[LadyDulcinea1]

Favs

2. Pirates
3. Splash Mountain

Least Favs.
1. Swiss Family Treehouse

So many other rides I like, but those are my top three must do ones!

 

[lisadisney2003]

OK - this will be about my 38th trip. My favorites have remained the same over the years:
Haunted Mansion
Space Mountain
Buzz Lightyear (newer ride) which is fun for groups.

I could skip:
Jungle Cruise (the real thing is AK is much better)
Tom Sawyer
It's A Small World (but it is a classic & we do it every trip)

My oldest is 7, and she loves meeting the characters. Even gets their autograph, so we'll spend some time at the judges tent. They agree with the others on favorite rides (Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, and Philharmagic).

Least. Snow White, Country Bear Jamboree

 

[All Aboard]

Top 4
Pirates of the Caribbean (although its now tougher to ride since I've experienced the original)
Haunted Mansion
Splash Mountain
Space Mountain
p.s., add Tower of Terror and you have my WDW top 5.


Bottom 2
Stitch's Great Escape
Tomorrowland Indy Speedway

Don't really dislike any others at MK.

edit, I take that back. Add the Enchanted Tiki Room, since it was horribly destroyed in the late 1990's.

 

[freakylick]

One caveat to my list is that I have not been on a couple of the newer rides like Stitch and Buzz...

Most Fave (how do you limit to 3 )
~Haunted Mansion
~Pirates
~BTMRR
~Honorable Mention to Jungle Cruise...someone's gotta give love to this classic

Least Faves
~Disney-ized Circle Rides like Astro-Orbiter/Dumbo (lines are too long for what you get)
~Tomorrowland Speedway (haven't done this one on my last 3 trips to MK)
~Swiss Family Treehouse (I find it fun, but miss-able if time is an issue)

I can't pick 3 favorites because I love so many of them, but "diversions" that take up time that I would probably skip would be:

Enchanted Tiki Room
Tom Sawyer's Island
Swiss Family Treehouse
Liberty Bell Steamboat

Depending on personalities of your children, might consider skipping Hall of Presidents. I like it, but it may be boring to them and it takes up a big chunk of time.

 

[gradtchr]

I love almost all of them. My least favorite by far is it's a small world. I got stuck on it many years ago for an hour and after an hour of the music I swore I would never go on it again. I had nightmares for weeks!

I did go on it last week for the first time in 10 years because my husband had never been. He now has been and I won't go on it again unless I am forced to.

What's sad is I liked it up until i was stuck on it for an hour. They could have turned the music off and i would have been fine but nope can't do that.

 

[MinnieMom]

The Best:

1. Mickey's Philharmagic -- an absolute must-see!!!
2. Dumbo -- I don't see how anyone could go to MK and not ride Dumbo
3. Peter Pan

The Worst:

1. Stitch --
2. The Tiki Room -- It's cute, but there is just so much that is BETTER
3. Swiss Family Treehouse -- another that is just too boring

I love almost all of them. My least favorite by far is it's a small world. I got stuck on it many years ago for an hour and after an hour of the music I swore I would never go on it again. I had nightmares for weeks!

Of all the rides, I feel sorry for you! I like Small World but I think listening to that song for that long would make me feel about the same.

Similar (if less traumatizing) experience in Epcot. Got stuck at the VERY end of Journey into Imagination in 2003 (whatever incarnation that is) and they also kept the song playing. After listening to "Imaaaaaaginaaation!" over and over....I started to feel a little loopy. Needless to say we didn't go back on that trip

3. Enchanted Tiki Room, just like the DL version so much better.

My Favorite 3

Mickey's Philhermagic

Actually my favorite park is MK!!!! With kids anyway!!

 

[ShuisFan584]

Well my 3 personal favorites would be Splash Mountain, Pirates and Haunted Mansion. Although I'd say for your 3 kids, the best picks would be Splash, Space, and Big Thunder Mountain.

As for least favorites, I really don't have any. But the 3 I could see your kids getting bored with are Hall of Presidents, Tiki Room, and Swiss Family Treehouse.
