Top 10 Disney Park Rides
Grizzly River Run
(California)
My favourite Disney ride of all time. I originally didn't think i'd like this ride at all but it was so hot in California that we had to give it a go, and it quickly became my favourite ride! at one point we went on it three times in a row! and then got a fastpass when we came off! the heat in California in summer is a lot better than Florida - Florida is too humid, you don't dry off after a wet ride and at times I had to put my shoes in a dryer the next morning while we were in Florida! In California you're completely dry within 10min of getting off this ride, or even the Jurassic Park ride at Universal, in August at least anyway.
Buzz Lightyear's Laserblast/Astroblasters
(All)
This ride pretty much has the same layout and objective in every park - but in the Florida version you have a different gun, and i'm blaming that for the amount of times I lost. I usually always win anywhere else!
Toy Story Mania
(All)
I love this ride/game! We went on it at least 5 times in California with a 30min wait max, so you can imagine our disbelief when we only got on it once in Walt Disney World the year after - our fastpass ride - because it was a 2+ hours standby wait! then that was made even worse the year after when we visited Tokyo - we never actually managed to get on it! The fastpasses were all gone within 10min of the park opening and the standby queue stood at 3+ hours the entire day!
Pirates of the Caribbean
(Paris version)
I do like all versions of this ride, but the Paris version is my favourite, the drops are just a lot better and I love any (not too scary) ride that takes photos! The swinging pirate is the main thing to watch out for in the Paris version - although half the time he isn't working nowadays! He was working once or twice back in February last year, but then not at all in November.
Casey Jr
(Paris)
This might be a 'kids coaster', but I can't help it. I love this ride, when we've been in Summer we've had the odd occasion where it's opened early for Extra Magic Hours and my brother and I would ride this five times in a row! It got to the point where the cast members were offering us our choice of seat because we'd already done the cages, back, middles etc - front is definitely the best!.
Teacups
(All)
Self explanatory one really! Plus my fiancé and Mam both hate this ride!
Phantom Manor/Haunted Mansion
(All)
I like all of the versions of Phantom Manor/Haunted Mansion and ride it at least once per Disney trip, but I found the version in Tokyo to be better than the others - it was different, i'm not sure how, but it made me jump...twice!
Studio Tram Tour
(Paris)
I love this ride, although we only really go on it in summer, its been closed for refurb during a couple of our visits recently too, but its a definite must do if you're visiting Walt Disney Studios at Disneyland Paris. Not going to give any spoilers, so just go ride it!
Stitch's Great Escape
(Florida)
Although this ride is a bit rattly and uncomfortable, I love it just because it's a great Stitch themed ride - without the worry of being picked on like at Stitch Live! in Paris or Stitch Encounter in Tokyo.
Radiator Springs Racers
(California)
This was one our favourite exclusive rides when we visited Disneyland in California. It's located in the California Adventure park which is my favourite park of all time. Cars Land had only opened the summer before our visit so queue times for RSR were still over an hour within around 15min of park opening and there were special queues for fastpasses at park opening because there was basically a queue to get one, and there would be none left by the time the last person in the queue got near the front! We rode it every morning that we visited Disneyland first thing because otherwise there would be a huge queue to get on! We did stand in one of the huge afternoon queues, but it was for our last ride on our last day - and it was the only race we lost during our entire visit!
My fiancé isn't happy that i've left out Space Mountain, Rock n Roller Coaster and California Screamin', but i'm a scaredy cat so i've never actually been on any of those!
