I love coming here and experiencing all of the different foods. The rides are always fun and this is one of my favorite Disney parks!! The way they try to keep things authentic in the various countries really makes a difference. Plus the food at the art festival and the food and wine festival is just amazing!!

Epcot is one of my favorite places in all of Florida. It really is a fun venue full of things to do. Seriously, it is hard to be bored there. They have both the food and wine festival in the fall...Yum, and the flower and garden festival in the spring. Both events are filled with sights and sounds that make the experience exciting almost like an adventure every time I go. Were else can you travel the world in less then a mile, eating, and watching and listening to the sights, sounds and smells that stimulate the imagination.

The 2019 Food and Wine Festival is under way, starting 8/29 and going until 11-23. We moved to the greater Orlando area and have just completed our 3rd month here. This was our first trip to a Disney park as the summer heat was too prohibitive. We bought annual passes and hit Epcot with our daughter and her family. What a GREAT day! Food from more than 30 global marketplaces (Epcot normally has only 11 countries). There are special food and beverage pairings, concerts, dining experiences, shows, we had a great time! I will prepare you that the sample beer is 4 ounces and $4.50, my husband couldn t accept that being a Brit! We also went to the Finding Nemo ride with the grandkids and they got to see an underwater diver, fish, sharks and stingrays, and more!
Returned to Epcot and got to view the new fireworks show amazing!! Drones! Sparkles! Music! It is a must see!

I had an ok time, my family had gone on the first day of our trip and only found issues. Guest services made it up to us but we found the other parks to be nicer, and more friendly in general. Probably won't go back to Epcot unless they add something spectacular. I would say go to Hollywood Studios and the Magic Kingdom over Epcot

Epcot is a great park if you are looking to travel the world! They have an attraction called around the world where you walk around a pond and every block is a different part of the world. It has cities like France, China, Japan, Germany, and many more. It's a great place to take young children but it's also a great place and very entertaining for adults. Everything is very expensive, but you can meet the characters and even take pictures with them for free! (Obviously, you have to purchase admission to the park to find them first!) Definitely recommend if you are looking for a day or two to experience some Disney magic!

As a child this was my least favorite of the Disney world parks. As an adult this has become my favorite. Mainly because of the world showcase. There is always events going on and different musical acts playing throughout the day. This also has some of the best food options in the theme parks

A really good park. I really enjoyed the Japan zone. When I visited the park I couldn't do any ride because I had an sprain, still I had a really good time. Tried some gourmet restaurants. Ate at the Morroco one.

Epcot was one of the parks at Disney world that I wasn't sure how much time we'd want to spend. I figured we'd do soarin for sure, but didn't know what the kids would enjoy as much. For our 2 girls under 6, they had a great time at the Nemo and friends area which has some fun interactive Nemo themed rides as well as a giant aquarium. Dolphins, sharks, fish and stingrays can all be seen.

In addition to the fun things to do in terms of rides, we really enjoyed the world showcase. Each country has unique offerings such as food, desserts, drinks (alcoholic too!) and interactive activities. Some countries have rides, some have shows, but each has something unique that can be more fun than expected. We ended up returning to this area just to have another great meal for supper. Mexico, Morocco and China all had some wonderful food options. Some may be pricey, but that's kind of part of Disney too unfortunately.

My family and I enjoyed everything about this place. Epcot has a lot to offer. From great food to tasty desserts, amazing gift shops, and wonderful sights to be seen. It truly is a place where both adults and children can enjoy.

Epcot is my happy place. Love everything about visiting, including the views, the countries and the food. Go for the Food and Wine festival, it's amazing. Make sure you get fastoasses for your rides and be prepared for unpredictable weather.

Great variety of beers, try the black and tan at the pub in England, you will not regret it. The rides were okay, make sure you get fast passes for the popular ones. Duh...anyhow, cheers to your visit and bring plenty of funds, and expect to spend it all.

Came here during the food and wine festival. Had an amazing experience everywhere we went. A bit disappointed that we couldn't get served alcohol because we only had one form of ID instead of two, but judging by the size of the drinks and how much they cost it was probably for the best! One of the better parks.

Epcot Center has been one of my favorite places to visit because of the multi national representation of countries. However, I was sad not to see Sweden near Norway as it used to be in the 90's. Also, I was extremely disappointed to find there is no more gondola ride in Italy. This was one of things I always looked forward to. The park grounds are supremely maintained by friendly staff.

Very fun place to see. More adult oriented but still kid friendly. We got to see Simple Plan on stage. The fireworks show is a must every night. Neat restaurants and bars from around the world.
Try the Soaring around the world.

I really enjoyed myself. We went for the food and wine festival. Let me tell you. They are not playing when it comes to face coverage. I seen people walking around reminding people to keep their face covered when not eating or drinking. They was doing it in a friendly manner. My first time at epcot. We plan to go back next year. Just a few pictures of some of the different food.

Couldn't ask for more as an adult looking for a getaway fun experience. Bring your own snacks and water, there's nowhere to fill up your water bottle side from a bathroom sink so stock up if you want to save $5 a bottle. Food was great and so were the shows, as an adult I would do this again over Magic Kingdom.. Stay for the light and fire works display... It was great!

