Disappointing, there is much less emphasis put on being helpful than in the past, I was on the side of the walkway no one around me sipping water only to have the mask police come up to me and my young son in the middle of a tantrum, to help? No to tell me to where a mask while I m having a drink, Disney could learn a thing or two from chik fil a, not worth the money or time
I loved the variety of culture but found the American section to be a little lackluster.
I really enjoyed the ride although the stand out one for me was the only NOT 4d ride I went on which was the boat ride through Mexico.
Of all the Disney parks, Epcot is by far my favorite. If you're into research and history, Epcot probably has some of the most unique history of all the other parks (for example, Epcot was originally supposed to be a city!). The aquarium in the ocean pavilion has a bunch of really cool creatures to look at. Probably the best ride was the one inside the Epcot done itself. At one point it opens up into a beautiful night sky scene. The world showcase is the place to go for food, and there are also some really relaxing slow rides featured in some of the different countries. If you don't mind waiting in line for an hour and a half, Frozen Ever After is a must-see ride, but again, it's usually a really long wait. Tip: the Japan pavilion has a stand where you can get a huge shaved ice dessert for a really good price. It's a perfect frozen treat to cool off with, and it's basically just a giant snow cone, so there's a fair amount of water in it as well.
Overall a great experience every time. Food is good, selection of beers is awesome. Excellent place to spend a day walking around, talking, drinking, eating, people watching... and the rides are a cool bonus.
Couldn't travel the world due to covid. Traveled to epcot to do the next best thing. Visit different "countries" to sample their cuisine. Outstanding time. Run in a very safe manner as well.
Under construction otherwise would've given it a 5/5. But really looking forward to returning in 2022 for the Guardians of the Galaxy roller coaster, Ratatouille ride where you're in little rat cars inside a huge kitchen, and Mary Poppins.
"Soarin'" and "Test Track" were a blast. And "Turtle Talk with the Crush" was hilarious. The food around the world is phenomenal.
My favorite Disney park. However if you plan on visiting in the near future be aware that much of the park is under construction and you may get better value visiting the other 3 parks if you are only here for a few days.
This is not a park with a lot of rides so probably won't be popular with some children.
That said the park is still great, world showcase consistently has great restaurants.
Oh my god. Can't even explain how amazing my experience was. Great food and got to explore so many cultures. I went with my choir to sing at the Disney candlelight and the people backstage we're so helpful and nice. They greeted us with welcome arms. I loved everything and everyone there. Had an amazing experience!!!
I love Epcot. Its one of the more laid back parks. Lots of awesome restaurants and the grounds are always beautiful
I have never failed to enjoy Epcot s beauty and wonders, from exploring the world showcase to the thrilling future world rides to the endless supply of delicious worldly foods and treats. I know for adults that drinking around the world is also a definite highlight to any Walt Disney World vacation. Despite Epcot stereotypically being referred to as an adult park, I argue that it contains just as much fun for kids incouding activities from Agent P s world showcase adventure to Soarin and the Frozen ride. Epcot is a necessary part to a complete Walt Disney World trip, especially during any one of the fabulous festivals. I mean, who can t love a giant golf ball!?
Epcot was the Perfect Place for My Husband and Me this evening.....
We had a delightful time...Lines were not too long! Yay! Really enjoyed the final day of the International Food and Wine Festival!
Had some tasty foods.... Absolutely love
"Dole Whip"....If you have not tried...Should be on your list! Also...saw the Great Fireworks Show @10:00pm...
What's not to love about a United States World heritage Happy Place? Beautiful, man-made picturesque. It was a blast.
WOW Fireworks all done in the evening. Great food at Germany Restaurant called Biergarten Restaurant. Music was great. Bavarian buffet. The wine was a Sweet Riesling. And my hubby had a dark beer.
My Favorite park of them all! As a kid I wanted to skip most of this park but as I have aged EPCOT has way more meaning. Especially the World Showcase. Travel has been a developing hobby of mine and there is no better place to go than ECPOT to get a small taste of each country at once.
It's Disney, so the first thing to expect is fun and blowing half a grand in one day... And changes wether you like it or not. (Bye bye childhood.)
Went with my boyfriend the other day and we absolutely had a blast. Had lunch at Teppan Edo , highly recommend.
What's your favorite land? Personally I find a little Imagination goes a long way to nostalgia and new......but you can't go wrong whatever you pick! Especially at food and wine festival time!
