Young kids love Disney World because of the characters, fun rides, and entertaining shows, but Disney World is also an excellent place for teens to visit. As my kids got older, they loved the rides more than anything else, so now, we spend more of our time on the rides. Here are 7 of the best Disney World rides with teens. We’ve received some complimentary and discounted trips to Disney World but have also paid our own way many times.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
This new-ish ride in EPCOT is now one of the most popular. It’s more than a roller coaster, it’s a full experience, with twists and turns all set to an exciting soundtrack. Currently, you’ll have to get a virtual queue reservation or pay for an individual lightning lane if you want to ride, as there is no standby line.
TRON: Lightcycle/Run
Based on the movie TRON: Legacy, TRON Lightcycle / Run is an exciting new attraction at the Magic Kingdom. It’s a highly thrilling indoor/outdoor ride on a motorcycle-like ride vehicle. If you love thrill rides, you’ll want to include this in your plans because it’s fun and exciting.
Rock N Roller Coaster
The Rock’ n Roller Coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is my all-time favorite ride at Walt Disney World. This thrill-filled roller coaster features loud Aerosmith music, super-fast speeds, big drops, and upside-down loops.
Rise of the Resistance
This attraction, located in Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, is more than a ride; it’s a full experience. Even if you aren’t a Star Wars fan, this ride is a must-do during a Walt Disney World vacation.
Expedition Everest
On this Himalayan Mountains-themed ride in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, you’ll travel on a coaster through mountain peaks. Unfortunately, a yeti has broken the train tracks, causing the coaster to speed backward. It’s an extremely fast, fun thrill ride, and it is worth the line.
Tower of Terror
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is one of the best-themed rides at Walt Disney World. Enter the hotel, and you’ll learn about the family in the elevator when lightning struck. From the costumed cast members who play along as creepy hotel staff to the cobweb-filled hotel interior, it does feel like an abandoned luxury hotel.
Space Mountain
Space Mountain is a fun rollercoaster in the Tomorrowland part of the park. It’s the original rollercoaster I remember riding on as a child, and it’s still one of my favorites. It’s a classic ride at Walt Disney World and one of the best things about Tomorrowland.
