Age: Attraction Review:

ages 2-4: Children who are tall enough to reach the height requirement may still find the final drop too intense.

ages 5-10: Some children are incredibly frightened by the final drop, others rate Splash Mountain as one of the best rides in the Magic Kingdom.

ages 11-15: Often ranked as one of the best attractions in the Magic Kingdom.

ages 16-adult: Often ranked as one of the best attractions in the Magic Kingdom.

senior citizens: The most thrilling element of the ride is the big drop which is easily visible from the outside. If you think you can handle the plunge, the rest of the attraction is quite wonderful and is one of Disney’s best.

Disney Tip

Splash Mountain is usually the longest line in the Magic Kingdom. It’s best to visit either the first hour the park is open or the last hour before the park closes. Also, like most water plunge rides the riders in the front get the most of the water so this is the place to be if you want to get wet.

Genie+

Splash Mountain is an iconic ride in Magic Kingdom and is available with Genie+. It can get a decent line especially when it is hot. Aim for an afternoon reservation when it is the hottest.

Disney Facts

Splash Mountain features the Academy Award-winning Disney tune, “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah” as well as “How-Do-You-Do” and “Ev’rybody’s Got a Laughin’ Place” from Song of the South.

If you listen carefully to the prairie dogs in the Laughin’ Place scene, one of them seems to shout out “FSU” which is a reference to Florida State University.
