We’re conquering the BEST rides in Disney World for 2025!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
It’s a new year, which means it’s time for some 2025 rankings! For this one, we’re counting down the Top 10 BEST Rides at Disney World. Ready to see if one of YOUR favorites (or soon-to-be favorites) made the list? Read ahead!
Disney rides are Imagineering wonders — and Imagineering wonders take a lot of work to keep them running in tip-top shape.

Every once in a while, though, something can cause a ride to suddenly stop. Maybe a rider dropped something when they were getting out and Cast Members needed to retrieve it for safety reasons, or maybe something mechanical happened. It’s typically a quick fix and rides will often start back up within a few minutes, but sometimes — a ride needs to be evacuated!
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is a fun-filled 4D ride in EPCOT.

The ride is in the France pavilion. As you enter the queue, you get “shrunk” down to rat size. You eventually board the ride on cars shaped like rats like Remy and his family and begin your adventure through Gusto’s restaurant. When we say an adventure, we really mean it! You go for a wild ride dodging carts, mean chefs, and very hot ovens. The ride is a wonderful work of imagineering that involves almost all of your senses. Now, three years after it opened in EPCOT, we’ve noticed a couple of changes!
Okay, it’s time to have a real talk about Disney World.
Rise of the Resistance
Yes, Disney World IS The Most Magical Place on Earth, but let’s just say some things have happened…and well, we’ve been through some things. We’ve had some very questionable drinks and snacks, obviously (because we do try to eat EVERYTHING). We’ve also had some strange experiences. But let’s talk about rides. We’ve also had some pretty bad ride experiences. So we’ve decided to share those with you (because we’re suckers for punishment).
Rope dropping the Disney World parks is a fine art.

It takes precision, planning, and cunning to make the most of the first few hours of the day in Disney World. You need to know exactly where you want to go before you even hit the ground, lest you waste any of that valuable pre-crowd time. And we’re here to WARN you about a common mistake when rope dropping EPCOT!

EPCOT’s historic multi-year transformation has — at long last — reached completion!
EPCOT
While Disney World is always changing and updating, EPCOT has seen a MASSIVE overhaul. Walt Disney proclaimed, during the beginning ideas of EPCOT, that it would “always be in a state of becoming.” And this transformation is doing just that, bringing EPCOT into a new state of past, present, and future. But what exactly has all changed since the transformation began? That’s exactly what we’re here to tell you about.
If you’re going to Disney World in 2024, the time to start planning is NOW! Don’t worry — we’re here to help.
