Between a major coaster re-theme, a fully upgraded Star Wars mission, and a brand-new land rolling out in phases, your usual game plan might not cut it anymore. If you want to stay ahead of the crowds and actually experience the newest offerings, you’ll need to adjust how you approach this park.

A new version of Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run is coming to Disneyland and Disney World on May 22nd, and Disney just shared a new poster for the ride.
Nothing can ruin my trip to Disney World more than sitting in the middle of a ride and realizing this space is just too dang small. I’ll be vibing and enjoying myself when all of a sudden, I can’t find the exit, there are people everywhere, and the walls are caving in. Yeah, not really magical in my opinion.

No, but I come prepared with headphones, a book, and plenty of anxiety medications. So if you’re like me, here are some rides I would avoid in Disney World.

Listen, I love Disney World rides with my whole heart. I don’t care where I sit as long as I get to fully experience the ride, but there are also some seats that just aren’t as good as others. We’re not talking about the front versus the back on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad or on Cosmic Rewind, but on Smugglers Run.
