When it comes to iconic Disney World rides, Magic Kingdom is THE place to be.

Let’s face it — Magic Kingdom was the first EVER Disney World park, so the classic rides that remain are just timeless. Sure, TRON Lightcycle / Run is thrilling and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure still has that new smell, but is anything more fun than riding Space Mountain in Tomorrowland (okay, if you’re older, maybe “fun” isn’t the right word…but we’ll get to that). However, we’ve got a new set of rules that we think Space Mountain needs.

Wear shorts under skirts

Learn from our mistakes. Getting in and out of those Space Mountain ride vehicles can be downright embarrassing if you’re wearing a skirt. We HIGHLY recommend wearing some shorts or slipshorts under skirts, no matter their length. If you’ve ever had to step out of a Space Mountain vehicle in a skirt, you get where we’re coming from.

So instead of possibly flashing those waiting for the next ride, just do yourself a favor and save yourself from that embarrassment.

You better be prepared to walk

Okay, so you’ve somehow managed to get OUT of those ride vehicles (it’s even awkward in pants) and you’re ready to exit the ride. Well, it’s a LOOOOOOONNNNGGG  hike to leave the ride. You thought the walk ONTO the ride was long, the walk after feels like it takes forever.

Honestly, we’re always just SO happy to see the gift shop at the exit because we know we’re finally ALMOST back out into Tomorrowland.

You must sign a waiver for your back adjustment

Okay, this might just be us getting older, but Space Mountain will literally shake every bone loose in your back and you’re basically getting the equivalent of a free chiropractic adjustment. You don’t even have to fill out your insurance information.

No, seriously, our back hurts just thinking about this ride. We usually regret it after we ride it EVERY single time. But will we deny that free chiropractic care? Nope! So there should be a waiver…you know, just in case.

7 Rides Disney World Pros SKIP in Magic Kingdom

Don’t play in the ball pit

Disney straight up put a ball pit inside Space Mountain’s exit and yet it’s forbidden to jump in it or play in it. We can imagine a lot of kids crying because they can’t go in the cool spacey ball pit that isn’t really a ball pit.

Okay, so we get it. This is all part of Space Mountain’s retro-futuristic decor and ball pits were probably not popular when the ride was built, but still…

BEWARE of the Loading Zone on These Two Disney World Rides

You have to complain that the other Space Mountain is better

Are you really a Disney adult if you haven’t been on at least TWO versions of Space Mountain? Well, if you have, you’ll probably understand that the one in Magic Kingdom is the lesser of pretty much all of them. For us, we’ll be sure to let everyone in our group know that this Space Mountain is okay, but the one in Disneyland is WAY better.

So, yes, we make ourselves ride the inferior back cracking version of Space Mountain while we complain about how the one on the West Coast is way better (but, y’all, it really is). If you’ve been on Hyperspace Mountain in Disneyland Paris? Well, there’s no contest.
