But March's post is all about what rides we really want to make sure we get done on our trip. Now I love 98% of the rides at Disney bar a couple but with it being the anniversary we have planned a list of the ones that we MUST do.
The time we are going to Disney is usually such a quiet time of the year but with the anniversary being on all normal rules don't apply as nobody knows how busy it is actually going to be hence we have made a list of the rides and that will be the same with the shows and parades so we don't miss ANYTHING! I am hoping it will be quiet so that we can get everything done and even do them twice if we are lucky but as long as I see/do it once and have a good time that's all that matters.
Disney Park
I have pretty much rode every ride in the Disney Park at least once apart from Autopia and if I'm honest I don't really have any plans to ride anytime soon as its not something that appeals to me.
Discoveryland:
Star Tours
This feels like it has been closed forever but I have to admit it has needed it that's for sure. I rode this first back in 2014 on my first ever trip and even back then even though it was amazing it felt very dated so I cannot wait to get back on here and see what has changed.
Hyper Space Mountain
It is beginning to feel like the back section of Discoveryland is slowly changing in to Star Wars land like what has been happening in the other parks. Hyper Space Mountain formally know as Space Mounting Mission 2 has been closed for several months whilst it undergoes some massive changes and transforms in to Star Wars themed.
This is a favourite ride of mine and even with the changes which some are complaining about its still going to be the exact same ride but with new effects and interior decoration. Apparently the carriages them selves are changing as now the high restrictions have changed meaning slightly small children can now ride.
Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast
How doesn't love a ride on Buzz Laser Blast its fun, competitive and always required a best out of 3 to name who the real champion is. It's even better when it breaks down and you can score loads of points easily.
Fantasyland:
It's A Small World
It's A Small World is just one of those rides that has to be ridden when in Disney where ever you are in the world. It has the most annoying song in the world that gets stuck in your head all day and never goes away. The dolls are creepy but everything is so beautifully done.
Les Pays Des Contes De Fees (Story Book Boat Ride)
Now this ride is more for Emma than myself because I have been on this before and don't get me wrong once you have been on it once you don't really need to go on it again although I am looking forward to seeing the paint job they have given it because it was looking very old and tired when I went on it but then its to be expected with it being outside in all weather conditions.
Peter Pan's Flight
My love for this ride has just grown over the years since I first rode it in 2014. I love the movie Peter Pan and the fact that you get to travel around all the scenes from the movie whilst listening to the classic songs just makes feel super cheery. I love seeing Nana at the start and flying over London but I haven't actually been on the ride since its lighting system was updated so I am looking forward to seeing the changes.
Snow White Story Ride
Another one of Emma's ride choice's which I am glad she choose as I haven't ridden this in a while as on my last proper trip it was closed and there is just something I love about going around the scenes from the movies.
Adventureland:
Pirates of the Caribbean
Another ride that brings me such pleasure has to be Pirates of the Caribbean and like the others below it is just a ride going around the some scenes from the movie but I love the sound track and singing along as you bob along. There is also two drops in this ride which makes it even more enjoyable along with the well designed sets and special effects.
It is actually closed at the moment and is due to open back up featuring Captain Jack as he currently isn't there. Whether there are going to be another major changes I am not 100% sure.
Indiana Jones Rollercoaster
I cannot wait to get back on this again in September. I have only been on it twice before back in 2015 as it was closed previously or we couldn't ride it due to back injury and having small kids with us. I hate to admit I'm not a massive lover of the films but I do love this ride.
Frontierland:
Phantom Manor
Every time I walk up to this ride I cannot help but sing "I left my keeeyyyys in the mausoleum" just because its one of my favourite bits from the movie as it holds childhood memories for me. This is DLP's own version of the Haunted Mansion ride in Florida and Tokyo and with loving the movie so much and also a little bit of creepiness in my life its just a must do and its only a simple ride as well.
FINALLY after 4 prior trips I was able to get to ride Big Thunder Mountain and it was worth the wait I will tell you that. Back during my first visit in 2014 it was the only ride we were unable to do as when ever we had waited in line we would get kicked out due to technical difficulties or it was closed boo hoo.
It then closed for nearly 2 years to have a massive refurbishment and finally back in February it was open again and we actually managed to ride it without a hitch! Shame I couldn't have gone it again as we were only there for the day but damn it is incredible and I plan to get on this again at least a couple of times during my trip.
Walt Disney Studios
I have to say that other my last few trips to Disney I have fallen more and more in love with the Studios. I just love the vibe of the place and it houses some of my favourite rides.
Crush Coaster
I've only managed to ride this 3 times with the wait times being ridiculously long all day and every day. One day I waited a whole 2 hours to ride this and I will not being doing this again. The trick is to wait for the evening parade and hop in line when its at 20 minuets wait. It is so worth the long wait anyways but now I know that it does get quiet I won't be doing it again!
Who doesn't love Toy Story? The ride may be short and over in a couple of minuets but its one of the my favourites in the Studios. There is just something about the rush you get going back and forth and getting higher and higher.
Ratatouille
This ride is just amazing and one of the best there it has to be said. I love trackless floor and how the rats move around and all the 3D visual effects but also the smells and change in temperature its just amazing. Plus its the story of my favourite rat of all time Remy!
Tower of Terror
Tower of Terror is my all time favourite ride in the Studios and it always will be regardless! I love a good thrill ride and this is one of them, the whole lead up to the ride is great waiting inside the hotel lobby then going in to the library before making your way to the service elevator. The story once in the lift is in French but I have to say it does make it feel more creepy because you have no idea what is being said at all.
Rock N Rollercoaster
What I love about this rollercoast is that you get launched in to the ride and reach 57 per hour in 2.8 seconds whilst listening to Aerosmith music through the speakers in your seat. Its thrilling, great fun and gives you that adrenaline rush.
So these are the rides on mine and Emma's to do list which we will hopefully get done at least once or maybe twice depending how busy the parks. Stay tuned for the next part of the series next month!
