Just curious -- are there any rides your kids didn't particularly like/care for? We were able to go on lots of rides, but have a list of things we want to do on our next visit to DL.
Our girls (age 6 and 3) were absolutely terrified of Snow White. I warned them it might be a little scary, but they wanted to go anyways because they love Snow White. They were so mad after the ride LOL. I refused to even take them on the Pinocchio ride because my SIL said it would be scary for them.
They didn't love Alice in Wonderland -- even though it looks so cute. They weren't scared or anything -- just wasn't a fave. Mr. Toad was just OK for them, too.
But they *loved* everything else!!
I am wondering -- is the riverboat fun? the canoes? tom sawyer island? the pooh ride? the storybook canal boats? I went to some of them in WDW when I lived close by, but it was eons ago. I haven't been to them at DL yet.
It is just nice to know what is worth the wait if it is busy!
 
Our kids HATED Roger Rabbit ! Actually, so did I.
Pooh was very colorful and fun pictures, but nothing daring or scarry for sure.
 
The canoes are work--everyone is supposed to paddle. The two big boats--Mark Twain and Columbia are nice rides for kids. Peter Pan is fun, but the line is always very long. Storybook Canal Boats are good because they can look for the homes of storybook characters. Tom Sawyer is fun for the kids to run off some energy.

Same with our five year old daughter (too wild for her). She's also not a big fan of the following:

Astro Orbiter in Tomorrowland (too fast)
Any of the 3-D movies (she was a little scared of them)
Pirates (not really scared, just wasn't a favorite of hers).

We also haven't taken her on any of the roller coaster rides (except Go Gadget Coaster) or the Haunted House.

My daughter also loves Snow White, and when my DH and I went up to DL for a day, we decided to check out the ride to see if it would be something she would enjoy. Boy, are we glad we did. That ride is not appropriate for little ones, IMO.

My kids enjoy the Pooh ride, Story Canal Boats, the Mark Twain, The Columbia and Tom Sawyer's Island (a great place to explore). We haven't done the canoes, but I'm really not a fan of them anyway.
 

My dd 8 does not like most of the rides. She will only go on Dumbo, Peter Pan, the Carrousel in Fairytale land. The winnie the Pooh ride and Buzz Lightyear. She will go on the Mattahorn if I bug her enough. Her all time favorite is the Haunted Mansion (go figure!?!) especially when it is decorated for Halloween/Christmas. They do not do this at WDW and when we went in December she was disappointed. We go at least 2 times a year and she is just content to walk around and has a blast.
 
The only ride that my girls (2 & 4) hate is Haunted Mansion. They do fine on Snow White and all the other dark rides in FL.
 
My older son before we left in Feb told me he wanted to ride the "snail" ride. I figured out it was Alice in Wonderland. I told him it might be a little scary and he still wanted to do it. After he did not say much and then I caught him telling grandma that it was a scary snail ride. The year before DH took him on the Matterhorn and he won't go near the mountain now. My boys scare easy though. The only dark rides they like are Pooh, Monsters Inc, and Peter Pan. I won't take them in the others for fear I won't get much sleep.
 
it differs. My younger one insisted on doing the Go Coaster...I kept telling him I didn't think he'd like it. He insisted he would. When we got off he told me I was right, lol! He wasn't seriously freaked out, just didn't enjoy it.

My older son freaked out at POC because of the dark tunnels. There was nothing about the ride itself that scared him, but he didn't like not being able to see what was coming next.

They didn't love the Storybook Canal, but they didn't hate it, either.
 
The sweetpea doesn't care for Peter Pan. Its my fave so she will go on it for me every now and then. But she just doesn't care for it. No real reason why, she just doesn't.
 
My seven year old loves anything fast- screamin', space mt., etc. But, she doesnt like Mr. Toad's wild ride.

My four year old doesn't like the matterhorn, but will ride it. He doesn't like Snow White or Pinnochio.
