Disney World Guide - Epcot

Epcot has 2 parts, the part with the Big Shiny Ball and World Showcase.

Most of the rides and stuff are in the part of Epcot with the ball.

The must sees here are a new Nemo ride(overrated) the new Soaring ride (get a fastpass as soon as you eneter the park), Honey I Shrunk the Audience (a 3-D show), Mission to Mars, and Test Track.

The Shiny ball part of Epcot has very few Character greeting opportunities and few kiddie rides. There are quite a few interactive and learning type things for older kids and no afternoon parade.

Where Epcot really delivers is the World Showcase where there are pavillions for Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Morocco, Norway, U.S.A., and United Kingdom. Each pavillion has resteraunts, shops, and employees, from that country. Some countries have rides or movies.

China has a great acrobat show.

Everyone has heard the saying "EPCOT is actually an acronym for Every Parent Comes Out Tipsy." This is true because you can get beer and liquor at world showcase.

If you stay multiple days at Disney World, you should end at least one day at Epcot. Eat at the Country of your choice (Germany totally Rocks), have a few drinks, and catch the night show at the World Showcase Lagoon, Illuminations.

Warning: Epcot is huge. We ended up having to get a double stroller when we returned to Epcot one afternoon for World Showcase. the stroller was big enough for Cyndy, Madeline, and sam to sit in to watch Illuminations.

Note: We were not watching Illuminations when this picture was taken. I was trying to get some rest from walking all day and having 2 children hanging and climbing all over me. We were much more excited and amazed during Illuminations!
