12 Things Disney Cast Members Recommend You Take Into Epcot

8. Hand Sanitizer Over 11 million people visit Epcot each year, and unfortunately some of them will bring germs with them. You’re going to be touching so many surfaces that others have touched – door handles, ride restraints, hand rails – that you really want to clean your hand from time to time, especially before you eat. While soap and

7. Water Bottle Dehydration is no fun. The best way to fight it is with water, and carrying a water bottle is a convenient and easy way to get enough to drink. Water bottles are sold in the parks, but they’re very expensive. You can save a bundle (and the planet) by bringing a reusable water bottle from home. Cups of water are available f

6. A Jacket If you’ve only visited Florida in the summer, this may seem silly. In summer the temperatures at Disney World generally range from “oppressive” during the day to “tolerable” at night.

2. Wheelchair or ECV Epcot is a huge park, incredibly spread out with miles of walkways. If anyone in your group has limited mobility, it’s best to get a wheelchair or an ECV (electric convenience vehicle or scooter) to make their trip easier. Scooters and wheelchairs can be rented at the entrance to the park, but you can save some money

1. Sunscreen Even in the winter months, the Florida sun is intense. Epcot is a big park with not as much shade cover as some of the others, so sunscreen is a must. Don’t forget that it’s still possible to get sunburned on a cloudy day! Nothing ruins your vacation like a miserable sunburn, so be sure to apply sunscreen before you get to th
