I went to the Magic Kingdom just this past week. I found that the less thrilling rides were the most fun to me. I completely avoided Splash Mountain and Thunder Mountain, while I only got to ride Space Mountain once (because I got a fast pass~). The rides meant for children seemed too frightening in my opinion. For example, in the Peter Pan, Winnie the Pooh, and Snow White rides, you're in complete darkness almost the entire time and can hear children screaming around you. (I think these were partially meant to scare, but Disney shouldn't be THIS scary for little kids). These were actually my favorite rides, though, as well as the transit in Tomorrowland. It's a 10-minute ride around Tomorrowland and is very relaxing. Disney has hyped up the new Pirates of the Caribbean ride with all the news that Jack Sparrow and Cap. Barbossa have been added. Don't be misled to believe it's a cool, new ride; it's not. The only differences are Jack Sparrow popping out of barrels in random places, and Barbossa standing on a ship. The food was expensive, but I was more than happy to eat with Pinocchio while waving at the boats passing by on the "it's a small world" ride. My biggest complaint is that the rides need to be updated. Many haven't been updated in SO many years it's painfully obvious.
Pros: Children rides are still appealing to me
Cons: Long lines, crowded
