If you’re planning a Disney vacation and want to know which attractions are best, our Disney ride guides are here to help! We have created guides for each of the Walt Disney World and Disneyland theme parks, Shanghai Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, Hong Kong Disneyland, and Tokyo Disney Resort.
These guides provide objective scores for each ride, show, and other attraction based upon how well-done those attractions are when experienced by their target audience. Fantasyland dark rides are reviewed with kids in mind, and intense rollercoasters and simulators are reviewed with teens and adults in mind.
In addition to basic information and ratings for each Disney attraction, since we know your time is limited, we’ve included strategy! We know your time in the theme parks might be limited, so we mention how you should prioritize popular attractions and whether they’re worth using FastPass or FastPass+ on (not all FastPass attractions are created equally–some don’t even need FastPass, but just have it to provide enough “FastPass capacity” to pull guests away from popular attractions).
Below are the guides, organized by resort with links for the guide to each park at that resort. We hope these guides prove handy when you’re planning your next Disney trip!
