We kick off our annual March Madness bracket challenges with a Walt Disney World ride tournament as we rank and seed eight attractions in each of the four parks — Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom — to build the ultimate 32-ride bracket. Using factors like popularity, theming and immersion, innovation, broad appeal, and overall guest satisfaction, we determine which rides earn the coveted #1 seeds and which ones barely sneak into the tournament field. From heavy hitters like TRON Lightcycle / Run, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, and Avatar Flight of Passage… to beloved classics like Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, Spaceship Earth, and Kilimanjaro Safaris, every attraction has to find its place on the bracket. Along the way we debate controversial rankings, question whether nostalgia should matter, and set up some very interesting first-round matchups. Which rides deserve the top seeds? Which ones are overrated? And what attraction do you think could pull off the biggest upset? Let the brackets begin.

Here's how to make the most of one perfect day at Epcot.Start Early: Arrive for Rope DropEpcot opens earlier than many guests realize, and arriving before the official opening—known as “rope drop”—is the best way to get a head start. Head straight to one of the park's most popular attractions:Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in World DiscoveryRemy's Ratatouille Adventure in the France PavilionFrozen Ever After in the Norway PavilionIf you're staying at a Disney resort, take advantage of Early Theme Park Entry to enjoy even shorter lines.Morning: Explore Future World (World Celebration, Discovery, and Nature)Begin your day with Epcot's innovative side. Start with Spaceship Earth, the iconic geodesic sphere that takes you on a journey through the history of human communication. Then explore:Soarin' Around the World – a breathtaking simulated flight over famous landmarks.Living with the Land – a peaceful boat ride through futuristic greenhouses.Test Track – design your own virtual car and put it to the test.These attractions showcase Epcot's original vision: a celebration of human creativity and progress.Lunch: Savor the Flavors of the WorldLunch at Epcot is an event in itself. Head to World Showcase, where 11 countries circle the lagoon, each offering authentic cuisine, drinks, and entertainment.Some fan favorites include:Les Halles Boulangerie-Pâtisserie (France) for sandwiches and pastriesVia Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria (Italy) for wood-fired pizzaLa Cantina de San Angel (Mexico) for tacos with a waterfront viewIf you're visiting during one of Epcot's seasonal festivals—like the International Food & Wine Festival—sample small plates from the festival booths scattered around the park.Afternoon: Stroll and Discover the World ShowcaseSpend your afternoon exploring the pavilions at a leisurely pace. Each country offers detailed architecture, cultural exhibits, and unique shopping opportunities. Don't miss:The American Adventure show, an impressive blend of history and animatronicsMatsuriza drummers in JapanThe Voices of Liberty a cappella group performing in the rotunda of The American AdventureFor a cool break, visit the DuckTales World Showcase Adventure on the Play Disney Parks app for an interactive scavenger hunt.Evening: Dinner and FireworksAs the sun sets, Epcot transforms into a glowing wonderland. Reserve dinner in advance—options range from fine dining to casual bites:Le Cellier Steakhouse (Canada) for signature steaksTakumi-Tei (Japan) for an elegant dining experienceSpice Road Table (Morocco) for small plates with lagoon views End your night with Luminous: The Symphony of Us, Epcot's nighttime spectacular over World Showcase Lagoon. This blend of fireworks, fountains, and music is a fitting finale to a day that celebrates human connection and creativity.The Magic of EpcotEpcot is more than a theme park—it's an exploration of what's possible when imagination meets innovation. Whether you're riding through space, tasting your way around the world, or watching fireworks dance across the water, a day at Epcot is a reminder that adventure and inspiration can be found in every corner of the globe.

Send us a textWhat would happen if you were forced to choose between your favorite Disney attractions, permanently eliminating one while keeping the other? That's the challenging premise behind our "Ride or Die" game, where we confront impossible choices that reveal what truly matters in our Disney park experiences.Over a Barrels of Blaze cocktail from Beacon Barrel (Jack Daniels bourbon, honey, lemon, and chili), we dive into agonizing decisions across three categories: shows, snacks, and rides. The results surprise even us, as longtime Disney preferences are questioned when put in direct competition with other beloved experiences.When forced to choose between Country Bear Jamboree and Carousel of Progress, or Fantasmic and Mickey's PhilharMagic, we discover how storytelling, nostalgia, and rewatch value shape our show preferences. Our snack selections pit iconic Dole Whip against Mickey pretzels, churros against School Bread, and expose how sensory experiences like the smell of popcorn influence our park memories.The most revealing choices come with ride comparisons. Would you sacrifice Expedition Everest to save Tiana's Bayou Adventure? Is Rise of the Resistance worth losing Kilimanjaro Safaris forever? We weigh factors like thrills versus storytelling, queue experiences, ride length, and even seating comfort in making these painful decisions. The final showdown between Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad forces us to choose between Disney's most innovative new experience and a nostalgic classic.Through these challenging hypotheticals, we discover what truly defines our personal Disney experiences. Whether you prioritize nostalgia, thrills, immersive storytelling, or something else entirely, this episode will have you questioning which attractions you'd fight to preserve if forced to make the ultimate Disney sacrifice.Here's who we are and what is in store for you

Disney's Epcot offers countless dining options, but is Connections Eatery worth your precious park time and dining credits? We're pulling up a chair to give you the unfiltered scoop straight from our family's lunch table.Navigating the bustling atmosphere of this World Celebration eatery at 2pm (still surprisingly packed!), we put Disney's Quick Service Dining Plan to the test with a variety of menu items. The hand-breaded chicken sandwich delivered solid flavor without excessive breading, though the accompanying black garlic truffle fries proved divisive—enjoyable in small doses but overwhelming as a full side. Meanwhile, the Flower and Garden Festival's hot honey chicken sandwich hit the perfect balance of heat and sweetness, complemented wonderfully by pickles for a contrasting crunch.The real star? Connections' pizza. With gigantic slices that practically count as double portions, the $11.29 cheese pizza stands as one of Epcot's best quick-service values. Our family debate about sauce levels (some wanting more, others preferring the lighter approach) highlights how this adaptable menu caters to different palates. All these options—plus alcoholic beverages like Oregon's Rainstorm Pinot Noir Rosé—were completely covered by our Quick Service Dining Plan credits.Beyond food, we share our refreshingly laid-back approach to park touring. Arriving during Early Entry without the rope-drop rush, we walked straight onto Soarin', Figment, and Nemo before experiencing the "big party" atmosphere of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. This relaxed strategy sparked fascinating family discussions about park touring philosophies—are you Team Rope Drop or Team Take-It-Easy?Ready to plan your perfect Epcot day?

This week, Len Testa and Jim Hill, joined by former Imagineer Jim Shull, dive into the fascinating history of Buffalo Junction, the resort Disney almost built between Fort Wilderness and Wilderness Lodge.

Buffalo Junction: The Resort That Never Was – Disney's ambitious plan for an Old West town complete with a steam train and dinner show. How Disneyland Paris Inspired This Resort – The success of Frontierland and Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show nearly brought the idea stateside. The End of the Fort Wilderness Railroad – Why Disney abandoned steam trains at Fort Wilderness and how they almost made a comeback. Universal's Year-Round Halloween Horror Nights – Details on Universal Horror Unleashed, opening in Las Vegas this summer. Virtual Queues Ending at Disney Parks – Tiana's Bayou Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind drop their virtual queues—what it means for guests.
