Disney has many nuances that are best discovered and experienced at aleisurely pace. But sometimes guests ask me to recommend the highlights of aparticular park because they only have a short time to visit. What’s good andnot so good can depend on the ages of the visitors, but usually the whirlwindvisit is a side-trip where the travel had another main purpose such as abusiness trip. Therefore, this is from the fun-loving but rushed adult’s pointof view. Park-Hopper Pass at the ready, here you go: - Hollywood Studios: Go straight to the Great MovieRide, then Rockin’ Roller Coaster, Tower of Terror, Muppets 3D, SoundsDangerous, and finish off with Fantasmic. Skip the stunt show (too long) andthe shows based on the Disney movies (you won’t get it anyway). Want to feelyoung again? Eat lunch at the drive-in movie restaurant. Complete with ’57Chevy’s.
- EPCOT: Brianiacs delight. GM Test Track is fun,if a little contrived. Honey I Shrunk the Audience is very funny. The ATTWorld’s most impressive feature is it’s view from the entrance to the Park…thetheme of communication loses something in translation. SPACE! is good if youare good at keeping things in your stomach IN your stomach. Then go over toThe World exhibits. The USA one is very rich in US history, most of theothers are more tourism focused. The Mexico ride is kind of low budget, theNorwegian one is more thrilling. The 360 movie of China is impressive, butyou have to stand the whole time. The movie of Canada, not so thrilling, eh. EPCOT’s fireworks are the best, except on July 4th. Then Magic Kingdom rules!
- Magic Kingdom: The premier park is also the mostchild-oriented park. So the adult on the run passes FantasyLand and goes toSplash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Pirates of the Caribbean(warning, not politically correct), Jungle Cruise, and Space Mountain.
- Animal Kingdom: Go straight to the Safari ride. It is a fairly good representation of what a real photo safari is like in anAfrican wildlife preserve. Next, head over to “It’s Tough to Be a Bug”. Kidsscream, but adults laugh. Don’t forget to read the movie posters on the wall,they are more than clever! Dinosaur is a rough ride through prehistorictimes, and it’s funny too. While you’re in that neighborhood, go over to theold time carnival area, play (and win, it’s easy) one of the skill games andgive that giant stuffed elephant you get to the first kid that goes by. You’ll make her day, and yours! Cool off in the river ride if it’s hot, andstop for dinner on the way out at the Rain Forest Café.
