Welcome to Believe Vacations FINAL POLL to help us determine the GREATEST DISNEY ATTRACTION OF ALL TIME! In today’s post, we’ll reveal the results of what attractions our agents thought cater to all ages. Attractions that were good for all ages received a higher score and thus, the following tiers.
It’s a small world after all!
Astro Orbiter – Spaceships are cool but heights are not and little kids normally are scared of said heights.
Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress – Technically an attraction even infants can ride, the sasparella jokes may be a little old-timey for some.
Space Mountain – One day child, you’ll ride Space Mountain. Today, as you are in a stroller, is not that day!
I’m not tiny; I’m travel sized for your convenience!
Pirates of the Caribbean – A pirates life is for me, for you, my kids, my parents and pretty much anyone that thinks it is cool to be a sea dog!
Mad Tea Party – I’m probably the reason it’s not in the top tier because I dislike spinning in tight circles but it’s an obligatory family photo-op regardless.
Swiss Family Treehouse – Walk-through attractions can be hit or miss and if you haven’t done this attraction before, it’ll never be on your “must” list.
Splash Mountain – The slower parts riding in the logs are a nice pace for all. It’s that 5-story drop thing at the end that may wet the pants of little ones a little more.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad – I have 3 children and two of them can ride what they call “their favorite roller coaster ever!” Thus, not yet suitable for all ages.
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train – Admittedly, this is the smoothest roller coaster I personally have ever ridden. But it’s still a roller coaster so it may intimidate little kids.
Haunted Mansion – As Marv said on Home Alone, “Kids are scared of the dark.” Well this crown jewel of Liberty Square echoes those sentiments…and screams!
There’s room for everyone in this world!

Jungle Cruise – Big kids will always enjoy the quirky jokes from the friendly skippers. Little kids will enjoy seeing the animals and perhaps your child will actually drive the boat. Just a classic attraction for all to enjoy!

Enchanted Tales with Belle – No, Belle is not just for little girls. Little boys enjoy the role-playing too as they get a chance to get the role of the Beast or another character in the tale as old as time. And for bigger kids, there are specific parts you may be able to play as well!

Under the Sea ~ Journey of The Little Mermaid – The Little Mermaid came out when most of us were kids so it’ll always bring us back to our childhood. As for our children, the songs, the characters and the feeling of being “under the sea” will never grow old!

It’s a Small World – Speaking of classics for all, who doesn’t want to sing along with this song? Oh, right, I’m the only one? Well, I beg to differ because any family that rides this attraction together will be smiling and singing all around the world.

Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor – Who doesn’t like stand-up comedy? Again, am I the only one here? But if you add hilarious characters from Monsters, Inc. and the possibility of your joke being told or being “that guy,” then you have a show you’ll laugh about the remainder of your trip with your children.

Country Bear Jamboree – I know I’m not the only one on this one so we’ll just jump right in to saying how impressive it is for all those bears to learn musical instruments, sing and tell jokes throughout the show. Classic western songs for the big kids and just the sight of bears singing for little kids.

Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin – Like Toy Story Midway Mania, this attraction combines accuracy by hitting targets with lasers and also entertainment in the form of travelling through the world of Buzz Lightyear. Kids of all ages enjoy competition, especially when it comes to shooting lasers for points.

Peter Pan’s Flight – Forever standing the test of time, the story of Peter Pan endears to all audiences with the theme of never wanting to grow up. Isn’t that what Disney Parks are all about? Finding your inner child and resorting back to simpler times when it was just fun to make believe? Kudos Peter Pan’s Flight for that constant reminder!

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh – I keep thinking one of these days that little kids will just not know who Winnie-the-Pooh is. I’ve seen it happen with Looney Tunes. But here we are, with little kids still loving Tigger and the other friends while bouncing around in their own Hunny Pot.

Enchanted Tiki Room – A completely harmless show that is full of talking and singing birds. The bigger kids will enjoy this for the nostalgia factor of one of Disney’s oldest attractions. Younger kids may enjoy it more for not having to wait forever to see the show.

Mickey’s Philharmagic – Another example of combining a secret formula that brings in kids of all ages. The characters from the Golden Era of Disney movies combined with an incredible 4D experience will bring together all ages for a fun and wild extravaganza.

Dumbo the Flying Elephant – The elephants on the stand go round and round and have for years. With the recent updates to include 2 at a time and just outside a real Big Top, they will keep going round and round for more generations to come…

The Magic Carpets of Aladdin – That is until those generations realize there is actually a shorter wait time for a very similar attraction in Adventureland!

Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover – Nothing beats a relaxing coast above Tomorrowland. Big kids will enjoy the nice break and stunning views this provides while little kids won’t believe their eyes when they see the inside of Space Mountain for the first time.

The Barnstormer – For many little kids, it’s their first REAL rollercoaster. For bigger kids, it’s the first rollercoaster experience with their children. Thus, this attraction is the perfect definition of “for all ages.”

Prince Charming Regal Carrousel – Of course, who doesn’t love a ride on a royal carrousel? This is one of those attractions where the actual ride-aspects are unimportant. It’s the time you have as a family, to take those obligatory photos, to “race” each other and to truly make dreams come true!
