Every theme park fan has a list of petty pet peeves, and today we're airing all of ours. We count down the worst theme park icks — ranked by rage — from slow walkers and parade curb-savers to ring-light vloggers and Disney adults who can't take a single critique. Building all the way to the number one offender, everyone secretly hates. We even confess the ones we're guilty of. No one's safe, including us.

How much does it REALLY cost to build a Disney World ride? In this episode of Theme Park Trader, we rank the 10 most expensive attractions ever built at Walt Disney World — and then adjust every budget for inflation, which completely reshuffles the list. A ride from 1999 might still be the most expensive Disney has ever built.

We cover the $500 million price tag on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, why Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance's building permits said $78 million when the real number was closer to $450 million, the legendary "Disco Yeti" — one of the most expensive animatronics ever built, broken since 2006 — and how Tiana's Bayou Adventure cost $142 million for what's technically a retheme.

In this episode of Theme Park Trader, we’re talking through our upcoming Orlando plans, from where we’re staying and what parks we’re hoping to hit, to the food, attractions, and chaos we’re already overthinking.

We also get into the latest Disney transport restrictions at Walt Disney World, what they could mean for guests, and whether Disney is slowly making it harder to enjoy the resort without extra planning, extra spend, or a spreadsheet worthy of NASA.

Expect Orlando excitement, Disney transport moaning, a bit of trip-planning panic, and the usual Theme Park Trader nonsense.