Epcot is my favorite theme Park in Disney World. Clean, family and pets friendly, amazing place to try delicious food from many countries, buy nice products and know about their culture, food and goods. Love the restaurants and their music. The beautiful gardens, shows and amazing decoration in Epcot make the experience unforgettable.
Wonderful theme park with plenty of amazing restaurants. You can also do some shopping and get henna art. Good fun for kids and adults. We had the greatest time there.
I went for the food and wine festival. It was great, food was delicious, and drinks were really good also. Prices were a little pricey but worth it.
On this trip we are going to miss the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival. Have seen in on past trips and it's amazing! Well worth visiting this time of year.
We love Epcot and visit almost every year! Epcot has great attractions and amazing food but fewer amusement rides than the other Disney parks. However, the Frozen ride is a big draw. It's a pretty park with excellent landscaping, wide open spaces, and beautiful views. The lake at the center of the World Showcase is gorgeous on a sunny day and at sunset. Epcot is usually a little less crowded than the other three Disney parks. My wife and I love shopping in the different pavilions of the World Showcase. Japan is one of our favorite stops for the imported toys and snacks. We love the ambiance at the Mexico pavilion restaurant. The steakhouse in the Canada pavilion, Le Cellier, has some of the best food in Disney World. My wife and I try to go for our wedding anniversary when we can. At the time of this writing, new attractions and rides are being added to Epcot as Disney executes an extensive and expensive update to the park.
Honestly... Epcot is like the festival of construction right now, I can't believe they still charging the same price... really? Even test track is closed, but...today was a beautiful day after all !
Out of all the disney parks this one is my favorite. All the different country's all the different foods and places to eat. You get to have a taste of the world and never leave the good old USA. Disney puts so much into its shows and themes this place is a must. Food and wine is the best time of the year to go. You have to try the fish and chips at the rose and crown and if you dont go to the all you can eat in Germany your really missing out.
I found that this is a very kids educational and friendly place! The level of details to the different countries is uncanny! Also.... the Soaring ride is highly recommended! Be prepared for a very very very long queue even with Fast Pass!
Walt Disney World Epcot is famous for plenty of futuristic world developments. The first to build a giant sphere. The park has space ship reality roller coasters. One thing you will realize is the examples of science working visiting space. Epcot was the forerunner in showing everyone what was happening outside our planet. Epcot also expands on the World continents. You can walk around Epcot and visit several famous countries.
Enjoy the native food of all nations.
Had a blast at epcot! Met great characters! Fireworks were amazing!
Epcot at Walt Disney World was the best experience of my entire life. I traveled to 11 different countries in a day and experienced culture (aka drank) delicious expensive beverages. I have no regrets.
When it is said the happiest place on Earth, they are right!
Under construction right now so there is alittle bit more walking but food and wine is fun to walk around the countries , great photo ops ,and figment is a must every time
This park is very relaxing but you can also find something somewhere to keep you entertained. The food in the different countries has plenty to offer...anyone. The rides are fun for all ages. The shows are entertaining and some are incredible. Epcot has different events throughout the year, go check out one and come visit. In our experience the cast members are incredible!
Possibly my favorite park on property! Something for everyone! Best food around, easy to find character meet and greets, fun rides for all ages, no so crazy as MK! Laid back yet classy place of the future! Explore Walts dream and immerse yourself in each country! Stop, look, taste, smell and try everything!!!
A place for all family members to enjoy, there is so much to see your legs get tired of walking by the end of the day and you still miss stuff, Epcot itself needs like two days to view and enjoy completely!! These are just a very small taste of the wonders that you will find there a sample of every country, we have more than 200 pictures of things to see and stuff to do, rides to visit, etc. Nah two days are not enough ROFL!! Enjoy...
The park is nicely manicured, but brutally hot on a sunny day . Bring a hat or two and one of those personal misting fans and don t forget to the sunscreen.
Epcot was okay very huge lines not much to do for an adult just waiting in lines all day
The world showcase is beautiful and the variety of foods is fantastic! Looove Soarin'
Out of the WDW Resorts parks, to be honest, wasn't too interedted but this visit msde me change my mind completly. It was just great and lots to learn.
Best park especially for adults. Flower, garden festival is beautiful and a must see. Kids will have a blast at the little playground that is temporarily setup just for the festival.
Love Epcot! Had a delicious dinner in Canada. Looking forward to coming home again in October.
