WHEN TO GO Before 10:30am or two hours before park close. EXPECT TO WAIT 15 to 30
minutes in the afternoon. LENGTH 3 minutes. WHERE TO SIT The common advice is to evenly
distribute weight on each side of the vehicle for less spinning. Or conversely, stick two
heavier people on one side and two lighter people on the other for more spinning. Does it
have an effect? Probably not, but it might make you feel better.

RANKING Fun for kids, skippable for everyone else. EMH No. FP+ No. TYPE Playground.
REQUIREMENTS None.
WHAT TO EXPECT The Boneyard is an elaborately themed playground aimed at young kids
and has several stories of sand pits, swings, and things to climb on. SCARY FACTOR None.
WHEN TO GO Visit with youngsters when the bigger kids are riding Primeval Whirl and

TriceraTop Spin
RANKING Fun diversion, especially with kids. EMH Morning. FP+ No. TYPE Spinning ride.
REQUIREMENTS None.
WHAT TO EXPECT Riders enter four-person dinosaur-themed vehicles with two rows of two

a circle. SCARY FACTOR Minimal. Although the ride does move up, down, and side to side,
it's geared towards young children and it shouldn't frighten anyone.

of 10 to 15 minutes are common. It's a walk-on, early and late. LENGTH 90 seconds. WHERE
TO SIT Your choice, though young kids will be asked to sit on the inside so they won't ac-
cidentally fall out. Riders in the front can reach behind and use the joystick in the back row
if there's nobody back there.
Epcot
Epcot is Walt Disney World's second most popular theme park and a quintessential part of
any theme park vacation. Most guests with older kids will want to prioritize a second day

Epcot consists of two very different pieces- Future World and World Showcase. Future
World is where you'll find the headlining rides like Soarin' and Test Track, in addition to
