The biggest selling point would have to be that it isn't all roller coaster. It's the perfect first roller coaster for kids and the ideal way to get them ready for coasters like Big Thunder and Space Mountain. The Seven Dwarf Mine Train plummets down one of its drops. It doesn't go all that fast and the ride is over with before you know it, clocking in at just under one minute. However, despite the awesome Disney theming, the Barnstormer is kind of like a carnival roller coaster. The Barnstormer is technically a coaster and it's about as tame as you can get. Some may argue that Goofy's Barnstormer is the perfect first Disney roller coaster for the young ones and I can't really argue with that. Was it worth the wait? Let's find out with my Top 5 reasons to love the Magic Kingdom's Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Let's not forget it was almost two years after Ariel, Gaston, and Belle moved in to Fantasyland that the Seven Dwarfs officially opened in May 2014. I always thought it was an unusual move to leave this major piece of the new expansion unfinished until the end. The glimmer of hope was this huge tract of land in the middle of Fantasyland that we watched grow and morph into the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Despite being a little dark and scary for the little ones, we considered this a Magic Kingdom classic and hoped it would be around forever. We weren't all that happy about the fact that Snow White's Scary Adventures closed down. I can remember back in 2012 when the first wave of New Fantasyland opened with Under the Sea and the Beauty and the Beast themed areas, you could see the groundwork being laid for the new Seven Dwarfs attraction. One of those favorites is relatively new to Walt Disney World: the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train in the Magic Kingdom's Fantasyland. Aside from the new stuff, as always, much time will be spent enjoying the classics that we have grown to love over the years. We had our appetites whetted this past fall, but since that trip, Rise of the Resistance has opened and we can't wait to take that journey and make our Star Wars universes complete. If they do choose Walt Disney World, we will definitely be spending some serious time in Galaxy's Edge. Of course, I'm secretly pulling for Disney, but it will be their choice and as long as we're all together as a family, all will be right in our world. I can't complain about that particular choice, but I'm wondering whether or not the boys will say, "Disney, please," if we offer them the same choice before they head away to school in the fall. ![]() When their older sister graduated a few years back, we wanted to take her on a trip that summer before she went away to college. This spring our twin boys will graduate high school. There's no better feeling than knowing you've got your next Disney vacation booked and you've got something big to look forward to. The summer discounts have been released and they've got me thinking it might be a good idea to put something on hold. It's only been about 5 months since I've been to Walt Disney World but I have to admit, I'm getting a little antsy already to head back. ![]()
