribean

Yo ho, yo ho! Are we the only ones that are obsessed with the smell of this ride? We love how you are transported as soon as you start sailing and it feels like you’re in another time. We can’t help but get the song stuck in our heads and sing along with Jack Sparrow. Fun fact: this is the last ride that Walt Disney had a hand in creating before his death.

Peter Pan’s Flight

Here we go, off to Neverland! This magical ride is one of our all time favorites and we always try to ride it a couple times every time we’re at Magic Kingdom. As soon as you board your flying pirate ship it is a magical experience. We love seeing iconic moments from the film and the message of Peter Pan is one that is so important to the meaning of Disney World. When you’re at the parks you have no worries and live in a fantasy world where you don’t have to be a grown up. We hope this ride sticks around and is never redone because it is such a big part of Magic Kingdom.

Under the sea ~ Journey of the little mermaid

We love boarding a clam shell and going under the sea for a fun time with Ariel and the gang. This ride takes you through the story of The Little Mermaid including iconic numbers like “under the sea” and “kiss the girl”. We love being immersed into this undersea world and getting to relive Ariel’s journey in such a fun way.

Haunted Mansion

Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize! This is another all time favorite ride of ours at Magic Kingdom. It’s so unique and there really isn’t anything else like it in the park. Right away, the creepy and eerie tone is set in the pre show and then you jump in your buggy and the real fun begins. Our favorite part is when you see all the spirits dancing in the dining room. There are so many awesome effects during this ride and we notice something new each time we ride it.

Mickey’s Philharmagic

Mickey’s Philharmagic is such a magical experience from beginning to end. This is more of a mini show, as you’re sitting down in the theater and are given 3D glasses to watch the show. You experience what happens when Donald Duck finds Mickey’s sorcerer hat and tries to conduct. He is thrusted into some favorite animated films, including The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Little Mermaid. The special effects are incredible and really make you feel a part of the show as you sing along to some of your favorite Disney songs.

Carousel of Progress

There’s a great big beautiful tomorrow! This is an oldie, but goodie. Many people just use the carousel of progress as an escape from the rain or overbearing heat of the florida sun, but this is always a huge part of our trips to Magic Kingdom. The ride takes you through the different time periods of the American family, showing the progress and how things are always changing. We love the message this ride sends, and it is one of the oldest rides in the park.

“It’s a Small World”

It’s a small world after all! Although the song is repetitive and catchy, this is one that is a must do when we are in Disney. It’s so interesting to see the various cultures that are shown in this ride and all of the dolls and costumes are stunning. The message behind it being that, at the end of the day, we all aren’t so different after all. We all have laughter, tears, hopes, and fears. It’s especially fun to go on this one over and over again because you’ll always spot something new!

Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin

Buzz lightyear to the rescue! This is always a fun one to ride, especially for those who are competitive. You board your star ship and are on a mission to defeat the evil Zurg and save the galaxy. You win points by hitting the targets and can even become the galactic hero if you accumulate enough points!

The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh

Silly, willy, nilly old bear! We always enjoyed watching Winnie the Pooh when we were young and reading his books, and even as adults this ride is so much fun. You board a honey pot and it is like you jumped right into the story book. Our favorite part is when you get to bounce with Tiger! So many great visuals and you get to have fun with Pooh and all his friends.

These are just a few of our favorite rides in Magic Kingdom, as our favorite rides are constantly changing the more we go and the more they add. One thing all of these rides have in common is the way they bring your favorite stories to life in a way that only Disney magic can.

“And you’re watching Disney Channel!”

By Jaclyn and Marcella

Ahh, the good old days. You’re a kid watching TV in your bedroom and your favorite star comes on the screen and traces the Mickey ears. If you’re like us, and Disney channel was an important part of your childhood, then you will get all the nostalgic feels from this list of Disney Channel shows that aired in the late 90’s/ early 2000’s. As 90’s kids, these shows were our all time favorites and bring back so many happy memories. We challenge you to get through this list without singing the theme songs in your head-good luck!

Lizze Mcguire

This family fun comedy show stars Hilary Duff as Lizzie, a teenage girl who navigates adolescence with her best friends Miranda and Gordo. Lizzie’s thoughts are expressed through a hilarious animated cartoon version of herself. This alter ego is comical and sarcastic and makes Lizzie all the more relatable. So many important issues that teenagers go through in life are portrayed throughout the show, along with many heartwarming moments.

Let’s not forget about the Lizzie McGuire movie. Hey now, hey now this is what dreams are made of! This is still one of our favorite Disney channel original movies. We love watching Lizzie have an unforgettable adventure in Rome as she gains a new confidence in herself and lives her best life. Of course, one of our favorite parts is the long awaited kiss between Lizzie and Gordo at the end of the movie.

