Attractions
Pirates of the Caribbean– This classic Disney attraction takes guests on a slow-moving water ride that explore what a pirate’s life might have looked like. As guests journey through the attraction they might find themselves singing along to the classic tune “A Pirate’s Life for Me”. Several audio-animatronics adorn the attraction, and newer scenes featuring Captain Jack Sparrow and “Redd” the pirate entertain guests of all ages.
Jungle Cruise– Another classic attraction that originally debuted in Disneyland is Jungle Cruise. Jungle Cruise is an attraction that is made famous by its skippers who crack jokes throughout the tour.
The Magic Carpets of Aladdin– Guests can take flight upon a magic carpet for this attraction and soar either high or low. This attraction is great for guests of all ages and heights.
Swiss Family Treehouse– This unique walkthrough attraction takes guests through a model of the Swiss Family treehouse from the classic Disney film: Swiss Family Robinson. Guests will climb stairs and explore the various rooms of the treehouse. Guests must be able to ascend several sets of stairs for this experience.
Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room– Walt Disney himself designed the Enchanted Tiki Room show. Audio-animatronic birds, the first of their kind, sing happy tunes during this show. The show remains original to the show that debuted in 1971 making it one of the oldest attractions in the park.
