Our tips:

- Do the fairy-tale rides one after another
Pinocchio's Daring Journey
Pinocchio's Daring Journey takes you into the world of the wooden puppet who dreams of becoming a real boy. You board a woodcarver's cart at Stromboli's puppet theatre.
The concept
The ride is based on Disney's 1940 animated film Pinocchio. The film is known, among other things, for the song "When You Wish Upon a Star". You follow Pinocchio through the best-known moments of the story. The Blue Fairy helps him and Jiminy Cricket warns him as a loyal friend.
The Experience
In the puppet theatre, Pinocchio sings and dances in a cheerful marionette show. With the Blue Fairy's help, he escapes from puppeteer Stromboli. Against Jiminy Cricket's advice, he heads to the ominous Pleasure Island. When they flee to sea, the enormous whale Monstro is waiting. Will Pinocchio find his way back to Geppetto?

Listen to the music
"When You Wish Upon a Star" from the film won an Oscar for Best Original Song in 1940. It later became Disney's unofficial theme song.
Suitable for the whole family
There's no minimum height, so everyone can ride. Some scenes, such as the one with Monstro, are a little scary, though.
Do the fairy-tale rides one after another
Pinocchio's Daring Journey is in Fantasyland, just like Snow White's Enchanted Wish and Peter Pan's Flight. That way you can turn it into a fairy-tale morning.
Visitor information
There is no minimum height. Children under 7 must be accompanied by someone aged 14 or over. Wheelchair users must transfer; a transfer vehicle is available. There is no Lightning Lane for this ride: everyone queues in the standard line. The ride may close temporarily during fireworks shows.
A wish come true
Pinocchio's Daring Journey is an atmospheric ride for anyone who loves the classic Disney films. Fit it in when you're in Fantasyland: that way you'll have seen the big fairy tales in a single morning.
