8 Tips for Tackling Epcot

3. ADR for World Showcase

With eleven nations in World Showcase, guests have a bevy of choices of restaurants.  Many of them are popular, so advanced dining reservations are highly recommended.  Our preference is always for a dinner reservation so we can enjoy a nighttime stroll around the World Showcase Lagoon, as well as the nighttime show!

2. Character Interactions

Epcot is home to a great selection of unique character interactions. Guests are encouraged to make time in their day to meet some of them.  In Future World, guests can meet their favorites at the Epcot Character Spot, while kids will love exploring the countries of the World Showcase as they discover characters spread throughout!  Make sure to download the My Disney Experience app and search for these interactions, or grab a Times Guide and go from there!

1. Afternoon Attractions

Epcot is home to fantastic attractions both in World Showcase and Future World.  We recommend saving some of them for the afternoon when Epcot can get quite hot and sunny and guests will want a respite from the heat.  In World Showcase, guests can learn more about the cultures of China, France, and Canada. In Future World, guests can also experience the magic of Pixar animation at the Pixar Shorts Film Festival!

Epcot is a great theme park, but with two themed lands, restaurants, and attractions, it can be overwhelming.  Consider and use these tips and it will make tackling Epcot during your next trip much more manageable!
