Discovery around every corner

More than rides.
More than one experience.

EPCOT can be a thrill day, a festival day, a dining day or a combination of all three. The right plan balances priority attractions with enough time to explore World Showcase without rushing through it.

Inside the EPCOT story

Imaginative landscapes, global flavors, festivals and nighttime color make this a park to experience with more than an attraction list.

EPCOT · Good to know

Five choices for
a smoother EPCOT day.

Two entrances, major attractions and a full World Showcase make one clean route more useful than a crowded checklist.

01

Use the right entrance

The main entrance and International Gateway begin in very different places. Let the hotel and transportation decide.

02

Anchor the headliners

Place the hardest priorities first, then connect them to dining and World Showcase in one direction.

03

Plan a cool-down

Use an indoor pavilion, longer meal or show before the heat and distance catch up with the group.

04

Leave room for festivals

Kitchens, concerts and exhibits are better when part of the day stays open for discovery.

05

Finish near the exit

Put dinner, nighttime viewing and the trip back to the hotel in the same general area whenever possible.

More than a ride list

Let EPCOT become
the evening out.

World Showcase, seasonal festivals and nighttime atmosphere reward families who save time for discovery.

01

Explore one pavilion deeply

A garden, exhibit, film or shop can reveal more than a quick lap around World Showcase.

02

Taste without making it a race

Share a few festival or pavilion favorites and leave room for an unplanned discovery.

03

Stop for live performance

Musicians and cultural entertainment give World Showcase a personality that rides alone cannot.

04

Stay for the lights

Spaceship Earth and the lagoon change the park’s mood after sunset and make the evening feel distinct.
