Anyone who has ever set foot inside of a Disney theme park has a favorite attraction. What makes each person different, however, are the reasons for why they consider it to be their favorite. These favorite attractions can stay constant over long periods of time or change rapidly as we get older, our tastes change, and new experiences are created. I think it is safe to say that our favorite attractions are not based solely upon any single factor. Rather, there are many aspects that go into why we consider any one particular attraction to be our favorite.
I can’t say how many times I have been asked or have asked someone else what their favorite attraction is. This question is usually unfair because it warrants a quick response without giving the proper amount of time to think about all the different components of each attraction. Thus, whenever I answer this question, it seemed as if I always have several different responses. This really got me thinking about what Disney attraction truly is my favorite; there are so many to choose from and, having come to Disney World since I was a small child, I have so many experiences and memories to draw upon.
Thus, I have decided to undertake the task of ranking my top fifty attractions from Disney’s American theme parks: Disneyland, Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, and California Adventure. The rankings take into account all attractions (rides and shows) that are currently in these parks. For the sake of these rankings, I have chosen to include only those attractions that I have personally experienced and will not include nighttime spectaculars or parades.
These rankings are based upon my own personal tastes but include multiple factors such as theming and detail, storyline, history and heritage, emotional connection, the ride system/technology, level of immersion, the queues, entertainment value, re-rideability, and the overall ride experience. By no means is this list expected to be the be-all-end-all of Disney attraction rankings. Rather, it reflects my own personal feelings about these attractions at the moment. If I were to do this again two to three years down the road, my rankings may be totally different. But, at this present time, here are my top fifty Disney attractions.
Stay tuned!!
