The Top Four Non-Thrill Rides in Walt Disney World
You can’t really understand the true joy of visiting Disney World until you’ve been standing on Main Street, staring up at the castle, as fireworks burst around you. As you plan for your trip you’re likely trying to figure out where to even start! While there are plenty of thrill rides around the parks, for those of you more interested in the theme rides, check out the top four theme rides in Walt Disney World, one for each of the four theme parks.
Spaceship Earth is an exceptional experience for kids and adults of all ages. This is a very slow-moving dark ride that takes you through a wide variety of scenes that show the evolution of human communication. It’s located in that huge “golf ball” people generally associate with EPCOT and is the first ride you’ll come across when you enter the park. These sets are impressively well done, with a captivating story to go along with it.
Kilimanjaro Safaris are an animal lover’s dream! You can ride through a natural environment that makes you feel you’ve traveled thousands of miles to the planes of Africa. You’ll see animals living their daily lives in their natural environments, and though the ride can be slightly bumpy, guests agree that this just adds a feeling of authenticity. Your driver will be very knowledgeable about the animals so don’t be afraid to ask questions!
TIP: Animals are most active early in the morning and later in the afternoon.
While there are plenty of rides for thrill-chasers, you can see that there are plenty of rides and attractions for those who like a slower pace too! These are just the top examples in each park. There are dozens of other great non-thrill rides to be enjoyed.
