Top rides each park!

[rlilly79]

Hi all! I have tried some different websites but I figured this would be the best and most up to date way to get a good list of rides. The last time I was in WDW there was only MK and Epcot......so, I was wondering if you all could break it down for me by each park, MK, AK, HS & Epcot... What do you all think are the best, must see, must do rides/ attractions? My children are girls 13 & 10 and boys 2 & 8.

Thank you all soooooo much.....we are leaving soon and I just couldn't seem to really get a good detailed website that explained each ride in a way that I knew you all would be able to do....the "professionals"

Oh my... what a task. You're bound to get a lot of vastly different responses with a good amount of overlap. Mine:

MK
Thrill: Space Mountain
Theater: Philharmagic
Show: Dapper Dans
Dark: Haunted Mansion

AK
Thrill: Everest (duh)
Theater: Tough to Be a Bug
Show: Lion King
Dark: Dinosaur

Epcot
Thrill: Mission Space
Theater: American Adventure
Show: Jammitors
Dark: Spaceship Earth

HS
Thrill: Tower of Terror
Theater: Star Tours
Show: Beauty and the Beast
Dark: Toy Story Mania

Yeah there's some blurred lines in my classification. But that's kinda how I see 'em.
I realize BatB is a show and theater etc.

The previous posters are correct. Also, if you go to the official Disney site for WDW and click on "Attractions", it lists all the rides & attractions for each park. For example, here's the page for the Magic Kingdom.

Looks like everyone has pretty much hit the highlights. But along the lines of TunaSled -I also would suggest trying to set aside some time to catch the Jammitors, Voices of Liberty(American Adventure), Streetmosphere performers in HS, definitely the Dapper Dans and the Main Street Marching Band in MK. I believe in all parks you can pick up a times guide that will help you pinpoint when they perform. They're awesome and are a nice break from the "top" attractions.

In addition to the Attractions descriptions mentioned by a previous poster, also check for Youtube videos if we're not sure about a ride.
