The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is located in Fantasyland and is great for little ones. Ride with Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Piglet and many of his other friends passing a giant storybook telling the story of his adventure.

I don't remember much on this ride for this is the first time I had seen this one and we only rode it once. It has replaced Mr Toad's Wild Ride which in my opinion was a better attraction. But if you enjoy the Pooh characters, then you'll like this one.

There is a fastpass available for this ride which I recommend getting. The wait time without the fastpass is approximately 45-60 minutes. The ride alone is not much longer than 4 minutes.

Check out this short movie of the entire ride below to get an idea of what to expect so you can make an informed decision as to whether ride this one or skip it altogether.

Mickey's PhilharMagic

Mickey's PhilharMagic is a 3-D film attraction located at the Magic Kingdom theme park in Fantasyland. Mickey's PhilharMagic is a 12-minute long show starring Donald with 3-D effects, interactive smells and water as well as a number of characters from many of the Disney classic movies.

I can remember when this theatre belonged to the Mickey Mouse Revue when we first went to Disney World (let me clear my throat on this one - 1976, I'm really showing my age now). Too bad it closed down in 1980. It lasted for 9 years when it originally opened in 1971. Okay, I'm back from my time machine now.

My review, we all loved this one. From Donald picking up Mickey's famous sorcerer's hat to Donald being shot from the stage to the wall behind you. It's fun, hilarious, and just another fantastic magical moment from Disney. There are no fastpasses available. The wait time is approximately 10-15 minutes on average. Not a long wait for an excellent production. Don't miss this one.

Peter Pan's Flight

The Entrance to Peter Pan's Flight

Peter Pan's Flight, located in Fantasyland, is a two to three person suspended ride in a miniature ship over London, Never Land, and finally through Skull Rock, where you can see Captain Hook, Mr. Smee, Princess Tiger Lily and the Crocodile before unloading.

This ride is usually all the time crowded 90% of the time. It's best to get to this one early in the morning or you can grab a fastpass. However, when we went in early June through the middle of June, we found that when we got to this ride in the afternoon to the later part of the day and got our fastpasses, we still had to come back within an hour and a half to two hours. This truly is a popular ride and believe it or not, the whole attraction from loading on to your mini-ship to when you get off is a little over three minutes long (oh wait a minute, I mean three minutes short). I really wish it could be longer being the reason you have to wait so long.

In closing, I don't recommend waiting in line for 60 minutes or longer especially in the hot summer sun. Get a fastpass, go across the way to It's a Small World, ride Cinderella's Golden Carousel, watch Mickey's PhilharMagic (an awesome 3D show), all depending on how much time you have before returning to Peter Pan's Flight.

Check out the video below for the entire ride from start to finish. It is a little dark but you can see a lot of it for the most part. And the music in it is just great.



It's A Small World

It's a small world after all. I think just about everybody knows this tune. This is a fun and relaxing attraction for all ages.

You get onto a boat similar to the Pirates of the Caribbean and it glides slowly across the water. In this ride you will find child-like audio-animatronic figures from all over the world singing the ride's title track, animals including elephants, giraffes, leopards, laughing hyenas and much more. The ride has a colorful, pleasant and peaceful arrange of scenery not to mention the tune that gets stuck in your head.

We all loved this ride. We got on this one several times in the five days we went to the Magic Kingdom.



Wait time is approximately 15-20 minutes. Most of the time we got on in about 10 minutes. No fast pass is available for this attraction at this time.
