food IS a theme park
Is Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind your favorite ride in all of Disney World? If it is, SOLID CHOICE.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Comic Rewind
This ride is beloved by many, and Disney fans have taken to riding it over and over, trying to get all six songs that the soundtrack offers. But far and away, one of those songs is a fan-favorite…it’s “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire. And this month, you can GUARANTEE you’ll hear it!
There are plenty of reasons to buy a ticket to EPCOT After Hours. Shorter waits for rides? Yes. Fewer people standing between us and another spin on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind? Absolutely. Included Mickey Bars? We have never been known to turn down ice cream. But if you’re planning to attend EPCOT After Hours, there’s one reservation we’re making before we start strategizing our ride order.

Dinner. At 7 PM. That might seem like a strange way to begin an event that’s largely about squeezing as much as possible into a few very expensive hours. But hear us out, because eating dinner right when you enter EPCOT might actually help you get MORE out of your After Hours ticket.
We spend a LOT of time comparing Disney World parks. Magic Kingdom has the classics. Animal Kingdom has the atmosphere. Hollywood Studios has some of the biggest rides. And EPCOT has enough snacks to turn “walking around the park” into an all-day competitive sport.

But after attending Disney After Hours at both EPCOT and Hollywood Studios, we noticed one thing EPCOT is doing WAY better. It knows how to feel empty.
What’s the most popular ride in EPCOT? Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, of course!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
This ride has always been one of our favorites, and we all remember the time that we finally got all six songs. Disney filed a new permit for the attraction, and we’re hoping that doesn’t mean downtimes are coming.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind has been one of Disney World’s busiest rides pretty much since the day it opened. Suffice to say, the ride is especially busy during the holiday season, AKA the resort’s busiest time of the year.

So, if you’re heading to Disney World in December, how much is a Lightning Lane Single Pass for the immensely popular coaster going to cost you? Well, history can be our guide…
Ask any Disney World fan what EPCOT is known for, and you’ll get a dozen different answers — World Showcase, the festivals, the food.
Hello from EPCOT!
But over the past few years, EPCOT now has one of the strongest ride lineups in all of Disney World. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind alone can pull standby waits over an hour, Test Track keeps guests lining up to design and race their own concept car, and rides like Soarin’, Frozen Ever After, and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure round out a day that can easily be swallowed whole by lines rather than actual ride time. So what if there were a way to experience nearly all of it, back to back, with almost no wait at all?
If there is one thing Disney fans love, it is a ride with a long line. 😂
The longer the wait, the more convinced we become that whatever is on the other side must be life-changing. Surely this attraction will heal our skin, balance our finances, and justify standing in the Florida sun for an hour and a half.
Hello, EPCOT!
Unfortunately, that is not always how it works. EPCOT is packed with great attractions, but it is also a park where time management matters. Between the size of the park, the popularity of certain rides, and the temptation to spend half your day eating your way around World Showcase, every hour counts.
EPCOT is full of thrilling rides, delicious food, beautiful cultures, and so much more. This park has some of our favorite Disney World secrets, and today, we’re sharing them with you.

If you’re planning a trip this year, staying ahead of these updates could genuinely make or break your day. Here are four new rules Disney World is enforcing right now.
