Will he succeed in time, or will a giant boulder leave you feeling rather crushed?

4. Star Tours – the Adventures Continue

Star Tours – the Adventures Continue Travel at light speed to galaxies beyond with Star Tours, inspired by the famous Star Wars film series.

6. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Get ready to take on “the wildest ride in the wilderness” when you board a runaway mine train in the Old West.

7. Pirates of the Caribbean

Pirates of the Caribbean Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life for me! Experience the classic ride that inspired the movie series and has even been updated to include a hunt for the elusive Jack Sparrow himself. As you sail from cavern to cavern, you’ll find that the rum flows freely, while the cool, misty waterways also provide the perfect refuge from a hot summer’s day. Be careful who you trust, and be sure to watch your back, though. After all, dead men tell no tales.

8. Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage

Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage Thanks to updates that have been made to this classic ride, you can now sink beneath the sea in a yellow submarine on a Finding Nemo-inspired quest. As if the undersea experience alone isn’t already enough of an adventure, this ride also provides an up-close encounter with some of your favorite characters from the movie. Will you be able to find Nemo before it’s time to return to the surface? Get on board, and find out!

9. Haunted Mansion

Haunted Mansion Board your “doom buggy” and get ready to party with ghosts at the Haunted Mansion, where the crypt goes creak, the tombstones quake, and if you’re not careful, a hitchhiking ghost might even try to follow you home! Planning your visit from late September through early January? Don’t miss the annual Haunted Mansion Holiday feature, where the ride is specially decked out for the season as inspired by the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas.

10. Jungle Cruise

Jungle Cruise They don’t call it the “world famous” Jungle Cruise for nothing, so sit back and relax while your wisecracking guide takes you on an exciting river expedition. As you travel some of the world’s most iconic waterways, you’ll encounter everything from hippos and lions to spear-wielding native tribes. No danger there, right?
