Have you had a chance to ride EPCOT’s newest roller coaster attraction yet? If not, from personal experience, we must say Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is one of the most impressive attractions available at Walt Disney World. And soon enough… it’s going to be getting a dose of the holidays!

The holidays at Walt Disney World Resort are going to be incredible, to say the least! Not only is Magic Kingdom’s Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party returning for 2022, but fan-favorite such as EPCOT’s Candlelight Processional will also be available this holiday season.

Disney is also putting a new spin on the popular Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind soundtrack! Disney has revealed, “This season, the Guardians will trade in their classic hits playlist for a mash-up of seasonal jams at Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT. Guests will blast off to the tune of an awesome holiday single, bringing joy to Xandar and Terra, too.”

Currently, the new roller coaster features an “Awesome Mix” playlist with six songs including “Conga” by Gloria Estefan, “Disco Inferno” by The Trammps, “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Tears for Fears, “I Ran” by A Flock of Seagulls, “One Way or Another” by Blondie, and “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire.

You never know which song you’ll get when you ride, making the experience unique each time. And now that Disney will throw a seasonal mas-up into the mix – we’re especially excited to see how the ride feels with some festival music piped in!

Ready to ride? Keep in mind, before you head to EPCOT to ride Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind there is NO standby line. This means Guests are currently NOT allowed to wait in line for the attraction. Disney currently has a virtual queue for Guardians that opens at 7:00 am daily. The other way to ride is to purchase a Lightning Lane pass for this attraction.

Time to start making those Walt Disney World 2022 holiday plans, Disney fans!