We are so excited for the reboot coming to Disney Plus and to see all of our favorites again, including Lizzie, her family, and Gordo. There isn’t an official date yet, but we can’t wait to see these guys back on our screens again!

 

Even Stevens

This is another fun comedy show that follows the shenanigans of brother Luis, played by Shia LaBeouf, and his perfectionist sister Ren, Christy Carlson Romano. The two clash throughout the show and it’s hilarious to watch as Luis gets himself into all sorts of trouble. The whole dynamic of the Stevens family is so much fun to watch.

Similar to the Lizzie McGuire Movie, Even Stevens also has its own film. This movie has a very survivor type feel to it as the family is tricked into a free island vacation only to find out that they are on a reality television show, so crazy!

That’s So Raven

Oh snap! To this day when I think of psychics I think of sitting in my room watching That’s So Raven and trying my hardest to have psychic visions of my own. Unfortunately, no matter how many times I made the faces she made and focused, it never worked. This show was always a wild ride as Raven, along with her friends Chealsea and Eddie, scrambled to prevent her visions from coming true and causing all sorts of chaos.

 

Phil of the Future

Main character Phil, played by Ricky Ullman, and his family are time travelers from the year 2121 that get stranded in the year 2004, the year when the show premiered. It’s so cool to see how they navigate life as people from the future, all while trying to make sure no one finds out. I remember being so jealous of all the futuristic technology that they used on the show and wondering how long it would be until we had that in our time period. Ricky is going through high school and learning everything about growing up, only it’s even more fun because he’s living in what is considered the past to him.

 

Hannah Montana

Hannah Montana is a special one for us because the year it ended was our senior year of high school, so it felt like a part of our childhood ended at the same time as the show, which was emotional. Once this show ended is when we felt as though Disney Channel began to really change. We still love going back and rewatching as Miley Stewart balances life as a normal girl and pop star Hannah Montana. This show deals with friendship, family, growing up, and all the challenges that come with being a celebrity trying to have a normal life. There are also lots of amazing guest stars including The Jonas Brothers! One of our favorite episodes (shocking, I know!)

We can’t forget the iconic Hannah Montana Movie! Miley really struggles with the balance of being both herself and Hannah in this one, but with the help of her family and friends, she overcomes this. We still laugh at the fact that the whole town agreed to keep it on the down low that they wouldn’t tell anyone she was Hannah. The important thing is that Miley goes back to her roots and learns the importance of family.

Suite Life of Zack and Cody

Are we the only ones who wished we lived in a hotel after watching The Suite Life of Zack and Cody? Set place in the Tipton hotel, twin brothers Zack and Cody live there with their mother. Not only are Zack and Cody fun characters, but the other residents and workers in the hotel make the show what it is. Mr. Moseby, Esteban, Maddie, and London to name a few. There are so many hilarious dynamics on the show, like Mr. Moseby chasing around Zack and Cody as they wreak havoc, and London and Maddie who are basically opposites.

 

Wizards of Waverly Place

 As big fans of Selena Gomez, we loved Wizards of Waverly Place. This follows a magical family as Alex Russo goes through adolescents. With a hit movie following the success of the series, the Russo family is one that kids everyone related to and loved. This family centered show brought some hilarious laugh out loud moments. The catchy theme song was also a hit which kick-started Selena Gomez and her music career. This is a fun one to go back to if you’re in the mood for some magic and laughs.

JONAS

What Jonas Brothers fan didn’t watch JONAS? As die hard Jonas Brother fans, we can remember being SO excited when we heard that they were getting their own television show and we would get to watch them weekly and constantly on our tv screens. Having starred in their own hit original movie, Camp Rock, there was no surprise that a television show was in the works for Joe, Kevin, and Nick. The show follows three brothers trying to live a normal life while balancing the famous rockstar life and all the different shenanigans they get up to with their friends Macy and Stella. It also features the Jonas Brothers real life little brother, Frankie Jonas. It’s hilarious and ridiculous which is what makes it so good. Filled with new music and small short Jonas Brothers music videos, this was a Jonas Brothers fan’s dream come true.

Shortly following the success from season one, season two took a bit of a serious turn, with more romance and drama that led to an amazing album which became known as Jonas LA. Although the Jonas Brothers themselves have voiced their regret of the show, the show itself led to some hilarious memories and some fun hit songs that fans still ask them to perform live; such as Pizza Girl, LA Baby, and Scandaniva.

 

All of these shows are memorable, and are still fun to go back and rewatch. They’re heartwarming, hilarious, family centered, and fun for all ages. Whether you’re just discovering them with Disney Plus or you grew up on them like we did, these shows are sure to go down as Disney Channel classics.
