Or make a new spell that the disk is controllable but of a higher level. Speed is limited to your movement. Weight limit is twice your carry capacity or just your lifting capacity.
The sad thing it you can not ride your own floating disk.
It only follows you. 20 foot away.
An NPC in my campaign world rigged up a "vehicle" that has a little seat on a 21-foot crane arm at the front, and a platform at the back he can cast floating disc under
It's slow and not very maneuverable, but he doesn't need to feed or shoe a floating disc

The big benefit of Floating Disk is that it's a ritual spell. If you had to upcast it to make it more useful, you could no longer us a ritual spell, and would be just better off casting Fly.
Why can't you home brew a ritual spell.
And I can see it fitting in as a second level spell.
That is were the DM must approve it use in a game.
As a player I am old enough to understand this and not try to float one past the dm.
I also think the ritual system could use a tweak or two. I think that ritual casting times could be upped to 5 minutes per level. I also think there should be more ritual spells. Or some ways to cast any spell as a ritual. The casting time makes their use in combat quite impossible.
By the way Floating disk is nothing close to Fly. in ability.
And floating disk has a mistake in its description. It works to stay 20 ft from you at all times unless it can not move anymore. But when you cast it you could cast it up to 30 ft from you but it immediately tries to move to 20 ft from you against your will. Why not just make its cast range 20 ft? I can not see the need for a 30ft cast range.

I mean, you can homebrew a ritual spell, but if you make one that is objectively better in every way over an existing ritual spell, then you are going to be disrupting game balance. And this is basically giving someone a ritual version of upcasted Fly that doesn't require concentration, a spell slot, and last for 6x as long.
DMs frequently very quickly learn the law of unintended consequences. :D
Nothing is wrong with levitate. If you only want to go up 20 ft.
As for a modified floating disk. I personally would restrict the disk to only lifting and carrying you. Not the automatic 500lbs. You have to be touching it to move it. Limit it to just your personal movement speed. And keep the 100 foot limit to be away from it.
Now you can ride it like a skate board. Or even float over those pesky traps. It might still set them off though.( I am not your DM)
Perhaps make some sort of "Yourcharactername's Flying Carpet" spell that does more what people almost universally imagine when they read the spell title of Floating Disk :3
As for a spell that has a similar effect but with combat utility, consider grabbing Levitate -- you can use it on a hostile creature and just continually float them up +20 feet in the air per turn. Makes pure melee characters totally helpless, and if you do it for the full concentration period the fall damage is no joke. >_>
Can?
I use a floating disk. To destroy my opponent by floating to the ceiling and crushing them and if so how many can I put on the disk

Perhaps you can craft a spell to control Tenser's Floating Disk?
No need to use two spells.
Tenser made a lot of spells.

Home brew till your heart is content.

Can you expand the disk?
If so you could expand it to 100ft, lift it up and deprive monsters of oxygen
