Walt Disney World can be rather scary. Regardless of how old you are, some of us have felt scared at one time or another in our lives by some Disney fantasy. The entire experience requires it. After all, if there weren't a little fear involved in the tale, the fantasy will be devoid of excitement and suspense.
However, what if you are responsible for small children? How do you plan a tour for young individuals that will not result in them being so scared that they refuse to ride or explore anything at Disney World again?
Even adults get scared at Disney World. But grown-ups possess the ability to recuperate easily, laugh it off, and continue on. Small children don't have the same capability to differentiate between what is true and what is fictitious.
Snow White's Scary Adventure
Indeed, Snow White's Scary Adventure does advertise itself as a "scary adventure." Nevertheless, this is one attraction that, like plenty of stuff in life, looks like it is actually a joyful fantasy featuring bluebirds and rainbows. Plenty of parents step into line with their little children looking forward to a pleasant sort of experience only to have their kids traumatized by what turns out to be something dark and gruesome.
Fear is one thing the Walt Disney Imagineers purposely include into the Disney experience. Fear is what helps ignite the change from reality to fantasy.
But too much fear at too young an age can be ill-advised. If your four-year-old is so spooked by the Snow White attraction that the child refuses to go on any ride that looks or starts out in a similar way, then you have a problem. The Peter Pan attraction may be one of the loveliest, mildest attractions at Disney World. But if your 4-year-old feels that it looks too much like that scary Snow White experience, Peter Pan is going to be a no-go.
Scares for Teenagers and Adults Alike
In the absence of fear "The Happiest Place on Earth" would be pretty boring. In order to move you from your everyday reality, the Imagineers have to include some gloom and terror.
It is a demonstration of the expertise of the Imagineers that they are able to build attractions that can scare both teenagers and grown-ups. Some of these attractions include: Tower of Terror, It's Tough To Be A Bug, The Great Movie Ride, Expedition Everest, Stitch's Great Escape, and probably the most terrifying of all, Dinosaur.
These attractions doubtless would be way too sinister or too violent to be enjoyed by little kids. Other attractions that likely would influence the little ones' future amusement in Disney World: Honey, I Shrunk the Audience; Haunted Mansion, Thunder Mountain, Great Movie Ride, and Bug's Life.
Take a Look at the Official Disney World Guide for Pre-Schoolers
To be able to know the attractions that are appropriate for very small kids, Disney has circulated a guide that will help you avoid attractions that could ruin your and your children's experience of Disney World. The guide will work to usher you towards the attractions that will be age-appropriate to your kid and ensure a happy, moderately spine-tingling fantasy.
It's a great idea to plan your vacation with small children by going through this guide to begin with or bringing it with you.
But a good rule is: if you're in doubt, it is probably best to skip it.
