We love Disney rides — especially when we get to participate in the story!
Interactive Disney World attractions are so, so much fun. Whether we’re shooting aliens with Buzz or flying the Millennium Falcon, we tend to have a blast. But which of these rides is the most fun?
Here’s our definitive ranking of the interactive rides at Disney World!
We’re categorizing any interactive ride as an attraction where you physically participate in the ride — more than just spinning a teacup on Mad Tea Party or moving a lever on Dumbo the Flying Elephant. And we’re ranking them on how fun those interactions are, not necessarily the ride as a whole.
6. Tomorrowland Speedway
Coming in last place is Tomorrowland Speedway. Sure, it’s fun in theory to drive a little car, but the smell of gas and heavy pedals make this ride a little less pleasant than we want it to be.
5. Mission: SPACE
Though Mission: SPACE can be fun, it’s still not high on our list due to its motion-sickness-inducing movement and the fact that your interaction doesn’t much affect the ride.
4. Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin
Over in Magic Kingdom we have our fourth place attraction with Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin. We love defeating Zurg at Buzz’s side, but this attraction feels a little dated compared to a certain other shooter attraction. More on that in a sec!
3. Spaceship Earth
Alright, to the top three! In third place we have EPCOT’s Spaceship Earth. The interactive portion of this attraction lets you plan your future and shows a little clip of you experiencing futuristic technologies. It’s been around for a while, but we’re giving this ride some serious points for how creative the interaction is!
2. Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run is our runner up for a few reasons. There are different positions with different controls, and your actions actually affect the ride! Have you ever had a successful run?
1. Toy Story Mania!
In first place, we’ve got to have Toy Story Mania! This attraction combines the classic fun of a shooter with awesome technology to create a seriously fun experience. Careful though, you might leave this one with a tired arm!

Has anyone else noticed that your partner in the Mania ride is getting different point values than you? The last few times I’ve been ahead the whole time and then my husband comes in and beats me. The last time we both noticed that he was getting 100 points for whatever it was, while I was getting 50 points. Not sure of the numbers but that’s the gist. It didn’t seem fair. Does anyone have any insight into this?
