Splash Mountain -Walt Disney World

This is a favorite, especially in the summertime.  The nice thing about this ride other than the ride itself -- the line is almost exclusively in the shade of the mountain!  In August or September that's a blessing. This one is very popular and lines in peak season can go as long as 150 minutes so Fast Pass is a good one to save this for.


You get into boats and float through this one ending in the huge drop you see at the top.  The second and third photos are inside the Mountain and depict the characters and scenery from the Disney film "Song of the South".  You'll float through the entire mountain and come out on top where you take the big plunge.  It's awesome and the kids love it.  So get nice and wet but chase this one down as soon as you can as it's at the far end of the park across from Tom Sawyer's Island.


NOTE:  Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, located right next to Splash Mountain, is closed for renovations.  It should reopen in a few months.