Anything Disney touches is magical and this is no exception. I've been before, but going as an adult really opened my eyes to how much detail is put into the park. Like other parts, I highly recommend fast pass to avoid long lines. That means planning months in advance. Fast Track was down for refurbishment when I visited, but Epcot still has so much to offer. My recommendation is doing the world tour first and have your rides scheduled later in the day. I loved France and Morocco a lot. I was on a shorter stay and I'd definitely dedicate a full day to this park to fully experience it. Otherwise, you will have to cut corners.
The best place to go during Covid at WDW. Mostly AP holders and otyher locals, who seem genuinely pleased to get out of the house in a relatively safe environment. While live entertainment is light, as one would expect, world showcase is largely unaffected by social distancing needs, being so large, and the opportunities to eat and drink are welcome.
Even with all the construction had a great time. Loved the new Eagle BBQ at the American pavilion. All the rides were great and saw a great performance by the Jamminators!
The people are friendly here they're very knowledgeable and they love their job and what they do I would definitely recommend anybody coming to Florida on vacation or if you are Florida resident to save up and come to Epcot.
We always love spending time at EPCOT! With this being an adults only trip to #waltdisneyworld we were able to have a really fun day and evening of drinking and eating around the world. We tried something from everywhere and quite a bit in Germany.
All around the world we found wonderful snacks, like the steak from Canada. Delicious beers in Germany. Tasty baguettes from France.
I wish I would have taken more food pictures. I'll update the post when I have more.
You can spend a lot of time here, especially when spending it with the people you love, having a great time!
#happiestplaceonearth
First time at epcot and I happened to be there for the food and wine festival. Prices are OUTRAGEOUS, but I was drunk with a credit card by 11am.i didn't mind it.
Be prepared to walk a lot, and if you like to walk then this is your thing. I loved it here it was so much fun but my feet were absolutely killing me by the time we were almost do so I skipped out on some of the last rides there. Theres a lot of reasonably priced things here which is a plus. The rides they do have are fun and it's cool to see all the different countries.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THE PLACE. Lines can be long and it's pricey cause cooperate capitalism but it's amazing and well worth it. 4 stars only because it's so expensive. The rides are fun for adults and kids.
Epcot - by far the best of the Disney Parks. Everything is just wonderful. Be sure to try the Chevrolet experience. It s called Test Track - utterly superb.
And also make sure you walk the entire showcase and try the oyster opening n the Japan Section.
Such a wonderful day
Always enjoy my visits to Epcot. Crowds were not bad at all but my visit was a Tuesday. Most of the food booths were open and then de wait times were mostly less than an hour or so
Welcome to Disney s grown-up theme park. There are lots of character meet and greets for the kids but this park is mainly for the adults it s about food drink and it s about experiencing the world in a microenvironment.
One of the best things about this area is whatever part of the world you happen to be in inside Epcot the staff in that area are actually from those countries. For example, if you re in GermanyAll the folks are speaking to our from Germany. They do speak English of course but if you d like to chat to them in a foreign language that you happen to know they will gladly do so. They often greet you in their native language to help enrich the experience which I find very fun.
There is usually Taste Shacks, for lack of a better term, put all throughout the park that you can try fair from those countries. They offer 3 to 4 different types of food to try and often 2 to 3 different kinds of drink or alcohol to try. There are also some shacks that are drink specific such as a certain brand of beer or cider or wine. Though these are only done during the food and wine festival.
There are also sit down restaurants but those can be a little pricey, however the food is very much worth the cost.
The Flowers are still so beautiful from the Flower and Garden show. The park seems to be less congested these last few weeks of May which was awesome! Ride and food ques are minimal which was a bonus. The boat ride in Mexico was fun, similar to It s a Small World in the Magic Kingdom. It is also a great escape from the heat and a chance to cool down inside for a short time. Margaritas and chips are the bomb inside also. Definitely need to stop in and check it out
A little awkward right now with all of the main area under construction - a bit of a maze to figure out, but amazing nonetheless! Had an awesome time at Food & Wine! Spent two whole days here walking around everywhere! Kids and parents loved it!
Epcot is really an awesome place it's on top of my Disney list of parks, we we're here 10years ago and it feels better this time around. The rides have some newness, the pavilions are great the fireworks show was spectacular with the holiday endings it's worth the price of admission by itself. We went with a 4year old and had no trouble finding things to do and everyone had fun. Cants say enough good things about this place.