We went several years ago and it was just as fun this time as it was then. The weather was horrible until lunch and then it started to clear up. Lots of food, shopping, art, and sightseeing. Our favorite countries were China, Morocco and France.

As an EPCOT Center enthusiast and from the bottom of my heart, I don't care what the new EPCOT will look like for as long as I live. EPCOT fanatics can enjoy the new "Demolished Future World" for all I care. And I will call the new "Future World" a "Demolished Future World" from now on. No second chances.

Epcot is a wonderful world of tomorrow combined with so much to discover about the 11 countries featured in the world showcase. You barely notice the construction going on over by Test Track where the new Guardians of the Galaxy ride is being built and as long as you are up for a ton of walking the is so so much to look at and learn about in the World Showcase. Each of the 11 countries have people from those countries working there. If you have specific questions or would like to learn something new about any of them the cast members are always willing to teach you. The best thing about Epcot is getting to try all the amazing varieties of foods. The best plan is to pace yourself because eating around the world is a really great experience!

A truly outstanding park geared more for older children and adults. Soaring is the most exciting ride. The international pavilions are a treat for the senses. Numerous food and wine booths are delightful.

Although this is not as popular as other Disney theme parks, there is still so much to do an see. Our day started super early at 830, approximately 30 minute before rope drop. We were lucky to come on a Wednesday when it was less busy. One important note is plan early if you want to see everything. Parking was 25 dollars and the earlier you get there the better chance of getting spot closer to the front, but don't expect row 1 as those are reserved for premium parking. To save time, buy your ticket online and get your card when you get to the gate at the regular ticket booth. Remember to download the Disney iphone/android app which gives you wait list time for each ride and also allows you to use your fast pass +. You get three initially. For your first choice you are only allowed one of the three (Soaring, Frozen ride, or Test Drive). I would recommend reading online articles about planning a one day itinerary if you plan to see everything. The park itself is spectacular and you have so many chances to shoot amazing pictures that are so hard to describe so just check out the examples below. Overall park staff is friendly, but not as magical as I would expect. Wait times were reasonable at least on the day I was there, but read the individual reviews on Yelp to determine if each part is worth it. Food was good and only overpriced in the sit down restaurants. Finally, the laser/fireworks show is a most see!

Epcot is always a magical and happy place to be!! Has the best food out of all the parks. Mexico and Italy always have great food and wine and ice cream is wonderful in France. The frozen sake in Japan was awesome too! We come as often as we can. Although it appears as though they don't have a ton of recycling locations, a staff member told me they go through all the trash to filter out the recycling which is awesome!!! Another A+++ for switching to all bio degradable straws!

Great theme park. Was really cool to get to walk around all the different 'cities' and experience lots of different cultures in one place. There are plenty of places to see and lots of food to try. Some of the rides are great as well. Mission space and Test Track are particularly enjoyable. Make sure you download the app and try to get fast passes for these if possible. Otherwise you may end up queuing a bit. Soaring around the world is also worth checking out as its a bit different to the other standard rides.

I love EPCOT, and especially love the food and wine festival. Unfortunately, I can't give EPCOT five stars because I realized something as I was melting in the sun on my last visit - the world showcase just doesn't have quite enough shade.

Had some of The Food and Wine Festival offerings (The frozen apple pie drink was BEYOND DELICIOUSNESS AND THEN SOME!). My husband's wish to take me on "Spaceship Earth" came true and I was GLAD that it did (andso was he)!
Ate at "Garden Grill" and it was also BEYOND DELICIOUSNESS AND THEN SOME!
Got to see "Farmer Mickey", "Pluto" and "Chip and Dale" but unfortunately due to Covid-19 rules they couldn't come directly to us but they were above us.
Went to "Living With The Land" and found that interesting.
Had a chance to ride "Frozen Everafter" and took it because eventhough it was charming, I wouldn't wait about three hours for it (well maybe if we had children who were interested in "Frozen").
Next trip going to do two days in EPCOT.

I have been to the other Disney parks but never have been to Epcot. It was a very enjoyable visit and wasn't overly crowded. There is some more educational and there are plenty of places to eat. In a future visit I would look more at eating at the international food places. There are plenty of places to cool off on a hot day.

This is a great park that is going through some changes and was always meant to do that.

The World Showcase is the back part of the park that has pavilions representing different countries that are staffed with people from those countries. It gives a glimpse into some customs, traditions, products and people from different cultures. In my opinion, Japan, Mexico, Italy and France have the best restaurants and pavilions. Brazil is being added as I type this, though it was just announced. The best time for this area is the annual Food & Wine festival that is held in the fall. Disney brings in even more kiosks to represent even more countries and their food. Best bar is La Cava del Tequila specializing in (surprise) tequila, best restaurant is a toss up between Tokyo Dining (Japan) and Chefs de France (France) and the best pavilion for entertainment is America. Here Voices of Liberty perform before you get a chance to see the American Adventure, which is a audio-animatronic and movie show on the history of the US.

