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.
