  • 14: The OBJECTIVE Top 10 Attractions at Walt Disney World

    Is there such a thing as "objective" when it comes to Disney World?


    Of course not -- but Steve tries his best anyway!


    Steve ranks the top 10 "objectively" best rides and attractions. Taking into account what makes Disney World unique and magical -- Imagineering, immersiveness, storytelling, efficiency, technology, nostalgia -- Steve tries to strip away any personal preferences and dig into what's objectively the best of the best. Does Mike go along with this, or does he flip out? Did your favorite ride make the top 10? (Spoiler alert: Steve's didn't)


    Leave a comment! Is this your objective top 10? What are your top rides that you acknowledge aren't objectively in the top 10? (Carousel of Progress anyone?)
