For #1:

And now for number 1️⃣, the most popular ride among the FTJ agents...Haunted Mansion!

Welcome Foolish Mortals! You'll go on a tour lead by your ghost host through an eerie haunted estate, home to ghosts, ghouls and supernatural surprises.

While on your ride, you'll see Madame Leota’s chilling séance room, a piano being played by a ghost, books moving on the shelves, hitchhikers and a ballroom filled with, you guessed it, ghosts!! 👻

Foolish Mortals of all ages can ride this. There are frightening scenes but no gore and the ghosts are friendly.

Fun Fact: The cemetery outside is full of Easter Eggs - Mr. Toad has a tombstone in the pet cemetery!

Going 🆙?!

Coming in at number 2️⃣ the infamous Hollywood Tower of Terror. This attraction is based on the popular television series which originally aired from 1959 to 1964.

💀On a gloomy Halloween night in 1939, some hotel patrons were riding the elevator when a violent storm struck the building… and they were never seen again. The hotel closed down and has stood empty ever since

🏨Once you step uneasily inside the hotel, you’ll find a lobby frozen in time. Even the hotel staff seem strangely out of another era…

😱Enter the elevator lift if you dare..and shriek in terror as you’re suddenly propelled up and down the abandoned shaft—unexpectedly dropping and rising.

Will you make it back to the real world… or will you become a permanent resident of the Twilight Zone?

🏔 Time to link to an Avatar and fly through the mountains of Pandora atop a Banshee!

Coming in at number 3️⃣ is Flight of Passage!

You start by walking through the old RDA mining facility, that is now being used by Pandora’s Conservation Initiative’s team. You’ll be decontaminated, and then they’ll match your DNA to that of an Avatar. Once linked, you will head into the link chair room and link up with an Avatar that is already in flight on a banshee.

🎥 Based on the Avatar movie, with more to come in the future. You can experience Pandora like you’ve never seen before!

🎡 This is a 3D simulator ride located in Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Pandora. It is a must do attraction for many.

Yo ho, Yo ho, a Pirates Life for Me. 🏴‍☠️
Up at Number 4️⃣...Pirates of the Caribbean.

Board your very own boat and steer a course for the Golden Age of Piracy on a swashbuckling cruise through seas plagued by scoundrels.

🔥 Witness cannon fire between the fort and a 12-gun galleon. Glide into port and behold brazen buccaneers drunk on pillaged plunder and setting the town afire.

It's not all sword fights and cannon fire. You'll be able to sing along to your favorite Pirate shanty and be on the lookout for Captain Jack Sparrow along the way!

Did you know that the ride inspired the Pirates of the Caribbean movies? Once the movies became popular, Disney started incorporating parts of the movie into the ride.

Climb aboard a runaway railway and embark on a whirlwind ride through a world where the rules of physics don’t apply. Prepare for unexpected twists, slapstick gags and mind-boggling transformations at every turn, as Mickey and Minnie try to save the day.

🎬 Based on the recent award-winning Mickey Mouse cartoon shorts, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is the first ride at any Disney park that stars Mickey Mouse and friends.

🎡Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is located in the iconic Chinese Theatre, which was formerly home to The Great Movie Ride. Inside the attraction there is a nod to the former resident of the Chinese Theater — in the carnival scene look for a poster for the “Great Moving Ride.”

Number 1️⃣0️⃣ is Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. It's a fast roller coaster-type attraction that brings you into an abandoned mine shaft.

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train AKA “7DMT” has remained one of the most popular rides at the Magic Kingdom since it’s debut in 2014!

Fun Fact Friday!

Today I'll be giving you some facts about one of the newer and cutest (in my opinion) roller coaster ride at Disney World - Seven Dwarves Mine Train!

This ride opened in 2014 in the heart of Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom.

With the little space the Imagineers had and wanting a ride that little kids could enjoy, they came up with series of interconnected coaster carts and designed minecarts so that each individual cart sways from side to side.

You'll also notice that each cart has a different design to looked aged and worn. They aged the bolts and finishings to make them look like they were used in old mines.

To make it realistic, they also made the ride a little bit bumpy since you are riding through a mine after all!

The attention to detail on this ride is like no other! One of my favorite parts is when you're riding through the mine. Here, you'll see a "million diamonds" 💎 You will notice that there are three different sizes of gems, and then they appear in six different colors. The colors that you will see are yellow, purple, green, blue, red, and clear (diamond).
