At Walt Disney World and its many parks in Orlando, Florida, there are an abundant number of ways to have fun with the entire family.
From classic rides to new shows to things you can't do anywhere else in the world, Disney has plenty to keep the kids as well as the parents entertained.
Breaking it down by the three major parks and factoring in height limit restrictions for the little ones, here are the best attractions for the whole family to enjoy!
Magic Kingdom
Haunted Mansion-A must for every Disney trip, the whole family can embark on this classic thrill ride through a spooky mansion that hosts ghosts and other supernatural shocks. Get the fast pass, though, because this is a popular ride and lines will be long.
Mad Tea Party-A ride for all ages; kids and parents can spin around and around together in the Mad Hatter's teacups. However, parents with more adventurous children might want to jump in a different teacup if they can't handle the fast spins. The ride is controlled by those inside the teacup, so you can spin as fast or as slow as you want.
Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid-A new ride, you can dive deep beneath the waves and not get wet. The kids will love this quirky musical adventure and adults can feel nostalgic with these classic Disney characters.
Honorable mentions: Space Mountain (height limit 44 inches), Pirates of the Caribbean, Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress

Epcot
Frozen Ever After-This is a slower ride with some small drops, which makes it perfect for the whole family to fit together. Board an ancient Norwegian vessel and set sail in the wild world of "Frozen"!
The Seas with Nemo and Friends-Based on Disney Pixar's "Finding Nemo," go deep in the ocean and join Marlin and Dory in search for Nemo. The whole family can explore the sea together on the ride as well as real marine life afterward in the pavilion.
The Circle of Life-Watch as characters from "The Lion King," Simba, Timon and Pumbaa learn about the environment in this 20-minute film on conservation. A great way for the whole family to cool off from the hot sun and show the kids that it's important to care about our planet.
Honorable mentions: Soarin' (height limit 40 inches), Spaceship Earth, Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros
Animal Kingdom
Kilimanjaro Safaris-The true highlight of the Animal Kingdom experience, ride in an open-air vehicle and tour through the home of majestic and exotic animals such as lions, giraffes, elephants and more. This is an 18-minute guided expedition you will never forget!
Wildlife Express Train-Get a behind the scenes look at the park by jumping on board this train that travels from Harambe, Africa to Rafiki's Planet Watch. A relaxing ride that lasts seven minutes and journeys just over a mile, you will pass multiple veterinary facilities and animal housings.
Animal Exhibits-Obviously, you're at Animal Kingdom to see the animals, and all the exhibits are worth exploring. From lions to tigers to gorillas to giraffes to so many more, the whole family will love getting up close to so many animal's habitats.
