The best Disney games honor the source material and are exciting to play for all ages. From kart racing, to farming, to platforming, there’s a surprising amount of variety. Here are the best Disney games you can play in 2023.

There’s also a decent drifting and boosting system in place in the game, making it feel high-speed.
