IF YOU THINK THAT RIDES AT DISNEYLAND ARE JUST RIDES, THINK AGAIN!  MANY ATTRACTIONS OFFER IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES AND HANDS-ON FUN FOR GUESTS OF ALL AGES!


Attractions are a BIG part of the Disneyland experience.  Sure, there is the music, shows, and food, but the attractions are what pull you straight into the magic!  In fact, the more interactive the experience, the better!  Now some of you may be wondering how a ride can be that powerful, so let me show you my picks for the 7 best interactive attractions in the Disneyland resort!

As with so many things right now, options and availability may change without notice.  Always be sure to check the Official Disneyland Website for the latest park information.

 

 

Animation Academy

Have you ever wondered how Disney animators make your favourite characters come alive on screen?  Well, they are ready to teach you!  Visit Hollywood Land in California Adventure for a lesson on drawing everyone’s favourite cartoon characters!  Your finished artwork makes a fantastic keepsake!

 

Autopia

Buckle up and hold on tight everyone, because Disneyland is giving kids their drivers’ licences a little early.  On this interactive ride, your little ones can get behind the wheel!  Watch them have the time of their lives while steering around a tracked course in Tomorrowland.  Just be wary, the pedals can be tricky to reach with little feet!

 

Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters

Help Buzz defeat his arch-nemesis,  Zurg, in this interactive space battle!  Use your blasters to hit targets and gain points as you hurtle through space.  Located in Tomorrowland, this ride is perfectly family-friendly and can bring out the competitive nature in anyone!

 

Davy Crockett’s Explorer Canoes

Do you want to know what it would be like to be a wilderness explorer?  This is your chance to get a taste of exploring!  Climb aboard one of Davy Crockett’s canoes, and take a trip down the Rivers of America.  If this sounds perfect for you, be sure to plan accordingly, as the canoes operate seasonally, in the mornings, and weather depending!

 

Toy Story Midway Mania

Jump inside of a giant video game when you ride Toy Story Midway Mania!  Located on Pixar Pier, this attraction takes you through a series of shooting games.  Whether you are shooting targets with Woody or breaking plates with the Green Army Men, everyone will love this family-friendly ride!  I’m not sure about your family, but ours gets SUPER-competitive on this attraction.

 

Turtle Talk with Crush

Everyone’s favourite turtle is ready to answer your questions!  Take your kids down to Hollywood Land and they can talk with Crush!  Take a break from the heat and watch as this surfing dude interacts with families!

 

 

Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run

Join the resistance as you hop aboard the iconic Millennium Falcon!  Work as either a pilot, gunner, or engineer and help the rebels in this interactive experience!  Head on down to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge to ride!

 

Experiencing any of these attractions will most definitely spark some magic in your heart, and make you feel even more immersed in the whole Disneyland resort experience!  

 

Of course, you’ll want to be sure you know the height requirements before you queue up to avoid any disappointment!  You can download our FREE chart using the form above.  And for even more interactive fun, take some time to search for Hidden Mickeys!
