Snow White ride?

Hi, We are planning a trip to MK in a few weeks. My almost 3 year old LOVES rides, but isn't a big fan of the characters. He likes them from afar, and enjoys watching shows, etc, but just don't get him close to one! My question is about the snow white ride in MK. How scary is it? I, personally, want to ride it because I never have. Would you recommend it for a 3 year old? What exactly is scary about it? TIA :)

We were there last month and rode the Snow White ride.

If the line is long skip it. If it is short, you ride it and then if you think your 3yo would like it take him on it.

It is a pretty dark ride. And like PP said it is short.

Some of those rides in Fantasyland have such long lines for a 2 minute ride. I will wait for a long time for a 2 minute thrill ride, but not a "kiddy" ride. And I have kiddies that would ride!

I brought my dd on when she was three and she hated it. still does and she's 8 now. i would say, if it's a short line, leave your son with dad, and go for a spin yourself.
then you can decide and if you think he'd like it go on again with him.

NO! A resounding no from our family! Just our opinion. We were just in Disney last month. We were at the park when it opened, walked to the carousel & rode it, then dh suggested Snow White--no line at all. We walked on & both kids(6 & 10) proceeded to HATE the ride. Dark, dark, dark--evidentally we now know that both kids don't like DARK!!!LOL! I was curious b/c I had never ridden it--nothing lost if you don't.

I remembered by ds being afraid of Pirates when he was 2.5 & after going on the ride, he was afraid of Peter Pan--again b/c of the darkness. Oh--the new Nemo ride has one "scarey" part too.

Good luck & have a great time!

I hated this ride as a kid. What I hated was that the witch kind of "jumped" out, and I never knew when.

I was very interested in the responses here b/c we've never ridden Snow White. Everything I'd read about it led me to believe that my girls (who were 5 and 2-1/2 on their first trip and are now 8 and almost 6) would be too scared.
