7. Decide which attraction to make a fastpass for—Soarin’ or Test Track These two attractions are the most popular in Epcot, which is why you are only allowed to make a fastpass for one of them. They both have long lines, so don’t make that a factor in your decision. Soarin’ does have a fun queue set up where you ...

6. Make fastpasses in advance You are able to select three FastPass+ experiences per day, and I highly recommend you do so! This will ensure you get to experience at least three attractions during the day. There are only a few rides that get a very long wait on most days, so it’s highly likely you’ll be able to experience ...

5. Determine if you want to see live entertainment or not I am a sucker for live entertainment, and Epcot certainly has a decent lineup. On most days, you can see American Music Machine and the Voices of Liberty in the World Showcase. Obviously, like with any other experience, this means carving out a bit of time from your day ...

4. Determine if you want to see Illuminations or not early on in the day Illuminations is the nighttime show at Epcot that takes place right at park close. While the show is beautiful, that time could be used to hit up one more attraction before you exit the park. Frozen Ever After, the newest ride at Epcot, has a ...

3. Check the weather Epcot has a lot of open space throughout the park, which can be a bummer when there’s inclement weather. However, the majority of the attractions are indoors, which means you will be able to stay dry throughout most of the day. If it’s really hot, you can also escape to some indoor attractions to keep cool.

2. Make dinner plans There are SO many choices as far as food when you’re in Epcot, and if there is a festival going on during your trip you have even more options. Deciding where you want to eat ahead of time and making reservations, if necessary, will save you so much time. Some of the best restaurants are located ...

1. Arrive at park open If you want to explore both sections of Epcot, Future World and the World Showcase, arriving at park open is crucial. Future World usually opens 2 hours before the World Showcase, which gives you plenty of time to explore the different attractions in Future World.

Epcot is a large park with quite a bit to do, which can make it seem like a daunting task to have to see it all in one day. However, having a plan in place will ensure you hit all of the attractions you want to do without feeling pressed for time. Even if you’re not a planning sort of ...

6. See Rivers of Light and plan for extra time This is Animal Kingdom’s newest nighttime show and it’s definitely worth seeing. However, due to its popularity, it’s suggested that you arrive with plenty of time to find a seat, especially if you’re doing stand-by. There are fastpasses and dinner packages available for this show, which means that seats will ...
