Dinoland

Walt Disney World


This bizarre dinosaur-themed section seems more like a tired carnival than Disney Magic, with garish plastic dinosaurs, midway games and 'Trilo-Bite' snacks. But little ones will like the kids' coaster Primeval Whirl, and DINOSAUR is a really fun jeep ride with a Jurassic Park twist.
