It's SO exciting, even if you aren't die hard Star Wars Universe fans, as we are. I don't want to add spoilers for those who have yet to experience it, but I do want to add that it has EvErYtHiNg you could want. The cast members really heighten the whole experience and it is total immersion into the world of Star Wars. Be prepared to play along, as there are many parts to it, like a story or being in a movie scene. Sooooo very cool, it's legit space fun! Don't deprive yourself of the fun here, it's totally worth it-a solid Disney brand experience. Yay! *Expert tip: go single rider if you want to skip a long line. We do! Thanks for following me-happy summer yelping! ~Tami in Miami

Living with the Land at EPCOT is one of my personal favorites, and it has been since it first…read moreopened decades ago. I can't explain why I love it so much, but I do. It never gets old either, especially with the tour of the ever-changing greenhouse which is the best part of the ride by a mile. In fact, my family has lovingly called the ride "The History of Vegetables" for a long time (and it still makes us giggle). Living With the Land is educational but also fun. If you're a gardener, you're going to love it. The ride takes you through greenhouses and experimental farms, showing off innovative agricultural techniques and sustainable farming practices. You get to see everything from hydroponic vegetables and towering tomato plants to aquaponics systems where fish and plants coexist. It's fascinating to watch how Disney combines science, technology, and creativity to grow food, and it really makes you think about where your own meals come from. Supposedly restaurants throughout the park serve items that are grown in the greenhouse, but I find that claim suspect. Still, I always find myself wanting to hop out of the boat and pick one of the super red tomatoes and yummy looking organic lettuces that are growing (don't do it or you'll get banned from the park)! The set design and narration are classic Disney and the ride pace is calm, which makes it a perfect mid-day break or a way to escape the Florida heat. There's rarely a line, and I wouldn't wait more than 15 minutes for this one (just come back later if it's super popular). The ride is definitely better during the daylight hours because you can see a lot more of the greenhouse. It's lit at night, but more difficult to see all the plants that are growing. Most of our friends think we are nuts for loving this ride as much as we do, but I swear we ride it at least 3 times a day whenever we visit Disney World.

This is a pretty cool ride. Very chill for those who aren't into the action-packed rides…read more I feel like I learned a lot and felt inspired and hopeful for the future! It was also cool to see the cast members working in the gardens (?) in such a respectful manner. I didn't have to wait in line at all earlier in the morning and it's a great place to get out of sun for a while.

Under the Sea ~ Journey of the Little Mermaid is OK. Ariel looks weird, mainly in the face…read more While I still enjoyed this ride and thought it was fun, the overall quality of the animatronics was a step below most other rides at Disney World. I thought maybe that was because this ride opened around the same time as the movie in 1989. However, I was a bit surprised to learn after the fact that this ride actually opened 23 years after the movie, in late 2012. On the ride, you board clamshells that take you on an adventure under the sea. Pretty much all the characters from the movie make an appearance and the ride is filled with Alan Menken and Howard Ashman's popular songs like "Part of Your World," "Under the Sea," "Poor Unfortunate Souls," and "Kiss the Girl." The "Under the Sea" song and dance segment is bright and colorful. It reminds me of going to E.T.'s planet in the E.T. Adventure ride at Universal Studios. It's a festive party; both rides have that neon-colored, crowded "creature party" aesthetic. During our visit, the animatronic Ariel in this section was broken and inanimate. Kind of funny and creepy. During the "Kiss the Girl" segment, the plastic water coming out of the fishes' mouths didn't look great. It added to the overall sort of "knock-off" and kitschy look of the ride. Also, right before the end of the final scene with King Triton and the wedding of Ariel and Eric, the ride stopped on us. So, I was able to get a good, long look at the different animatronics and scenery. Finally, I thought the transitions between the high-quality video and the actual practical physical ride props were a bit jarring. Other rides do it better like, for example, the Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros at EPCOT. We had Lightning Lane passes at around 1:47 PM on a non-holiday Monday and experienced no line and no wait.

If you're a Little Mermaid fan, or you have little kids, than this is your ride! This attraction is…read morelocated in Fantasyland and takes you through the Little Mermaid movie. It is a slow moving ride that goes on a flat track and will move your clamshell 365 degrees, as well as going backwards and tipping backwards as well. It does not spin fast and as someone who gets motion sickness, you should be fine. The seat has a lap bar for the entire row and is not comfortable at all. It is a very hard bench. I find this ride becoming more of a favorite probably since it is super cute and the line is never very long. The line can get long at times, but I recommend waiting until the wait drops below 20 minutes. The line starts outside which has little shade and is very hot in the summer, but then moves inside, where the majority of the line is. Inside it is covered and much cooler. It is actually really dark inside and my eyes always have to adjust. This ride is very colorful, very musical and very fun. If you know this movie, you are going through the story quickly. There are a few dark areas throughout the ride as well as a couple of loud parts. This rides also "stops" as well. There is not a time we have been on this that it did not have a stop for a a minute or so. This ride is designed for children, however, as an adult, it is becoming a favorite of mine. It is nice long ride, that you can sit and relax. This is a must go in the summer for us! Cool, AC, sitting down, sign me up! I would recommend this ride but only when the line is 20 minutes or less. Otherwise, wait and come back later.

WHAM! Thank you, Harry, for letting us experience the world of Hagrid. I get motion sickness, but thankfully not on most traditional roller coasters that just go forward. This one does launch backward at one point, though, and that's when my stomach briefly said easy. As for the storyline... I'm honestly not sure what Hagrid had us doing. I think we delivered his DoorDash order, encountered a few magical creatures, and then accidentally fell through the floor on the way home. Whatever the mission was, it was fast and fun. Even though I had no clue what our objective was. Just be prepared for that backward launch if you're prone to motion sickness!

So getting to experience it with my daughter was extra special--and the fact that she loved it just as much made it even better. We actually rode it twice! She was completely fascinated by all of the different characters, costumes, music, and representations of different countries. She kept asking me which country everyone was from (and listen...Mama did NOT know all of them ), but I loved watching her take it all in. And that song? Yeah...we are still singing it DAYS later. This is also such a great ride when you need a break from the heat and walking. It's calm, relaxing, air-conditioned, and you can just sit back and enjoy the beautiful scenes as you travel through the different regions of the world. As an adult, I appreciated the message of unity and togetherness even more than I did as a child. And seeing my daughter experience that same sense of wonder made it even more magical. Definitely one of my must-do Disney rides.
