When heading to the Disney World Parks, there are literally dozens of rides to experience, and everyone has their favorite.
We recently decided to scour the AllEars Reader Review Section to see what your favorite — and least favorite — rides were in all four Disney World parks.
Here are our findings — and keep in mind, these are just rides. No shows, entertainment, or theater attractions were included!
The Best and Worst Ride in Each Disney World Park – According to AllEars Reader Reviews
Magic Kingdom:
Best Ride: Splash Mountain – 9.72
Splash Mountain is an iconic Disney attraction featuring music from “Song of the South” and a 52 foot drop into the Briar Patch!
Our readers say:
“My all time favorite Disney World ride! So much fun for the whole family.”
” It’s iconic, very Disney. The music is amazing and fun – for all age ranges too! The animatronics are classic; just love it!”
“This is my all time favourite ride at magic kingdom. It’s a good length ride, lots to look at along the way and a nice drop at the end for thrill!”
Splash Mountain (Closed)
Worst Ride: Magic Carpets of Aladdin – 5.65
Fly through the skies on this Dumbo-style attraction themed to Aladdin!
Our readers say:
“There’s no point to ride this if you ride dumbo and the queue at dumbo is better.”
“It’s fine”
Magic Carpets of Aladdin
Epcot:
Best Ride: Soarin’ Around the World – 9.46
Soarin’ Around the World is a hangliding-themed attraction that takes you above world famous settings such as The Great Wall of China, The Eiffel Tower, and the savannas of Africa.
Our readers say:
“The last time I was at WDW I rode Soarin’ 8 times and never got bored of it!!!”
“Amazing! Best ride in EPCOT. Thrilling but also relaxing… exhilarating. If you’ve ever wanted to fly, this is your ride!”
“The EPCOT essential ride. Amazing even if you don’t have a B1 seat. Can I also throw in that I cried? It was just truly amazing to ride.”
Soarin' Around the World -- WDW
Worst Ride: Journey into Imagination – 6.56
Take a tour of the Imagination Institute with Dr. Nigel Channing — but things get crazy when Figment the dragon gets involved!
Our readers say:
“I just don’t understand the concept here. So out of place. Only fun for tiny little kids.”
“What even is this ride? What? WHAT?!?! I can’t even understand what is going on. It’s so annoying, and it’s just a strange experience. Save the 10 minutes and spend it in World Showcase”
“No substance to ride, geared for very small children, maybe toddlers?”
Journey Into Imagination
Disney’s Hollywood Studios:
Best Ride: Rise of the Resistance – 10.00
This immersive experience puts you in the center of a battle between the First Order and Resistance with multiple ride vehicles and sets.
Our readers say:
“Easily the best ride in DisneyWorld…Even if you’re not a Star Wars fan, try and go on this ride.”
“Worth all the hype.”
“AHMAZING. This ride is a mold breaker.”
Rise of the Resistance -- WDW
Worst Ride: Alien Swirling Saucers – 6.63
Take a spin on this rotating attraction featuring the aliens from Pizza Planet.
Our readers say:
“it’s a cute ride for someone younger but it’s not too great”
“Extremely long wait for a very short ride, felt like it was 30 seconds and I waited 90 minutes for it. Only go on it if it is a short line!”
“This is fun, but not at all the best Disney ride”
Alien Swirling Saucers
Disney’s Animal Kingdom:
Best Ride: Expedition Everest – 9.64
Conquer the yeti in this roller coaster to the top of a mountain!
Our readers say:
“This ride is so beautiful, fun, fast, and entertaining. The imagineering is so intricate and makes you excited to ride. I would wait a long time to ride this ride.”
“I would recommend to go on it once in the day and once at night. You can see more details at night that you might have not noticed before.”
“Definitely the best roller coaster in Disney World.”
Expedition Everest
Worst Ride: Triceratop Spin – 4.80
This wheel-and-spoke attraction in Dinoland USA is similar to Dumbo — but with dinosaurs instead of elephants.
Our readers say:
“It’s just like what you would expect. 90 seconds of going in a circle while sitting in a Dinosaur. If the line is short, it’s worth it on hot days just to feel a breeze.”
“No Wait. Fun quick ride for families with small children”
“Not worth a wait”
TriceraTop Spin

Rise is Great but the virtual queue is H O R R I B L E!! took us 5 Months of trying to get on a Group and then finally we got Back Up #175. It was pretty cool but doesn’t compare to Flight or Passage! Hey Disney! DUMP Virtual Queuing It Is Not a Fair System!
Magic Carpets is truly the worst ride in Magic Kingdom. Rode it for the first time on Thursday and it jostled us so much that I was almost sick afterwards. Plus, what’s the point of the spitting camels??
Journey into Imagination now is just a watered down version of the original, but I still love it. We can’t lose Figment…but I wouldn’t cry if they went back to the original…
I’m with you, love Figment but the original ride was better. That being said my friends and I are a long way from childhood and we still enjoy it.
Avatar Flight of Passage is by far my favorite
It is the Best! Better then Rise!
Quite shocked that Avatar – Flight of Passage was not number 1. It is the most amazing ride and I am in awe every time.
I was shocked Everest is a great ride but it doesn’t compare to Avatar-Flight of passage I never saw the movie and never wanted to and after riding the ride I would definitely watch the movie just to understand some of the things better just an amazing ride best I’ve ever ridden in any park I’ve ever been to
