DISNEY SPRING BREAK
Disney's Best For Spring Break
By Ann Childs
Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida is 49 square miles. The size of
a whole city and inside the World, as it is known, there are unlimited
ways to entertain yourself. I have listed the ten most enjoyable
attractions at Disney World appropriate for all ages.
1. From EPCOT the winner is Honey I shrunk the Audience. The
audience in this attraction appears to have been shrunk down to the
size of ants as a giant film shows on the screen. As rodents run past
in the movie your chair shakes appropriately. When someone on
screen sneezes you will get a light mist in your face. This one has
everyone squealing with delight. This is an attraction for all ages.
2. From The Magic Kingdom comes the Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger
spin. You are enlisted to help Buzz save the Universe.. The way you
achieve this is by way of laser cannons that are set in front of you in a
futuristic car hurling through space. Your car will spin while you try to
hit targets out in the Universe. The effects are achieve with black light
and glow in the dark surfaces. Kids get great joy out of making their
parents dizzy on this one. Do not miss this one.
3. Disney-MGM Studious Back lot Tour at Disney-MGM is an
informative excursion. Guests get to tour through movie sets on a
tram. It is fascinating to see what goes on behind the scenes to
create special effects and different scenes. At the end you are taken
through floods and explosions before being shown how it is done.
4. Disneyquest at Downtown Disney is an often overlooked indoor
theme park. This larger than life arcade provides a welcome respite
from the broiling Florida sun. It is five stories high of interactive
entertainment. On the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction inside
Disneyquest you an up to three others are manning a schooner
fighting against pirates and sea monsters. One plays the roll of
captain steering the vessel while the others are busy launching
cannons at the bad guys. Just when you think it is over a giant sea
creature tries to board your ship and you must defend once again.
This attraction will take your mind off of anything else as you will be
preoccupied with your own survival. Fun is the operative word here,
for all ages.
5. Also from Disneyquest is the Extraterrestrial Alien Encounter where
you can blast and be blasted inside of small spaceship that you fly.
Actually you drive it around a floor painted like the milky way. One
person steers while the other shoots large rubber cannons from the
ship. If you hit an opponent at just the place it will send their ship into
a tailspin. All the more fun is if someone else hits your ship's target
spot.
6. The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh at Magic Kingdom
provides a bit of nostalgia for parents and a sense of wonder in the
little ones . Seeing Pooh and friends come alive in the Hundred Acre
Wood will warm your heart. This one gets busy though so you may
want to use a fast pass if the park is packed.
7. The fireworks show is best viewed from Magic Kingdom.
Depending on the time of year there are different themes to this one
but one thing remains constant Disney doesn't do anything halfway
and this is no exception. One year I saw the Fourth of July fireworks
and the explosions were in the shape of stars. The show was visible
all the way from the Disney Pop Century hotel which is not right next
door. All ages will ooh and gasp over the show.
8. Mickey's PhilharMagic show is a 3D short movie shown on the
largest seamless screen ever built. As per all things Disney it is not
just a film. This attraction has the audience watching a scene from
Fantasia where Donald Duck puts on Mickey's magical hat and is
catapulted into the audience. You will smell the scents and feel water
and a surprising but not painful sting as well have a visual
experience like no other. This may be the most entertaining twelve
minutes you ever spend in a movie theater. Bring the kiddies but don't
sit back fully in your chair if you want to avoid the sting.
9. At EPCOT the are many national pavilions. The best of all is the
Mexico Pavilion. Inside there is a slow boat ride around the Rio el
Tiempo Volcano. This is a gentle and peaceful ride that serves to
calm overstimulated children and quell the fire of aching feet in adults.
10. Dinosaur at Disney's Animal Kingdom is not an Aladar ride as I
was led to believe. There is a life size Aladar from the kids movie
called Dinosaur standing right outside but don't let that fool you. You
and your fellow victims are strapped into large metal jeep like
vehicles and taken on a trip back in time to when the great beasts
roamed the earth. At the end you find out you have mistakenly
transported a dinosaur forward to modern times. It is more transfixing
that frightening unless like myself you are worried you may fall out of
the car and be electrocuted on the track. My fellow pint sized riders
had a rollicking good time while I rode in terror. Take your chances.
There is a height restriction on this one of 40 inches.
