Underrated Attractions of Magic Kingdom

Today, I am going to talk about the underrated attractions of Disney World. Some of my favourites can be put into this category. Everyone focuses on the rollercoasters, the water rides and the classic Disney magic; however Disney World hosts much more than that. And I am here to enlighten you with my own top 3!

Magic Kingdom

For this blog post we shall start with Magic Kingdom, the main hub for all of the Disney magic. But even in this spectacular park there are attractions that people often overlook.

1. Carousel of Progress

The Carousel of Progress is situated in Tomorrowland. It was originally created by Walt Disney himself for the 1964 New York World's Fair. This attraction takes you through different eras in a circular rotating theatre through the advancement of technologies and electricity. I personally love a good educational ride, and this one taught me a lot! The animatronics are fantastic and the facts are top notch. It is also a great place to stay cool for the 21 minutes in hot weather! The sign isn't very prominent and people seem to either miss it, or don't know what it is and walk past it. 

2. Monsters Inc Laugh Floor

Also in Tomorrowland is the Monsters Inc Laugh Floor. If you have seen the movie Monsters Inc you will know that monsters used to run their electricity by capturing the screams of children, but nowadays they have found that laughter is stronger. Mike Wazowski and friends need to collect laughter from you to power their city. It is basically a stand up comedy show on screen, it is extremely funny and has lots of audience participation. You can even text in your own jokes!

 

3. Tomorrowland Transit Authority

Again in Tomorrowland (starting to think Tomorrowland is a treasure trove for underrated attractions), is the Tomorrowland Transit Authority also known as the PeopleMover. A lot of guests don't realise that this is a ride and expect that it shuffles guests from one part of the park to another. This however is not the case. It actually goes round in one big circle. It is a blue coloured train like vehicle which allows you to see the whole of Tomorrowland from above. It points out featured attractions, shops and dining and can be quite helpful for first timers. It also goes inside Space Mountain, Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin and Mickey's Star Traders shop. As well as this it shows some futuristic exhibits, including Walt's original concept art for Epcot.