A great place normally but the construction going on makes it look like a mess.
Epcot is definitely my favorite park of the Disney parks. And yes, I know everyone has their favorite, but Epcot is just wonderful this time of year. The Mrs and I have annual passes so we go with our boy or friends all the time, especially during food and wine, festival of the arts, and the flower and garden show. I basically go for the food because the portions of alcohol are a little small for the price, but to each own, really. The rides and features of the park are currently being updated, and definitely needed it here and there, so bare with Disney for the time being. Just go and enjoy what Epcot has to offer you!
Even though covid 19 is going on they are beyond clean and taking the right steps.
This park use to be my favorite, just be weary of purchasing reservation tickets online and make sure that it specifies epcot. Apparently I made that mistake and was directed to stand in the customer service line which ended up being the longest line I had to stand in that day. It would seem that there were a lot of other people who made the same mistake. When it was finally my turn I was given the option for a refund. After telling them that I was the only one in my family that was not able to get in, they told me I can wait until someone cancels their reservations, luckily someone did. If only the reservation website was easier to understand I am sure many families would not have to go through the same hassle and time wasted.
Right now Epcot is going through a massive transformation, so definitely be aware of that and use the My Disney Experience app to stay abreast of what s open and what s not. That all being said from the ashes a mighty Phoenix will rise.
Epcot Center on a beautiful sunny day in the middle of the week during the Food and Wine Festival .... Think about that! Outside, spread out, fresh air absolutely wonderful! The most Pleasant trip to Epcot I've had in 10 years at least. A little busy with more people than I anticipated but so what, you have to give to get. Well worth it, and who misses a day at work when you can be an Epcot Center.
One of the most iconic parks in the world. Great food, awesome rides, and so many things to do! Test track, mission Space, and sorin are a must! Food and wine festival is our favorite time to go, but this time we did the holiday festival and the food, cookies, and drinks were amazing.
Great time by all. Soaring around the world was a super fun ride. Deep fried Turkey Legs Good Too.
The rides at Epcot were very delightful and worth going to. The individual countries are really fascinating. Visually, Morocco was one of my favorites. However there are some bottleneck issues on this park, especially when trying to explore the different countries. There were point where the streets seemed to narrow and crowds would come to a standstill. Despite this, the park is worth going to, especially if you plan on dining at the different restaurants.
We went a week before Christmas 2019 and it was my least favourite of the 4 parks. Saying that it s still Disney so it s lots of fun! Visiting all of the countries was really great but when it comes to the rides, these are really outdated and some just really boring. We had a 9 year old with us and discovered an interactive app that Disney created for kids to use around Epcot. It was fun and he enjoyed looking for specific areas he had to find in order to proceed on his mission . Each step kept him interested because upon pressing a button on his phone there was a light or a sound coming out of an item you would otherwise not even know did that. I would say the Mexico mission was the most fun so make sure to check it out when you go!
the Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida. It is owned and operated by The Walt Disney Company through its Parks, Experiences and Products division. Inspired by an unrealized concept developed by Walt Disney, the park opened on October 1, 1982, as EPCOT Center, and was the second of four theme parks built at Walt Disney World, after the Magic Kingdom. Spanning 305[3] acres (1.23 km2), more than twice the size of the Magic Kingdom park, Epcot is dedicated to the celebration of human achievement, namely technological innovation and international culture, and is often referred to as a "permanent world's fair".
It's nice when the crowds are down. To often it's nearly impossible to get around and really enjoy the sights.
The concerts they have are a nice diversion in the afternoon.
Awesome experience at the flower and garden festival beautiful! The line was long for most of the rides but definitely worth it. I definitely recommend soaring that's one of the best rides there!
We love Epcot! The attractions are geared towards the older kids but, my children loved the characters, test track, Nemo, Elsa and Anna frozen adventure, and Pixar's 3D movies!
Had a wonderful experience here and loved all the different lands.
Always entertaining but the springtime flower displays are phenomenal!
The new fireworks display is also very well done but a step down from the previous one.
The new barbecue restaurant at the American pavilion is an excellent choice for quick dining.
Was also quite pleased with Tutto Italia for dinner.
Looks really nice and neet, but quite boring if you ask me. But other than that no complaints really
Still Disney. Food and Wine festival was ok. Usually go every year, but this year it wasn't the same level or wow as it usually is.
