The Sailing Ship Columbia is one of the most genuinely surprising experiences in Disneyland if you have never explored it properly. Most guests stay on the upper decks and watch the Rivers of America scenery, which is lovely.

More Rides You'll Love

Pirates of the Caribbean

Low4.8 / 5

Pirates of the Caribbean is the original Disney dark ride masterpiece — the one that set the template for everything that followed. Walt Disney himself oversaw its creation, and it opened in 1967 as the last attraction he personally supervised. You drift through moonlit bayous and into a chaotic port town under siege by buccaneers.

Haunted Mansion

Low4.8 / 5

Haunted Mansion is the quintessential Disney dark ride — spooky, witty, and endlessly detailed. You board a Doom Buggy for a guided tour through a grand manor populated by 999 happy haunts. The Disneyland version is the longest Haunted Mansion in any Disney park worldwide, with a unique outdoor section through the New Orleans bayou.

Jungle Cruise

Low4.4 / 5

Jungle Cruise is Disneyland's original opening-day comedy boat ride — a live skipper-led river tour past animatronic wildlife where the puns are the point. No height requirement, no Lightning Lane, and one of the best morning rides in Adventureland when paired with Indiana Jones.
