Classic, Family-Friendly Attractions

Disneyland

1 – Snow White’s Enchanted Wish

Snow White’s Enchanted Wish, in Fantasyland, has been reimagined with new magic in storytelling. Guests will celebrate this timeless fairytale with new scenes throughout the experience including a dancing figure of Snow White joining the dwarfs in their cottage as the scent of a pie baking wafts through the air. Vibrant new shadow projections show the dwarfs as they happily march off to the mine singing “Heigh Ho.” New lighting, glittering jewels and shimmering effects make the mine sparkle, and a new magic mirror casts its spell. Ultimately, Snow White awakens to joyfully ride off with her Prince into a golden sunset.

2 – Mad Tea Party

Guests join the iconic Mad Tea Party in oversized teacups, spinning under a canopy of colorful lanterns through a whimsical Wonderland party in Fantasyland.

3 – King Arthur Carrousel

Beneath the vibrant medieval tent in Fantasyland, guests can ride one of 68 regal steeds or take a seat on the chariot on King Arthur Carrousel, which has been fancifully refurbished. The carrousel was built in 1922 and was one of the original attractions when Disneyland opened in 1955. Today, it is adorned with a new parchment white canopy, topped with 14 karat gold leafing around its crown and along the canopy edges, with patterns inspired by King Arthur’s family crest. Each of the 68 ornately hand-carved wooden horses are antiques, dating back more than 90 years. The horses have been freshly repainted by hand, using 30 different colors throughout the carrousel, and no two horses are alike.

On the enchanting Peter Pan’s Flight, guests soar high over London on a pirate ship to Never Land with the help of a little pixie dust.

5 – Pirates of the Caribbean

All set on waterways: Pirates of the Caribbean is a swashbuckling cruise through the seas plagued by scoundrels; the Mark Twain Riverboat is a cruise through the Rivers of America aboard a majestic 19thcentury paddle boat, and “it’s a small world” is a whimsical canal ride and song-filled journey around the globe.

6 – Haunted Mansion

Gloomy Doom Buggies take “foolish mortals” on a spooky tour of the Haunted Mansion, an eerie house with 999 happy haunts and there is always room for one more… The ghosts have been busy updating a few elements in and around the estate. Outside they have done some remodeling with new landscaping for their dearly departed pets, representing their stories from beyond the grave, such as roses planted around Rosie the Pig and plants that resemble water lilies around the frog. Inside, a keen eye will notice a few dastardly design elements in the portrait hallway. One of the Mansion’s original portraits known as “April to December” once again graces the hallway, where a lovely young woman ages right before guests’ eyes.

7 – Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway

The family-friendly attraction Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway is the main attraction in the newly updated Mickey’s Toontown. The attraction features no age/height restriction so that families can travel together into the wacky and unpredictable cartoon worlds of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse.

13 and 14 – Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance and Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run

On the planet of Batuu at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is an ambitious, advanced, and immersive attraction. Guests board a full-size transport shuttle before they are captured by a Star Destroyer and find themselves in the middle of a climactic battle between the dark side of the First Order and the light side of the Resistance, including BB-8 and Rey. The harrowing adventure blurs the lines between fantasy and reality on a scale never seen before in a Disney attraction. Adventurers can also embark on a thrilling interactive mission on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, where every role – pilot, engineer, and gunner – is crucial in this daring flight.

15 – Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

Conquering mountains in Disneyland, explorers will find thrills through a haunted gold mine on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and a race through the cosmos in the dark on Space Mountain.