I love epcot but my only problem is that there are no rides and they charge you full price. The food and wine festival was nice also you can stand in line and drink alcohol. That's for all of you adults.
Went here over 10 years ago as well! Very cool rides and stuff you can t find hardly anywhere else. Can t wait to go to Disney again soon!
Around the world in a day is truly possible at Epcot! We came, we ate, we loved. Everything in this place is tailored to a global encounter of the magical kind. We will return again and again.
The food and wine were fantastic! We had a great time. Till we left, and I forgot our Granddaughters gifts on my wife's wheelchair we rented.
There are many great things about Epcot. The restaurants are great. Just avoid the frozen ride. Epcot does not provide accurate wait times. We waited for a "20" minute wait for that ride but after about 35 minutes when we were not even close to the front of the ride they shut down for cleaning. Sanitization is necessary, I get that, but it should be built into the anticipated wait time. We had a reservation at a restaurant so we left. We went back and waited 90 minutes for a "45 minute line". The problem is that when the park is only open for 8 hours, 25% of my time was devoted to that line. I had to hurry through the rest of the park, missing out on things and feeling rushed. Guest relations was apologetic, I received apologies from Disney, but that doesn't fix the fact that I spent $100 for an experience that could have easily been much more enjoyable if only Disney was more accurate with their information.
Food is great other than that
Ridding a bike is more fun
Great spot to explore several countries and grab some great food and drinks!
I just love this place. Having it with less people around just allowed us to see and do so much more! Must say, we didn't enjoy wearing mask outdoors but it was still great to be in EPCOT. Saw Mary Poppins for the first time in a London garden and she was marvelous! EPCOT is just a wonderful park!
Amazing place to visit. The tour around the world is stunning and the food is top notch. Quite expensive tho... one person can very easily hit 70 to 80 dollars.
Japan is my favorite restaurant there. All the others I can live without but the food outside in the huts are delicious! Should be more Disney characters for fun but due to COVID they had to limit that.
First time visiting Disney World. We went to three parks in three days and Disney did not disappoint. It was a magical experience! In Epcot the ride Soarin' is a must. Everyone was so friendly, helpful and pleasant. The Flower & Garden Festival is currently taking place at Epcot until June 3, 2019. The Garden Grill Restaurant was quite good. Very friendly service but like everything else fairly expensive.
Really needs an update. Soarin still best ride i Disney imo. Outside of that, very little to tout as most the rides are old and in need of updates (spaceship earth/3 cabelleros/figment.) Frozen line was always 90 mins so did not get to see. International Village is always amazing and i never seem to get tired of it. Enjoyable still, but looking forward to the updates.
Out of all the places on WDW property, I think EPCOT has been the park to bring the most cultural diversity to Disney World. The Festival Of The Arts, the Food and Wine Festival and The Flower and Garden Festival along with others. So if you have Never been, your Way over due. Go check it and have fun.
Lots of food options and knick knacks from around the globe. Space Center is very interesting. Good to go early. They have festivals such as art (currently) and wine. And food pairings.
I haven't been here in almost 15years. I came back for 2 days to see Illuminations Reflections of Earth and Spaceship Earth. Illuminations ends in September and Spaceship Earth is closing for a 2year renovation at the end of the year. So I More
Epcot is a lot of fun! So many ever changing things to do and see at each pavilion!
Epcot is amazing, especially for adults. You won't find such a great mix of culture, rides, food and alcohol probably anywhere in the state of Florida.
WOW! The immersion in every area of the park is unmatched. A must visit for any Orlando visitors. Food was amazing, staff/characters on point, rides and countries were accurate. Tons of pictures below:)
All of the Disney parks are great places for the entire family. My favorite part is how my toddler can ride so many rides. Her favorite at Epcot was the frozen ride. The Food and Wine festival is happening right now, and the options are so varied and fun. More vegan options would be better, but the cafeteria at Epcot has options for vegans!
The best of everything. You feel like you're touring the world and eating different cuisines while going on rides and being entertained the Disney way. We were there for the food and arts festival so there were even more foods to try and lots of beautiful and different art to view. It also took me down memory lane, the first time coming to Epcot, and my experiences in traveling to some of the countries spot lighted at Epcot.
Good for most of a day. Mission Space is cool. Food is better than the usual amusement park fare.
Really miss illumination show. Never missed it, been there 8 times! In our 70's now. My husband is very sick so may never make it to the new show. But we have such wonderful memories and can always UTUBE illumination!!
