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.

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?
