11 Tips For Tackling Disney World's Epcot

France

5. Eat Smart

Because Epcot is home to the World Showcase, there are tons of amazing things to eat in this park. In fact, there are so may things to try, it’s likely you’ll run out of room. For this reason, many visitors find it best to snack their way around the world rather than sit down for a full meal. We tend to agree that this is the best way to get a little taste of everything.

6. Walk the World Early

Speaking of walking around the World Showcase, this is something you’ll want to do earlier in the day rather than later. Why? Because evenings in the World Showcase are incredibly crowded. Besides, many of the street shows and characters go in for the night at around 4pm or 5pm, meaning you’ll miss out by visiting in the evening.
 
All that said, while the park usually opens at 9am, most of World Showcase doesn’t tend to open until 11am. Therefore, you’ll have to do Future World for the early morning and hop over to World Showcase around lunchtime.

7. Wait to Ride Spaceship Earth

The first ride you’ll pass as you enter Epcot from the front is the iconic Spaceship Earth. If you enter the park in the morning, you’ll probably notice that this ride has a decently long line. This line disappears by mid-afternoon, meaning you can save quite a bit of time by waiting to ride.

8. Make Time for Shopping

Epcot is easily the best place in Disney World to do your souvenir shopping. All of the World Showcase shops offer some truly unique items that are super fun to marvel at. For this reason, it’s important that you slow down and make time to do some shopping during your day in Epcot. You’ll be glad you did!
