9. The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror – Hollywood Studios, Sunset Boulevard

I could ride this one over and over again, if I wouldn’t have to wait so long each time!  The theme and detail that was put into creating this attraction is incredible.  Guests venture through The Hollywood Tower Hotel to the elevator that they will take and then ultimate drop 13 stories.  The drop sequence is random, so you don’t experience the same ride twice.  You have to experience this one during the day as well as at night, since the experience is a little bit different for each.

8. Frozen Ever After – Epcot, Norway Pavilion

Frozen Ever After is a family-friendly boat ride that took the place of the former Maelstrom and follows a similar track, winding through multiple experiences up and down the river. It’s a fun attraction with beautiful surroundings, top notch animatronics, and of course… the forever popular Frozen characters and songs to sing along with!
