EPCOT is known for a lot of things.
Eating and drinking around the world and the World Showcase, in general, are two big things, but when we say EPCOT you also might think of one of the most popular rides in Disney World right now — Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. We ADORE this ride, but think some of the song choices could be refreshed just a little bit. We asked our readers on Facebook what they thought, and we fully support these suggestions!
The song we saw recommended the most was easily “Come and Get Your Love” by Redbone! This song can be heard in the opening credit sequence of the first Guardians of the Galaxy film where Peter Quill (aka Starlord) dances around with his trusted walkman.
We also heard a lot of love for “Mr. Blue Sky” by Electric Light Orchestra, which can be heard in the opening credits of the second Guardians of the Galaxy film, where baby Groot dances around while the rest of the Guardians battle The Abilisk.
Many readers also suggested “Will It Go Round In Circles” by Billy Preston because of the way the ride moves! If you haven’t ridden it, it’s mainly a screen-based ride with a ride vehicle that can move around in a circle (or really, half circle) while you move around the track. For those sensitive to motion sickness, it may be a little rough, just a heads up!
We were SO hoping to see this one on here and you all didn’t disappoint! We also firmly believe that “Don’t Stop Me Now” by Queen should be an option. It matches perfectly with the mission of the Guardians, too, because even if it seems impossible, they’ll try it anyway!
Speaking of Queen, we also think “Dancing Queen” deserves a spot on this ride! It’s such a classic, and we totally think Peter Quill would be jamming out to it without an ounce of shame.
And lastly, we have the the iconic hit — “Take On Me” by aha! Come on, just imagine saving the galaxy with the Guardians to this song! Epic, right?
Don’t get us wrong, we love the current songs, which include:
- “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Tears for Fears
- “Conga” by Gloria Estefan
- “I ran (so far away)” by a Flock of Seagulls
- “Disco Inferno” by the Trammps
- “One Way or Another” by Blondie
- “September” by Earth Wind and Fire
They’re super solid choices, but we think switching out the songs every now and then would bring a new level of excitement to an already thrilling ride.
We’ll continue to ride Cosmic Rewind regardless, but if the songs change, we’ll be sure to let you know ASAP, so stay tuned to DFB!

We went at the end of June, and they played Mr Blue Sky! Is this a new thing? It was our first time and honestly we all got a little to a lot queasy hahaha! That song’s repetitive beat really drives in the speed of the ride.
