11 – Country Bear Jamboree another classic attraction, we love grabbing a seat for the jamboree and seeing all of the acts, no matter how many times we have seen it.  You’ll never have to wait longer than one show to be able to get in and guests who need a snack can grab a Dole Whip from Aloha Isle (on the other side of the Adventureland

10 – Tom Sawyer’s Island guests are apt to skip this attraction because it requires you to wait for a ferry to take you across the Rivers of America to get there.  However, once you are there, there is boundless fun to be had on the island.  Explore the buildings, grab a rocker near Aunt Polly’s Snackstand or traverse a floating bridge or

9 – Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade even though this attraction costs one dollar, we love grabbing a rifle and shooting at the targets in the Western scene.  It can be a great way to get out of the sun and have a little fun at the same time!  We have never had a problem grabbing a spot when at the parks as most guests walk right by the attra

4 – Pete’s Silly Sideshow Until a year ago, we knew what existed at this location, but never ventured inside.  Guests are able to meet four characters at this location and we were AMAZED by the short wait time when we visited – only about 20 minutes total for all four characters (Goofy, Donald, Minnie, and Daisy).  The entrance to the exp

Laugh Floor also located in Tomorrowland, this interactive comedy show is definitely worth the wait (which is always short)!  Guests participate in this show starring various monsters from Monsters, Inc.!  Rather than screams, guests fuel the city with their laughter coaxed out by a variety of monster comedians.  You’ll

2 – Carousel of Progress  one of the few attractions that Walt Disney’s fingerprints are still on, this attraction is a personal favorite.  Guests are able to sit down in air-conditioning as the attraction takes us on a tour of progress throughout the twentieth century.  Critics argue for a revamp to update the attraction, but most guest’
