Splash Mountain at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom is a great thrill ride that's good for all ages. It's fashioned after the 1960's film "Song of the South" featuring the adventures of Brer Rabbit and Brer Bear. The ride is a water experience so plan on getting wet.
You'll climb to the top of the mountain and get into log boats where you ride through the mountain and into the world of the briar patch where you recognize all the characters from the iconic movie. I believe there's a height requirement for this one and may not be best for kids under 5 but they can guide you when you arrive. The ride lasts about 5 minutes and culminates at the top of the mountain where you plunge down the mountain at break neck speed.
I did my best to get good pictures but the boats move through limited lighting and it's hard to focus on any one thing so I did my best. (I'm a writer - not a photographer). We enjoy this ride because the animation and details are as exquisite on this attraction as on all the Disney rides and you'll love it. Although most of the ride is a boat ride you are excited because you know what's coming at the end so it makes the whole thing interesting.
As you come down the mountain at the end you will get
very wet so brace yourself! It's an awesome feeling in the hot Florida summer and a cold shock in the winter months. Your boat will be photographed on the way down which is fun because you get to see every body's unrehearsed reactions to the big fall. It's usually hilarious and makes a great keep sake photo to take home with you. Have fun!
