Summer is in full swing, and with people flocking to Walt Disney World Resort this year to get their Disney fix, Guests may be wondering how to make the most of their visit. Disney Parks Blog just released their top recommendations for families with tweens traveling to the Parks for summer vacation.

Here are some of the latest and greatest offerings Walt Disney Resort can provide. First up, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is the newest roller coaster to grace the grounds at EPCOT.

Let me tell you; this attraction does not disappoint! Not only is it Disney’s first reverse launch roller coaster, it’s also the longest indoor coaster in Disney theme Park history.

Another remarkable aspect of the attraction is that the ride vehicles rotate as you whisk through the galaxy. Tweens who enjoy the Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) movie will be thrilled to help their favorite characters save the universe.

In keeping with the space theme, Space 220 Restaurant at EPCOT is an immersive experience that kids will especially enjoy. Hop aboard the Centauri Space Station, where you’ll travel 220 miles above Earth while enjoying a hearty meal.

In addition to the epic rides we just discussed, a visit to Walt Disney World Resort would not be complete without experiencing the magic of their shows and fireworks. Two new nighttime events are located within the Parks, “Disney Enchantment” at Magic Kingdom Park and “Harmonious” at EPCOT.
