food IS a theme park
EPCOT has some of the most well-loved (as well as the most-hated) rides across ALL Disney World property.

But what have each of these rides done to earn their famous/infamous reputations? Find out TODAY, here on DFB Guide.
Ahhhh… EPCOT. The rides will take you into space, under the sea, on race tracks, and around the world.

BUT… Which ones should you prioritize? Can they all be ridden in one day? What’s the best way to ride them all in one day? If you’ve got these questions, we’ve got the answers. Today, we’re going to take a dive into each of the EPCOT rides and how they’re ranked by the team here at DFB. Plus, we’ll talk about which rides use Disney Genie+ and Individual Attraction Selections, which is just an Individual Lightning Lane. While these totally aren’t necessary, especially in EPCOT, they’ll only help you out if you do decide to purchase them — so just decide what’s best for you and your crew.

We’ve used it countless times and learned the ins and outs, the little secrets, and all the tips that you need to know in order to get your money’s worth out of the system. (Because if we’re going to pay for it, we certainly want to get the value!) So today, we’re sharing our recommendations for the FIRST Genie+ Lightning Lanes that you should book during a visit to EPCOT.
Did you hear? Disney World just announced a BUNCH of new dates for after hours events at EPCOT!

If you want to get on rides with lower wait times, grab special snacks and treats, and see the Disney World theme parks LATE at night, you can buy a ticket for one of the after hours events. For EPCOT, those events will take place on select nights between June 1st and August 24th, 2023. You might be wondering what exactly is included in these events, including which attractions actually stay open once the park closes to daytime guests. We have an answer for you! [Read more…]
We know that Disney Genie+ can be confusing for many, which is why we try to do our best to keep you updated on all the changes that happen with it!
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure
Most attractions found throughout Disney World offer the option of skipping the line as a part of Disney Genie+, but some are Individual Attraction Selections, meaning you pay more for those rides apart from Genie+. One EPCOT ride is making the switch from Individual Attraction Selection to being a part of Disney Genie+!
