This ride is mild. It is very calm like a ride on a swing in the park

I went to the classic attraction while it was reopened for a week. It's worth the experience, but definitely make sure you get a fast pass as otherwise the line is incredibly long, even early in the day.

Full disclosure, haven't seen Around the World yet, however, I LOVED over California and I have no doubt I'm going to love this new movie as much, if not even more!

A big ole' 10 for this one!!! Ride it again and again if you can. The wait times are horribly long even with fast pass! Get that fast pass for this before you go. One of WDW's rides that you'll hear adults giggle like children!

One of our favourite rides at Epcot - we just love this one, and can ride it multiple times without getting bored. Really looking forward to the new film, but I hope that most of the music remains as that is just wonderful!
