The Magic Carpets of Aladdin is a ride in Magic Kingdom, at Walt Disney World. It is based on the 1992 film, Aladdin. It is similar to the Dumbo the Flying Elephant attraction in that riders in the front rows control how high their carpets fly, and the ride lasts about 90 seconds.
Make your way into the exotic marketplace to meet Princess Jasmine and her prince, Aladdin. They'll share stories of Agrabah under the shade of a colorful awning. You can recount your own tales of adventure in another magical kingdom you may know.

Journey of Water Inspired by Moana is a new attraction coming to EPCOT at Walt Disney World in the front of the park between Spaceship Earth and World Showcase.
So EPCOT will be introducing both a new attraction and a new character meet and greet on that day. Moana will have her own dedicated space for the meet and greet, too — and we got to see some concept art of what it will look like.
Princess Jasmine has returned indoors to her Lamps of Wonder meet-and-greet location as physical distancing is lifted for characters around Walt Disney World. Lamps of Wonder is in the Morocco Pavilion at EPCOT.
Unfortunately, to the dismay of many fans, Disney announced that it would be ending Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular and the show took its final bow in January 2016. The show was replaced by Frozen – Live at the Hyperion, which premiered in May 2016.
Epcot (or “EPCOT”), formerly “EPCOT Center”—named after Walt Disney's “Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow” project—is a theme park in Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. Epcot celebrates community, culture, human achievement, new ideas, and new technologies.
In the original movie and derived productions, Agrabah is in the middle of the desert. In the live-action adaptation, its location is moved on the shore, partially filmed in the Wadi Rum Desert in Jordan.
If you're into rides more than general theme park merriment and atmosphere, we suggest skipping Epcot, as it doesn't offer as many thrills. However, families, foodies and world's fair enthusiasts will likely enjoy their time at this concept park. Featured image courtesy of Walt Disney World.
EPCOT is arguably the least family-friendly park at Walt Disney World, so you may not need more than a few hours to do everything of interest if you have small children. With that said, a full day at EPCOT is highly recommended for first-timers.
Is Epcot for kids? The short answer to whether or not Epcot is for kids is yes — the park is a great place for kids. It's not as obviously kid-friendly as theme parks such as the Magic Kingdom Park, but Epcot has both attractions and activities that are geared toward children.
The Moana water ride is an exciting addition to EPCOT. By replacing The Seas pavilion and weaving Moana's narrative into its fabric, Disney is ensuring that the park continues to capture the essence of exploration and imagination.
All of the Harmonious barges in the World Showcase lagoon at EPCOT have finally been removed, and the beautiful views are back!! Here is a multi angle video around the World Showcase during the day and evening timeframe. All the footage is from May 17th & 18th 2023 Thanks for watching!

Ariel sometimes appears in her human form.
