The Magic Carpets of Aladdin

The Magic Carpets of Aladdin is a whimsical and family-friendly attraction located in Adventureland at Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World Resort, Florida. Inspired by Disney’s animated film “Aladdin,” the ride takes guests on a magical flying carpet adventure through Agrabah, the fictional city where Aladdin’s adventures unfold.

Each carpet is equipped with a row of seats, providing a comfortable and safe ride experience for guests.

As the ride begins, guests have the opportunity to control their own magic carpet’s movements. They can tilt their carpet forward or backward using a lever, allowing them to control the height and angle of their flight. This interactive element adds an element of fun and excitement, as guests can pretend to soar through the skies just like Aladdin and Jasmine did in the movie.

Throughout the ride, the playful Genie from the movie adds his trademark humor and magic, interacting with guests and adding to the enchantment of the experience.

The Magic Carpets of Aladdin is suitable for guests of all ages, making it a popular choice for families and young children. Its vibrant theming and simple yet enjoyable ride mechanics make it a lighthearted and entertaining attraction for everyone.

Located in the heart of Adventureland, the attraction is easily accessible and is a great addition to the overall theme of the area, which is designed to transport guests to far-off lands and exotic adventures.

The Magic Carpets of Aladdin is a delightful and enchanting attraction that allows guests to immerse themselves in the beloved story of “Aladdin” and experience the thrill of flying on a magic carpet. It remains a cherished and popular attraction at Magic Kingdom, bringing smiles and joy to visitors of all ages as they make their magical journey through the Arabian skies.

I am founder and editor of DisneyNews.us. My passion for all things Disney goes pretty far back to my first trip to Walt Disney World in the mid-80's. I have since returned to the magical place more than 20 times. I started this site when I came to the realization that I spent a significant portion of my day reading articles about Disney and watching Disney content with my 8-year old, so it made sense that I would start sharing some of what I read and see and building a little community around it. Other interests include 80's nostalgia, vintage toys, video games, LEGO, Star Wars and tech gadgets. Other sites include DMR and VideoGamesStats.com.
