The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is an attraction for the whole family and considered to date one of the best attractions in the world. Magic Kingdom at Disney World.
On this post
It is a relatively recent attraction, having opened in 2014.
She stays in the park Magic Kingdom and is to this day the most popular attraction in the park.
Undoubtedly, the roller coaster of the seven dwarfs is an obligatory stop for your script in the Magic Kingdom.
It's not for less. In addition to the incredible theme, it is a smooth ride and full of emotion at the same time. This combination makes Seven Dwarfs Mine Train be one of the best Magic Kingdom attractions!
The seven dwarfs roller coaster is based on the movie a Snow White.
In it you walk through the diamond mines where the seven dwarves work!
In addition, you will find state-of-the-art animatronics (as Disney's animated "robots" are called) very well made from the dwarves.
Of course, we couldn't help but show what she is like in our Youtube channel.
Don't forget to follow our channel!
Even at the end of the attraction you will see Snow White dancing in the house of the seven dwarfs with them.
By the way, stay tuned, because the evil witch is waiting for you at the door to give you the poisoned apple! PS: The Witch is right at the end of the roller coaster, keep looking to your right!
Tips to catch fewer queues
This is the attraction that concentrates the longest lines at the Magic Kingdom park so far.
However, the seven dwarfs roller coaster usually has slightly shorter lines both at the beginning and at the end of the day, so prefer those times.
The park's first opening minutes are the busiest times at the attractions.
Another alternative to take less queue is to try to go to the attraction, just before the start of the Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade or even during the closing fireworks show of the park.
Because when both the parade and the fireworks show take place, the lines for the attractions are also shorter.
This is because most park visitors will be positioned to watch these shows.
But choosing this option, you will end up missing the parade or the fireworks show.
But think about it because this parade only takes place once a day at the Magic Kingdom.
A last alternative is to buy the Lightning Lane, Disney's new queue skipper, which replaced FastPass+.
Lightning Lane is paid per visitor, but with it, you can ride the attraction without having to wait in the regular line.
And since we're talking about queues, let's talk about what the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train queue looks like!
What is the queue on the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train like?
Because it is a ride which usually has very long lines, Disney made it very interactive.
This has been a pretty cool custom for disney to leave the queues of magic kingdom attractions or other less overwhelming parks!
In it there are several games to distract visitors and especially children waiting to play.
It has interactive water games, and digital games where you can play with the diamonds from the seven dwarfs' mines!
We list some of the games you can find there:
Separate the diamonds
While the jewels float across a wooden touchscreen, touch and drag the diamonds to a tray, separating by size and shape.
Gemstone washing
After arranging the diamonds, use a musical faucet and start cleaning. Does each faucet play its music ? pay attention to the “Master” tips and you will be able to hear a series of well-known songs!
The Cave
Passing through the mountain portal, you'll find a series of wooden barrels brimming with glowing stones. Flip each barrel and watch the ceiling above you transform!
This greatly relieves the wait helping the time go by faster!
It is worth mentioning again that the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train It's an attraction for the whole family!
Because it's a very light and quiet roller coaster, you can take the little ones without fear.
Surely they will love having fun with the light falls she has and seeing the seven dwarfs so perfect animatronics!
Also, as it has height restriction, it is worth checking it out before arriving there with children.
In fact, we recommend that you do this for all attractions in the park.

Has a photo on the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train?
The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is an attraction that takes two photos of all visitors during the attraction. In addition, it also makes a very cute video!
If you have a Magic Band it links your photos and video automatically! That way, you won't need to lean it against any totems!
Apparently this will be a system now implemented in all new attractions at Walt Disney World resort, a maximum no?
It's worth remembering that the photos and video will go to your Magic Band!
However, you will only be able to download and view them without a watermark if you buy the package. Memory maker or the photos you want.
This service is not included in the park tickets. You can purchase it at the Park's Guest Relations if you wish.
However, we recommend that you make the purchase in advance via the Disney app.
Buying in advance, you even pay a little less!
Best time to ride the Seven Dwarfs Roller Coaster
Well, obviously the special events like Early Morning Magic, Halloween party and Christmas are events where the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is much more accessible.
This happens because at these events there are fewer people than usual at the park's normal hours.
Second, there are other special things that are unique to the event, so guests naturally prefer these options.
As we mentioned earlier in this post, on normal park days, the ideal is to go or very early as soon as the park opens.
Or go well at the end of the day (which can make you miss the closing show Happily Ever After).
Honestly, if you've never seen the park's closing show, we don't recommend you miss it.
The closing shows of the parks are usually unique and very surprising!
Is the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train scary for kids?
Speaking directly, it may be!
Obviously it will vary a lot from how used your child is to attractions of this type.
First of all, Seven Dwarfs is a roller coaster and a “Dark Ride” in one.
Disney's Dark Rides are those "Ride in the dark" where you see a number of things, not necessarily with the "scary" theme as is the case with Haunted Mansion.
But it can be cute too Frozen attraction at Epcot, both considered Dark Rides.
That said, a child may be frightened simply by dwarf animatronics or having a dark part.
It is possible as we show in a video at the end of the post
And she can be scared too with the roller coaster part, which even though it's not super extreme, each child has their own rhythm.
Overall, the children brave little ones usually love it!
