Canal boats in Fantasyland

[Pugdog007]

Is this a decent ride? Never heard of it.

Do you mean Storybookland? I think it's really cute, though I haven't ridden it in years. It was my sis's fave at one point (and she was an adult at the time). It has miniatures from different fairytales and you start out by going through Monstro's mouth.

Yes! This is a good ride. We went on it not knowing what to expect and loved it.

I was bored out of my mind on this ride, but my kids seemed to enjoy it. It is one of those that the captain of your boat talks about all the little sights you see. A calm/quiet little ride, we did it early when Bobsleds were broken. After the ride Bobsleds were up and running so it worked well. I wouldn't wait in line to see it.

I think this attraction is very cute. It's very unique. I love this one! It's one of my favorites.

<font color=navy>This used to be a D Ticket back in the days when you bought your tickets in books.

I enjoy riding this attraction. The boat goes through the whale's mouth, and you see mini renditions of the Disney fantasy tale characters' homes. There are also tiny live trees, and beautiful landscaping. Although not an exciting attraction, it is certainly very nice, and worth it, in my opinion.

We love this ride. We also only ride after dark, it looks and feels better that way.
It is oaky during the day but it seems a little more magical when night has fallen.

I personally like this ride, but not for the wait it usually has. Ride it right after Dumbo first thing in the morning or wait until night, which I have heard too is much nicer. That being said, my poor husband hates this ride. He rode it once with us and claims that we robbed him of a good half hour of his life. You are looking at miniature houses from the diffrent fairy tales, and the miniature trees and landscaping are real, and the lights, waterwheels etc all work. Do it once, and decide for yourself. Just dont wait 45-60 min for it, and also it closes during paradessince the line in right on the parade route.

You should try the Explorer Canoes in Frontierland. The guide gives you instructions on which end of the paddle to hold and doesn't talk much more than that. And the beauty of it is if you don't like the ride you can paddle harder to get it over with!

I *love* this attraction. I can see why it would drive some people (men in particular) bonkers, but I think it is simply darling. It is a must do in my book, and I agree- you must do it either first thing after Dumbo and Peter Pan, or wait until evening when the lights are twinkling. The lines get VERY long and S-L-O-W as it's a pretty slow loader and probably a 10-15 minute little boat ride. But absolutely charming!

Can't wait to go on it with ya Susan!
