Sometimes, there are attractions that fans grow attached to, and which rise above their lot in Disney life to become something much greater. These cult hits often aren’t headliners like Space Mountain or Spaceship Earth, but rather, tell smaller-scale stories via C-ticket mechanisms. These are the rides that probably don’t sell many tickets to Walt Disney World, but do keep guests happy once they’re there.

A day spend exploring the monorail resorts is never a day wasted, and while the monorail bar crawl is one notable way to see these beautiful hotels, there are other must-do stops along the way. Here are six of the most essential stops and must-dos at the Walt Disney World monorail resorts.

While all of the World Showcase’s pavilions are excellent, some are more excellent then others. Let’s rank every World Showcase pavilion — taking into account how well-designed they are, how well they capture the nation’s spirit, and how fun they are to explore (and dine within).
