10 EPCOT Experiences We Could Do Without At Walt Disney World
9. Empty Spaces There are currently eleven countries represented in the World Showcase. Mexico, China, Germany, Italy, USA, Japan, France, United Kingdom, and Canada were in place when EPCOT opened in 1982. Two years later the Morocco pavilion was added, and in 1988 Norway joined the lineup. But what if I told you that EPCOT was actually

8. Outdated Futureworld Attractions As the name suggests, Futureworld is supposed to be all about cutting edge technology and the newest, latest, and greatest that the world has to offer. Unfortunately, a few of the attractions in Futureworld are really a throwback to the past. My family recently visited EPCOT and took a ride on Ellen’s E

7. Restaurant Bookings As you probably know, Walt Disney World allows Advance Dining Reservations (ADRs) to be made up to 180 days in advance. That’s six months!

6. Late Opening of World Showcase Many people don’t realize that, while typical rope-drop at EPCOT is at 9:00, the World Showcase area doesn’t open until 10:00. This means that you cannot start at the back of the park, which is one of my favorite strategies for avoiding crowds. I also enjoy making EPCOT a two-day experience, one in Future

5. Long Walks Between Attractions EPCOT is a deceivingly large park. The attractions in EPCOT are spread out over a very large area and pavilions can be far apart. This means that you will spend a lot of time walking between pavilions. It can seem even longer on a hot summer day, especially since many of the walkways in EPCOT do not have

4. Drunken Guests On a recent visit to EPCOT, my family arrived in time for rope drop at 9:00am. Waiting along with us was a large group of young adults, wearing matching “Drink Around the World” t-shirts. I’m guessing by their behavior that they had already been enjoying some adult breakfast beverages. Their language was NOT appropriate

3. Long Lines Because of that tiered FastPass+ system, you’re not going to be able to skip ahead on the most popular rides in the park. If you’re planning to ride “Test Track,” “Soarin’,” and “Frozen Ever After,” expect to wait in some long lines. During the busiest times these standby lines can easily exceed sixty minutes.

2. Tiered FastPass+ Because Disney has tiered the FastPass+ at EPCOT, it is not possible to get reservations for more than one of the most popular rides. You only get to choose from “Frozen Ever After,” “Soarin’,” “Living with the Land,” “Test Track,” “Illuminations,” and the EPCOT Character Spot. Yes, this list includes some of the most

10 EPCOT Experiences We Could Do Without At Walt Disney World
EPCOT is one of my favorite places in Walt Disney World. I love the science museum-like qualities of Futureworld, the thrilling rides, the delicious food of the World Showcase, and the beautiful architecture representing the countries of the world. I’ve spent more days in EPCOT than in any other Disney park. But that doesn’t mean it’s per

Walt Disney World does the Christmas season in a big way with trees, décor, food, shows and special holiday attractions around the parks and resorts.
