Quick answer: For adult thrill seekers, the top tier is Guardians, TRON, Expedition Everest, Tower of Terror and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. But Rise of the Resistance, Haunted Mansion, Pirates, Spaceship Earth and Safari can be just as memorable.

Adults-only strategy
Do not race from ride to ride. EPCOT festivals, lounges, resort bars, signature dining and nighttime entertainment can make an adults-only trip feel completely different from a family trip.
