The presentation lasts about 15 minutes and you get to see the CEO of XSTech transport himself to DisneyWorld but, does something go wrong? Find out and see, Alien Encounter.

- Buzz Lightyears Space Ranger Spin-Come in Star Command With the part-new ride at thet Magic Kingdom, blast off with Buzz Lightyear into one of his journeys.

When the mission is done, you come back to earth and save the galixy with buzz!  Fastpass Available

- Tommorowland Transit Authority - Back in the early days of the Magic Kingdom, The WEDway people mover was a unique ride with many fans. It is now Called the People Mover or the TTA. This ride goes about 3-15 miles per hour and gives you an up close view of Tommorowland. You go right through Space Mountain,Buzz Lightyear, and the disney stores. This is also a good ride to take a break from the long lines and rest a little but with a grand tour.

- Carousel of Progress

- Astro Orbiter -  Would you like to fly your own mini space ship? Astro Orbiter can let you do that. You fly for two minutes in the sky in your orbiter. You can move up or down in the spaceship.

- Space Mountain- Space Mountain is proubably the most exciting ride at the Magic Kingdom. This ride, presented by FED-EX, lets you BLAST OFF into outer space in two, 6 seater rockets. In the waiting line, you can see many different stars,galixys, and planets that they say you will see on your outer space journey. When you exit the space tunnel, you then enter the main line, which you can choose either the right line or the left. Each line has its own track for the ride. I believe that Disney made them the same length but the right track seems longer. Now get ready for an out of this galixy ride at Space Mountain.

- Skyway to Fantasyland-Closed

- Tommorowland Speedway-Tommorowland Speedway Do you think that your Jeff Gordon? Well there is a way you can find out at the Magic Kingdom. Just visit Tommorowland. If you do not know where the Speedway is, then just listen for a lot of roaring engines. From there, you will find the Tommorowland Speedway. There are two separate lines. Both take the same route on the same coure. All of the cars are seat 2 passenger and there are about 50 cars on the track at any given time. Now, all of the cars cant hit the car next to you? This is becuase there is a railing that runs under your car. Make sure you get to this ride in the early morning or after it rains, becuase there is no one on the ride. Tommorowland Speedway- Magic Kingdom

Frontierland-

- Splash Mountain- Splash Mountain is one of the main attractions at The Magic Kingdom. You can see it from the tops of the monorail and from the Contemporary Resort. Splash Mountain is one of the most popular and oldest rides at WDW if you look at all the changes that they have made to the great world. This ride usually has long lines but it is worth the wait believe me! As you start out, you go through the mountain looking at animatrionics and the great characters such as Brer Bear and Brer Fox. During the ride, you drop about 3-4 times but not one of them is better than the main drop. The drop is 56 feet down. It is really great and if you want to get wet, request a seat in the front or if you dont want to get wet, buy a poncho which are available most anywhere in WDW.

- Tom Sawyer Island

- Country Bear Jamboree-(written by Grizzlyhall)Since October 1, 1971, the Country Bears have been entertaining guests at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom. Every day of its existence, lines would be running outside of the packed queue by the afternoon.

It is clear that this show is well-loved, and it's not suprising. It's not a stupid show like some people say...Disney wouldn't allow THAT...but rather, it's a mix of Americana and Hoedown Country straight from the Blue Ridge mountains.

Henry introduces the show, who is bugged by Buff (the sourpuss buffalo) on the wall, next to Max the stag and Melvin the Moose. Gomer, on the piano, starts the show off on the right foot...er...paw...with "Pianjo" and next the 5 Bear Rugs are introduced in their "Bear Band Serenade". These bruins are Zeke (banjo), Zeb (fiddle), Ted (corn jug), Fred (Mouth harp), and Tennessee (on the "Thing"). Next to Zeb is his young son, Oscar, who audiences will giggle at when he squeezes his teddy.

Wendell comes out next, and with Henry (making the "Hilarious Duo") sing songs as "Fractured Folk Song" and "Momma, don't whip little Buford, I think you should shoot him instead!". Eventually, a highlight (Trixie) who is not hard to miss due to her huge size, performs her rendition of "Tears" and is interuppted by those "trophies" on the wall. The Bear Band comes out with another tune, and next Terrence, the Shank Shaker.

You'll love the three Sun Bonnets (oh, so cute) her perform "All the Guys who turn me on Turn me Down", and you'll surely tap your foot along with Ernest and the Bear Band's "If ya Can't Bite Don't Growl". Get ready for Teddi Barra to come down from the celing on her flower decked swing...it's real treat to hear her sing "Heart, we did all that we could." Now, the highlight of the show - BIG AL! I promise he's the only "drunk" bear...but you'll get a kick out of him no matter HOW old you are! Henry sings the Ballad of Davy Crocket with Sammy, his Coonskin cap...and something goes wrong...you'll just have to see for yourself!

I am speaking about the original show, now. Not the vacation show which is no longer in existence. You can see the Christmas Special...totally redone with country bear holiday tunes! This is available from after Thanksgiving to early January.

The lines from this show get HUGE in the afternoon...so I would recommend seeing the show during a parade, in the morning, or come the cool evening.
Either way, it's a NO-MISS show...you'll get a kick out of it!

- Big Thunder Mountain Railroad - Do you look for a thrill ride when you go to the magic kingdom??? Well to avoid the crowd take the Railway to Frontierland and from there, you will find the wildest ride in the wilderness. Yes thats right, Thunder Mountain Railroad. Just like Space mountain, there are two different tracks. The left is more popular becuase it is always open and the right is open when there is a large crowd attendence. For good luck, while you are waiting in line, if you look out into the canyon, you will see millions of coins. Now back to the ride. Such rides like splash mountain take you up high and then you drop. Well Thunder Mountain does the same, but does it drop??? Well you will have to see for yourself. You take many twists and turns and go up and down.
