Join us for episode 499 of the Theme Park Trader Podcast!

We've done something a little different this week, we've put every ride, show, restaurant and bar at EPCOT under the microscope and ranked the lot from best to worst.

But we didn't just take Google's star ratings at face value. A place with a handful of reviews can look like it's beating somewhere with thousands, so we ran every score through the same kind of formula IMDb uses for its Top 250 — pulling the small-sample scores back until they've earned their place. What's left is a ranking of what's actually rated highly, not just what got lucky.

Along the way, we:

• Crown the highest-rated attraction in the park (and debate whether it deserves it)
• Work out which iconic sit-down restaurant is coasting on atmosphere rather than food
• Expose the quiet underdogs that score far better than their reputation suggests
• Argue about the ride we reckon is genuinely the weak link — and whether nostalgia is clouding the judgement
• Sort out what's worth your time and money on your next trip, and what to skip

Plus, we get into our D23 predictions — what we think Disney has up its sleeve, the announcements we're hoping for, the ones we're dreading, and the wilder rumours we reckon might just come true. Expect some bold calls we'll almost certainly be held to later.

If you've ever wondered what's genuinely worth doing at EPCOT — and what's coasting on hype — this is the episode for you.
