Spinning Rides and Queasy Adventures

While I enjoy almost everything at Walt Disney World, I’m not a fan of spinning rides. Even Star Tours and Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run can make me a little queasy if I ride them too many times. My kids don’t like doing Mad Tea Party with me because I won’t spin the teacup—it’s already dizzying enough! Same goes for Prince Charming Regal Carrousel—no thanks! Carnival-style rides are just not my thing.

Must-Do Attractions (If Time Allows!)

These are some of the rides I’ll always try to fit in, even if I have a busy park day:

  • The Monorail (yes, it’s transportation, but it’s also an iconic experience!)

  • Peter Pan’s Flight

  • The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

  • Journey into Imagination with Figment

  • "it’s a small world"

  • Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run

  • Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin

  • Toy Story Mania!

  • Slinky Dog Dash

  • Kilimanjaro Safaris

  • Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway

  • Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure

Every visit to Walt Disney World is magical, but this list helps me prioritize what I can’t miss. What’s on your must-do list when you visit the parks?
