    Default Most Beautiful Ride?

    Ok Ladies and Gents,

    What in your opinion is the most beautiful ride? Now I don't necessarily mean structural beauty, but which attraction offers you the most lovely sights?

    For example...mine would be the TTA at night because you get to see all of tomorrowland lit up and looking quite beautiful.
    We have 999 Happy Haunts here...but there's always room for a thousand.

    Splash Mountain offers a great view of the Magic Kingdom at certain parts of the ride. I especially like that curve near the top that provides a great view of the surrounding area just before the log plunges down Slippin' Falls into the "How Do You Do?" section.

    My wife says Expedition:Everest, because of the views from the lift hill.
    I say the Monorail. I know it's not really an attraction per se, but it's a ride where you can see lots of WDW. It's too bad it doesn't go all the way around WDW.

    I think Kilimanjaro Safaris is breathtaking. If the timing is right, what could be more beautiful than seeing wild animals surrounded by nature itself

    Another vote for the TTA. The TTA at dusk has a beautiful view of the castle and of the rest of Tomorrowland. It's such a pleasant ride. I haven't been on Astro Orbiter for a while, but I remember the great views at dusk and at night.

    I also like the Jungle Cruise. Just sitting in a boat riding through lush greenery is very nice.

    Finally, the views from the monorail are great. Looking at MK, EPCOT or the MK resorts from the monorail is like looking at a picture postcard.

    I would have to agree with the OP that TTA at night is amazing! We always make sure we skip TTA in the morning when we start our day in Tomorrowland, and then we head back just after sunset to ride. Its a nice break near the end of the day and the view is awesome!

    I would vote for the safari the landscaping really transports you to Africa add the real animals to the mix and it's a winning combination. Actually overall I would say AK is the most Beautiful of the parks.

    The view from Splash Mountain of the MK at night during fireworks is in my opinion the most beautiful view in WDW.
    There's a great big beautiful tomorrow

    1. boat ride from Ft Wilderness to the MK -- as you round the corner near the Contemporary, and you can see the castle and the mickey head floral arrangement in front of the Main St train station. It gives me goosebumps -- that is our first view of the MK when we first arrive

    Astro Orbiter at night gets my vote. TTA is a close second.

    Most amazing view has to be from Splash Mountain.

    Best atmosphere would be the Safari or one of the animal walks at AK.

    Best overall view at WDW - MK from the California Grill balcony at night.

    I enjoy the view from the climb up on Everest.
    Too many trips to keep track of now! Vacation WDW twice a year so any questions ask freely ☺️
