DisneyDining Disney Dining Plan and Reviews

There is no limit to the magical experiences Guests can have at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. That’s because there are so many shows and attractions at the four theme parks, that Guests have a difficult time ever getting bored. And one way that Disney keeps the magic going is by updating attractions from time to time. And ...

1) The Maelstrom at EPCOT, 1988 – 2014 The Maelstrom attraction was housed inside the Norway pavilion on the World Showcase at EPCOT from its maiden voyage in 1988 to its farewell voyage in 2014. It was an exciting ride aboard a Norwegian Viking vessel. It also gave Guests an interesting look at Norwegian mythology. The dark ride included a ...

2) Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride at Magic Kingdom, 1971 – 1998 This dark ride was based on Disney’s 1949 release of The Wind in the Willows. The ride was set apart from others by the fact that it operated on two separate tracks. Because the tracks were separate, Guests were offered two different rides within the attraction. On October 22, ...

3) Pizza Planet at Hollywood Studios, 1995 – 2016 This fun family pizza joint was the perfect place for pizza lovers and Toy Story fans. Its menu consisted mostly of pizzas and salad, and it closely resembled the Pizza Planet restaurant from the hit film. After you ate, you could enjoy two floors of arcade games. It was surreal to ...

4) The original Journey Into Imagination at EPCOT, 1983 – 1998 You can still experience the Journey Into Imagination attraction at EPCOT, but diehard Disney World fans remember the original version of the attraction, which was very different from the current version. (And we really kind of miss the original.) The original version was a 14-minute ride aboard an omnimover ...

5) Body Wars at EPCOT, 1989 – 2007 As with most attractions at Walt Disney World, this one had a backstory, a premise, if you will. Guests boarded the Bravo 229 Probe Ship—a “body probe vehicle,” then shrank to microscopic size and entered under the skin of the body of a complete stranger. Sounds odd at best and a little ...

6) Kitchen Kabaret at EPCOT, 1982 – 1994 The Kitchen Kabaret was a musical comedy about healthy eating habits. It was housed in The Land pavilion at EPCOT. The show consisted of 5 acts and a finale. It was hosted by Miss Bonnie Appetite and featured such audio-animatronic cast members as the Cereal Sisters, the Fiesta Fruit and the Boogie ...

7) Talking Mickey at Magic Kingdom (he’s still there, but his voice isn’t) Until recent weeks, Guests could meet the Main Mouse himself at Town Square Theater at Magic Kingdom—and you still can, but not like you could only a short while ago. The Town Square Mickey Mouse was the only Mickey who conversed with Guests. You’ll notice all over ...

8) 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea This huge attraction was based on the 1870 novel of the same name by author Jules Verne. During this 10-minute submarine ride, Guests rode through an enormous 11.5-million-gallon manmade lagoon. There were 12 submarines in the ride’s fleet. The attraction was one of the largest and most expensive ones to ever be built by ...

9) Main Street Electrical Parade at Magic Kingdom, 1977 – 1991, 1999 – 2001, 2010 – 2016 Magic Kingdom’s nighttime spectacular was a hit with Guests along Main Street U.S.A. for a combined total of over 22 years. The Main Street Electrical Parade took place each night at Magic Kingdom (weather permitting), and the amazing production featured over 80 live ...
