57 Disney World Rides and Attractions, Ranked From Best to Worst

"A beloved Magic Kingdom Omnimover attraction where "grim, grinning ghosts come out to socialize," employing a number of old-school illusions and a catchy theme song that guests "won't be able to stop humming." The slow-moving buggies, retro-style presentation, and perennial repeatability make it a classic that's fun for all ages." - Elizabeth Rhodes Elizabeth Rhodes Elizabeth Rhodes is a senior editor at Travel + Leisure, covering everything from luxury hotels to theme parks to must-pack travel products.

Everything to Know About Halloween at Disneyland in 2023

"A long-running seasonal tradition transforms the classic doom-buggy dark ride with characters from Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, including Jack and Sally; each year guests can spot a newly designed haunted gingerbread house in the ballroom scene as the ride blends spooky and whimsical holiday elements." - Carly Caramanna Carly Caramanna Carly Caramanna is a theme park and travel journalist who has spent her professional career in New York City, Nashville, and Los Angeles.

The Best Things to Do at Disney World: The Rides and Beyond | Condé Nast Traveler

"Enter the Haunted Mansion, a Gothic revival-style manor at the back of Liberty Square in Magic Kingdom, and board a “doom buggy” for a tour of the 999 haunts that reside within. The gravestones that line the queue are delightfully punny, but our favorite element of the Haunted Mansion is the small pet cemetery to your left as you exit. Peer to the back to see a small stone statue of J. Thaddeus Toad—a nod to Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, one of the park’s former attractions. Try to hit the Haunted Mansion early or late in the day for the lowest wait time." - Valerie Marino

Haunted Mansion at Disney's Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World Resort, Orlando, Florida, United States - Theme Park Review | Condé Nast Traveler

"Set the scene for us: what's this attraction all about? Enter the Haunted Mansion, a Gothic revival-style manor at the back of Liberty Square in Magic Kingdom, and board a “doom buggy” for a tour of the 999 haunts that reside within. Fun! Any standout features or must-sees? The gravestones that line the queue are delightfully punny, but our favorite element of the Haunted Mansion is the small pet cemetery to your left as you exit. Peer to the back to see a small stone statue of J. Thaddeus Toad—a nod to Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, one of the park’s former attractions. How accessible is it? Guests with mobility issues are guided to a separate entrance and unfortunately miss the parlor scene. Noted. Anything else we should keep in mind as we plan our visit? Little kids are often frightened at first, particularly when the room plunges into complete darkness. There aren’t any gory scenes, but the ride is dark and some ghosts pop out in a graveyard scene. Try to hit the Haunted Mansion early or late in the day for the lowest wait time. The entrance is near the Hall of Presidents and Liberty Belle Riverboat, which unloads hundreds of park guests, many of whom head straight to the Haunted Mansion." - Valerie Marino

Haunted Mansion is an absolute Disney classic and one of the best-themed rides in Magic Kingdom. The second you step inside, the atmosphere takes over creepy, funny, mysterious, and full of those iconic Disney details that make you want to look everywhere at once. The stretching room, the floating candelabras, the ghostly ballroom… every scene feels like its own little spooky masterpiece. The ride itself is smooth and filled with clever effects that still hold up no matter how many times you’ve ridden it. The ghosts are playful, the narration is iconic, and the entire experience strikes the perfect balance between spooky and fun. It’s not scary, just delightfully eerie in the most charming way. Whether you’re a first-time guest or a long-time fan, Haunted Mansion is a must-do. A hauntingly magical ride that never gets old!

The attraction was okay, but not worth the long wait. We waited over an hour, which really took away from the experience. The attraction itself felt below average, and the bugs around didn’t help. The Lightning Pass system was confusing and seemed to prioritize those users, making the regular line feel even slower. Overall, it wasn’t terrible, but definitely not something I’d rush to do again.

Excellent classic ride. It’ll never lose its nostalgia. From airborne Medusa heads to ghosts dancing in a century old saloon, it makes you feel like you’re in an actual haunted house. Don’t miss this one if you’re spending a day at MK. Some small children may seriously be spooked, so just keep that in mind.

This is one of the opening day attractions at Disneys Magic Kingdom. It’s a never miss ride we try to always go on. The 999 happy haunts will make your day :) Even though it’s a 50 year old attraction it still has an amazing following. If the lines get long, wait until a parade starts or go on at closing of the park.

The Haunted Mansion is an essential ride in Magic Kingdom, especially for people who enjoyed the movie but the best time to go is probably around Halloween. The queue line has a spooky walkthrough show and the ride is slow but there are plenty of ghosts throughout to make up for it. Even the line has grave sites, a ghost horse with a biggie, etc. to look at while you wait.

The ride is filled with creative special effects, from the ghostly apparitions to the clever illusions, all done in a playful and entertaining way. It’s not too scary, making it great for families, and it perfectly blends Disney’s magic with a touch of mystery.

A masterpiece of eerie elegance! From the ghostly hosts to the spellbinding effects, every detail oozes dark charm. It’s not terrifying, but deliciously spooky — a perfect blend of whimsy and the macabre. A must-see for any adventurer with a taste for the supernatural.

This ride holds a special place in my heart—not only have I been riding it since I was a kid, but I also proposed to my now-wife right in front of the mansion! 🖤 Such an unforgettable memory tied to a true Disney classic. The theming, atmosphere, and spookiness are all perfect. This is without a doubt a must-ride attraction every time.
