Disney Parks pride themselves on being designed to cater for all ages. For every infant that has baby care stations, there is the grown adult who dines at a 5-star restaurant. For every teenager looking to sit close to his/her main squeeze on a dark ride, there is a dad, like me, continuously studying wait times and plans to get around the parade. And then there’s the kids, who happens to be the focus of today’s voting results.
Welcome to Believe Vacations FINAL 2 POLLS 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!
Mission: SPACE – Simulators are never a good idea for children, let alone those who reach G-force sensations!
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror – Spooky, scary, eerie and creepy. At least the Haunted Mansion does not have a vertical drop.
Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain – Trips to the mountains can be fun but only adults should attempt to find (and narrowly escape) the Yeti!
Primeval Whirl – Would you believe that this attraction has the biggest height requirement in Animal Kingdom?
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith – If you a a child and thinking of riding this one, DREAM ON!
I’m not tiny; I’m travel sized for your convenience!

Kali River Rapids – Plunging into the roaring rapids of Asia may not be suitable for all but it is a ton of fun!

Living with the Land – And here we have an instance where the voting is objective. Technically, anyone can ride, but if you gave a toddler a choice between this and Crush, I think you know which they’d pick.

Spaceship Earth – Technically suitable for all ages, children are going to wonder why adults are so fascinated with Rome burning.

Test Track – Those that just meet the height requirements would rather play in the pre-show designing area rather than riding.

Dinosaur – Dinosaurs that tower over you, shriek and show their immense teeth will not sit well for underoo wearers.

Soarin’ – The attraction itself barely moves but with the seats rising into the air, it’d be stressful for an adult if you had a child that liked to squirm.

Star Tours: The Adventures Continue – All ages love Star Wars but not all ages can be buckled securely in a flight simulator. Try Jedi Training as a back up!

The American Adventure – How can a show be not suitable for all ages? When it involves history and no princesses, that’s how!

Kilimanjaro Safaris – This isn’t your everyday train ride through your local zoo. Actually seeing the animals up close may be a little frightening to young ones.
There’s room for everyone in this world!

Toy Story Mania! – Toy Story characters for the little kids; a competition for the bigger kids. This attraction is fun and engaging and it’s one the entire family will want to do many times.

It’s Tough to be a Bug – With the exception of the appearance by Hopper, everything in this show is harmless fun. A Bug’s Life characters for the kids and a little juvenile humor for the bigger kids never hurt either.

Frozen Ever After – Well of course Frozen is going to be for little kids. That much is a given. But the bigger kids will enjoy the incredible animatronics, the homage paid to its predecessor Maelstrom and the special effects.

Fantasmic! – Hosting the most characters in one location at Disney, little kids will enjoy seeing their favorites in live action scenes or from movie montages. Bigger kids will enjoy the immense production combining fire, water, pyrotechnics, stunts and the pre-show sing-a-long!

Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros – Interesting result here as it doesn’t seem like the most fun attraction for little and big kids alike. But then again, a nice, relaxing yet festive boat ride through the Mexico exhibit chasing down Donald Duck could be endearing to most.

Turtle Talk with Crush – This one is great because Crush does such a great job involving both little dudes and parental units in his act. It’s Crush so little kids love him but all of Crush’s lingo and mannerisms make bigger kids love him too.

Muppet*Vision 3D – I’ve said it once and i’ll say it again; the Muppets will never get old. They never get old because they keep reaching the next generation. So while the bigger kids will simply get a thrill sitting in Muppet Theater, the little kids will laugh for the old jokes and pranks.

Journey into Imagination with Figment – Another classic attraction that little kids may simply enjoy for the cute, purple dragon and the “pooting” effect. However, to us who grew up with the opening of Epcot, Figment will almost be as endearing to us as Mickey Mouse. Hey, I said almost!

TriceraTop Spin – As you’ll notice in the next post, 2 of the 3 spinning contraptions that elevate your vehicle (in this case, a dino) into the air just resonates with both kids and adults. And with dinosaurs continuing to be a fascination for all, congrats TriceraTop Spin; you are #1 for once!
