Picture this. You’re seated in a roller coaster ride vehicle. You’ve got a mission to save the galaxy. Your Starjumper vehicle is heading up the hill. You’re going through a jump point to space. No one’s gonna stop rock and roll from existing. Wait. I think we’re jumping back. Darkness.
Did you follow all that? We’re talking about the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind ride in EPCOT. This ride is SO much fun, and Disney fans love that collective *hold your breath and wait for the launch* moment, complete with the big reveal when you blast off and find out what song will play as you zoom through space. Ugh. It’s fantastic.
If you’re unfamiliar, the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind coaster features a randomized playlist of iconic songs, so you can listen for a different song each time you ride. There are six different songs you can hear:
- “I ran (so far away)” by a Flock of Seagulls
- “One Way or Another” by Blondie
- “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Tears for Fears
- “September” by Earth Wind and Fire
- “Disco Inferno” by the Trammps
- “Conga” by Gloria Estefan
Let’s be honest here. The music is one of the best parts of the ride! Every once in a while, Disney changes things up for special occasions. A few years back, the ride featured a special “Holiday Remix” as a temporary substitute for the typical playlist.
This year, you can look out for another temporary music change! Disney is planning to play one song on repeat this September. Any guesses?
Disney teased, “There’s only one Cosmic Rewind song that we’d put on repeat September 21. 🎶 Do you remember? 🎶” Watch the teaser below!
Oh, yes. On September 21st, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind will play ONE song for the entire day. Listen for “September” by Earth Wind and Fire if you visit the park! What better song to listen to on this special occasion? If you need a little refresher, here’s a peek at the first few lyrics of the song. Sing along!

We got Everybody Wants to Rule the World the first three times we rode Guardians. We have had other songs since, but every time this song plays on the radio, I close my eyes and am transported right onto Guardians of the Galaxy! I love it!
