I've been visiting Disney World for over 25 years. My favorite ride is tucked into an easily forgotten corner of Epcot.
- I've been vacationing at Disney World since the 1990s, and I love a lot of rides.
- My absolute favorite attraction is Living With the Land in the Land Pavilion at Epcot.
Disney World is filled with high-thrill attractions like Expedition Everest, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, and the new Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.
But I like to take my Disney vacations at a more leisurely pace.
I've been going to Disney World since I was a little kid, and to this day, my favorite ride can be found tucked in a back corner of Epcot's Land Pavilion.
But it's not the popular Soarin' Around the World, it's Living With the Land.
The ride takes you on an informative agricultural journey
Living With the Land, a slow-paced boat ride, starts in an almost zen-like state as guests travel through a simulated thunderstorm.
The ride then takes you on an agricultural journey through the evolution of farming, which also includes a tour through Disney's own working greenhouses.
Guests get to see how Disney uses innovative farming techniques like hydroponics, aquaculture, and vertical-growing mechanisms, all while passing by a variety of fruits and vegetables that are actually harvested and served in different Epcot restaurants.
Some people may think it's boring, but I always need a relaxing moment at Disney World
The attraction may sound boring, especially in comparison to the thrill rides. But when you're clocking tens of thousands of steps in the sweltering Florida sun, there's something to be said for a 15-minute boat ride where all you really need to do is look at some plants.
Plus, since Living With the Land is far from the most popular ride at Epcot, the wait is generally short.
Next time you're at Epcot, think twice before skipping Living With the Land
If you need a break from the sun, want to get off your feet, or have any interest in plants, Living With the Land is the ride for you.
And if you can't get enough of it, there's even a special backstage walking tour of the greenhouses called Behind the Seeds, which costs $35.
