Test Track at Epcot
Test Track at Epcot is great fun, but not the sort of ride to try if you value your carefully arranged hairdo! It is a very, very popular ride and the Fast Passes for it go very quickly, so perhaps you should head for it first when you go into the Pa...

The Haunted Mansion - Magic Kingdom

Disney's Animal Kingdom
I have to admit that I think I have under estimated this park. Animal Kingdom is Disney’s newest theme park which opened its doors in April 1998. I had only visited it twice, just after its opening and three years later - maybe because I have ...
