Editorial Summary

The creators evaluate the popularity and value of major attractions at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom and Epcot parks to help travelers decide which rides to prioritize. At Magic Kingdom, they review Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, noting its unique status for Disneyland visitors, and Pirates of the Caribbean, which they describe as an iconic classic. They also cover Tiana's Bayou Adventure, advising guests to use Lightning Lanes to avoid long waits or getting wet, and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, which was undergoing refurbishment during filming. Other Magic Kingdom reviews include Peter Pan's Flight, Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain, Tron Light Cycle Run, and the Jungle Cruise. Moving to Epcot, the creators assess Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind, calling it a must-ride, along with Remy's Ratatouille Adventure, Frozen Ever After, and Soarin' Around the World. They conclude that while many of these rides are highly popular for a reason, guests should use tools like Lightning Lanes or single rider lines to manage wait times effectively. They also suggest using filler rides like the People Mover to balance a busy itinerary.

Creator's Key Takeaways

Every time I ride it, I say yes. It's one I don't ride often because of long line and, you know, fancy ride, but every time I ride it, I have a great time.

Did you even go to Magic Kingdom if you never ride Pirates of the Caribbean? I'd say no.

I would never stand in a 70-minute queue for it. And I wouldn't recommend you do either.

Absolutely must ride. For everyone. Uh, first of all, very important.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use Lightning Lanes to avoid long waits for popular rides.
Prioritize booking Lightning Lanes for tier 1 attractions early.
Consider single rider lines for Remy's Ratatouille Adventure to save time.
Ride Tron Lightcycle Run at night for a better experience.
Check test seats for Tron if concerned about seating accommodations.
