No.10 -8

Donald’s Boat (and other aqueous play-areas)



This wasn’t around when I was a kid but my younger siblings LOVED it!Water babies will absolutely adore this type of recreation. There is something thrilling about running around with the fear of getting soaked at any moment with the harmless but fun-inducing weapon of water. Little boys can run rampant aboard Donald’s Boat (don’t worry Moms, it is infinitely docked at Mickey’s Toon Town Fair) spraying each other playfully with H2O. But make sure to bring an extra pair of undies and clothes. Or you can buy that little Poseidon a new outfit from the gift shop conveniently located opposite this attraction.

Playhouse Disney



Personally I’ve never been inside the studio to watch the show but its guaranteed to please the under 7’s! All their favorite early morning Disney characters come to life in a live stage audience participation show at Disney’s Hollywood Studios Backlot. Kids can clap and sing-a-long to the music, and parents can just take a breather as their kids are distracted (and happy) for a good 30 minutes.



Pirates of the Caribbean



Hands down one of my favorite rides. I’ll never grow out of this one. I love the eerieness of the rides’ theme as well as how it morphs as you sail along the murky waters of the Caribbean. First its a chilling warning from the Captain of the deep, Davy Jones; in one of the most stunning effects I’ve ever seen. A thin veil of mist flows down to reveal the image of this barnacled-cephalopod buccaneer. Notice how he says “ Proceed..” Nothing special, I just love how he says it :p From the scenes of the Mercado “we wants the red ‘ead!”, to the hilarious chase scenes (one involving chicken noises), to the 3 serenading pirates and their horse, to the hairy legged pirate drinking rum on the side of the bridge, this is one ride you won’t soon forget. Keep an eye out for Cap’n Jack Sparrow. He be stirrin’ trouble somewheres...

The giftshop is loaded with Pirate paraphernalia! Go shop me hearties yo ho!
