There’s so much to get excited about on Disney family holidays at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida next year, we had a tough time picking just a few favourites. But here they are.

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, Disney’s Magic Kingdom
We love a thrilling musical attraction on Disney family holidays and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida hits perfectly; right up until its final, spectacular and completely scream-worthy 50ft drop.
But it’s what comes before the splashy finale that’s really going to stick with you.
If you think you’re too grown up for enchantment, this ride will change your mind. Spoiler alert! It has bongo-playing bears!
OK, we’re going full spoiler here. There are also singing alligators, Tiana pulling out all the princess stops, and Mama Odie giving cute and quaint, in equal measure.
The soundtrack is lush, and you won’t believe how much there is to see as you glide through the bayou’s winding waterways.
This really is gorgeous Disney animation and storytelling at its most atmospheric. Even the fireflies are adorable and don’t get us started on the dancing okra.
As for the big reveal, right before the ultimate flume drop? We won’t spoil that for you, but it will take your breath away, promise.
If your kids aren’t familiar with The Princess & the Frog movie (Tiana’s origin story) they’re missing out. But Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is a standalone sensation that tells its own tale so beautifully it doesn’t need any explanation.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind – EPCOT
What’s it really like to rock out on an intergalactic chase across the cosmos? Find out on family thrill, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT.
One of the world’s largest fully-enclosed coasters and the first ever Disney coaster with a reverse-launch, it rotates 360° to fully immerse you in the action. Suspend everything you think you know about excitement, this feat of Walt Disney Imagineering takes it to another level entirely.
The adventure begins touring the Galaxarium – a sensational twist on the planetarium concept. Then, just as you’re getting to grips with the differences between Earth’s galaxies and the galaxies of Xandar, you’re swept headlong into a sensational space pursuit.
And because Disney family holidays are all about total immersion, of course it’s your mission to save the galaxy. Are you ready?

TRON Lightcycle/Run, Magic Kingdom Park
TRON Lightcycle/Run is one of the fastest coasters at any Disney theme park in the world and it’s waiting for you at Magic Kingdom Park in Florida.
The dark, computerised world of TRON has no horizons, so climb aboard your own Lightcycle and the potential is limitless. Your one task is to beat the Grid’s most chilling programmes, can you lead your team to victory?
Get ready. Set. Launch and race against time, through Energy Gates, into the light and then plunging back into pitch blackness. Your senses won’t know what’s hit them, but stay focused, this is literally the ride of your life.
Did you know that back in 1982, Disney’s TRON was the first film of its kind to mix live action, CGI and animation. Trailblazing its way into movie history and inspiring a whole new generation of video games, comic books and animated series, before the making of the 2010 sequel, TRON: Legacy.
Mark your calendar for 10 October 2025, when the latest instalment Tron: Ares is released!

Avatar Flight of Passage, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park
Everyone dreams of flying, and Avatar Flight of Passage at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park in Florida is all about making dreams come true. No surprise this unforgettable experience is described with words like ‘thrilling’ and ‘intense’.
It’s an otherworldly expedition, so immersive that, from the first swoop, you are a Na’vi hunter journeying through the mythical landscape of Pandora on the back of a wild mountain banshee.
Every detail is designed to completely absorb you in that experience, from the breeze on your face to the enchanting sounds and the sense of actually flying. You won’t be alone if you get swept away in the emotions of this one.
Bonding with the mountain banshee is a rite of passage for Na’vi hunters, and this incredible attraction is one that will stay with you forever. Though, you might want to ride it more than once, just to be sure.
Watching Avatar: Fire and Ash this December will only make you more excited to voyage to Pandora in real life.

Toy Story Land, Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Toy Story Land had us at Slinky Dog Dash, the fun and family-friendly coaster that twists and turns across Andy’s backyard with exactly the right level of speed to get everyone’s heart racing.
It’s the perfect ride for kids over 97cm tall, and loved just as much by grown-ups. But that’s true of everything here, from getting competitive on Toy Story Mania! to taking a spin on Alien Swirling Saucers.
Playing up a storm as a family is the Toy Story Land vibe, so you want to keep your strength up and Roundup Rodeo BBQ can help with that. Or when you’re looking for a quick boost of the treat variety, head to Woody’s Lunch Box and snack away.
As you roam round Andy’s backyard, keep your eyes open for your pals Woody and Jessie, Buzz Lightyear and even the Green Army Corps (you can’t miss them they’re making music all over the place).
And don’t miss Jessie’s Trading Post for fun toys, collectables and clothes inspired by the Toy Story movies.
Remember, Toy Story 5 is on its way in 2026 which makes Toy Story Land even more exciting for your crew next year!
