Seven Dwarfs Mine Train

Magic Kingdom · About 3 minutes · Lightning Lane Single Pass $10-$18

A smooth family coaster with swinging cars and a fun trip through the dwarfs' mine, and it's the right first coaster for most kids (38 inches). The line gets long fast, so ride it during Early Entry or buy the Single Pass.

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

Magic Kingdom · About 4 minutes · Included with admission; Lightning Lane Multi Pass eligible

It reopened in May 2026 after a long refurbishment with new track and effects, and the height requirement dropped to 38 inches. It's the best family thrill ride in the park, and I love it after dark.

Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin

Magic Kingdom · About 5 minutes · Included with admission; Lightning Lane Multi Pass eligible

It reopened in 2026 with new blasters and targets, and it's a competitive one if your family keeps score. No height requirement, and kids love it.