The front part is Future World, but that is changing soon and so are the pavilions. Currently, The Living Seas is filled with enormous aquariums that is themed to Finding Nemo. Adults can skip the ride and go right in to see beautiful seaife. Next is The Land pavilion which features Soarin' Around the World, great ride that takes through different places throughout the world, and Living with the Land, a slow boat ride through their active greenhouse and aquaponics farms. Journey into Imagination is next and is a shadow of itself since it lost its Kodak sponsorship. Still a hokey-fun ride to meet Figment. On the other side, is Test Track sponsored by GM and allows you to design, build and rank your design against others. This is the "fastest ride" in WDW that reaches almost 60 mph in an open vehicle. Mission Space is next and is a 4D experience of space simulator. You can ride the intense version or the mild for those that are claustrophobic or have motion sickness. They are adding a restaurant here soon. Last is the "golf ball" geodesic globe. It currently has a ride through the history of man and linguistics. This will be changing soon to, which could be refreshing.

Overall, currently, it is my favorite park for diverse food and people. It also has the best chance for further development as long as they limit the movie crossovers.

Best park EPCOT often seems to be overshadowed by other glitzier Disney parks but to me it's one of my favourites. The reason for this is that due to the size of the park and the nature of the attractions it's less frantic. This means you can have all of the fun without any of the stress that can come with the other parks.Firstly, it has excellent rides. Soarin' Around The World and Test Track have to be up there with the best Disney has to offer. Clever use of fast pasess also mean that you can get on these rides quickly and easily. Other rides include Mission Space and the Frozen Ever After rides. Queue times vary but can often be accessed quickly at the right time of day.
The World Showcase is a unique experience enabling you to visit 11 countries in a couple of hours. Some parts are a little cheesy but ovearll it is a unique experience.
The Food is the best available at Disney with authentic food from each of the available countries. We had Tepenyaki for lunch and Mexican for dinner. This can get a little pricey but definitely worth it.
There are some great shows including the Guardians of The Galaxy Awesome mix Live that will get you dancing. Finally the character experience was superb. Meeting Elsa in Norway, Snow White in Germany, Mulan in China and Alice in Wonderland in England really added to it's charm, They wre also some of the best wait times we had.
Love this park. Hope you do too if you like review click like,thank you

Had a blast at Epcot with the family. The park was a little more crowded than we would have liked, but we were able to get everything done we wanted to while we were there. The food was great, and easily the best part of our visit. I wish we had more meals to eat so we could have tried more things.

An old classic, haven t being into Epcot in 15 years, and although much has change, some things remind the same. A good experience, although I believe the fast pass system needs some more improvement. I remember better...

This is a good place to visit and has plenty of shops and places to eat and try food from around the world. There are a few rides and simulators here which can keep you entertained for a little while.
The firework show at the end of the night is fairly spectacular.
The prices are expensive which is what you would expect at any theme park.

Fantastic as usual. This is Disney we are talking about. There's nothing wrong about Disney ever. Guest relations could use a much needed computer update considering they are using programs from 1995 but the overall experience at this park was exceptional.

Epcot was our last stop for the day. We got there literally five minutes before closing and they still allowed us to go on the ride up the Epcot Dome. It was Epic I do not regret running there to make it before closing time. The wax figures as the ride takes you through the decades were so realistic, at first I thought they were human models! It s a moderate paced ride so it s great for toddlers and older adults and any age really!

Love Epcot, I have been to this park twice already. So much to see, I think it will take me a few visits to explore everything. The frozen ride is great. We also went on a Soaring ride. The Jumbo turkey leg never disappoints. Checkout the big heron bird free loader, eating scraps...

I also must admit that the hydroponics and farm exhibit is beyond impressive to me. I think that is one of the best things at Epcot. They even have a small Jackfruit tree in there.

Everything is expensive. Rides are only for young kids and fast passes are needed for anything that might be good. Henna artist was good but not a good idea for walking around the park. And they give you no instruction.

Have been going to EPCOT since it opened and it was time to make some changes. That said, the visitor experience is impacted by all the construction going on from the entrance to World Showcase. Couldn't they have phased in the changes instead of doing everything at once? We have annual passes and will continue to visit all the parks during the evolution.

Epcot is an Amazing Park. Not alot of rides at this park though. Epcot is not for the thrill seeker, one thriller ride which is the Test Track Ride. This is the park to go to and taste different cultures from around the world food. When you go to Epcot be prepared to take it nice and slow and just enjoy the flavors from around the world.

Its normally not as busy as the other Disney theme parks. More retro and a little outdated but it is still fun exploring all the countries. Flower festival was in full bloom so it was fun seeing all the characters all leafy like that. Kids enjoyed getting hand drawn cards from each country.

I love Epcot. Great places to enjoy new dining experiences and some pretty great family friendly rides. Downside, the whole tour of the countries is quite underwhelming. Should have more experiences. There should be something that all ages could relate to that is informative and interactive at each country like America, China and Canada have.
Huge drawback has ALWAYS been Test Track. My son and I love riding it, but it has only been open twice out of the 8 times we have tried ride it because it gets shut down. I am extremely worried about the safety of any ride that has to be shut down so frequently.

Love the festivals with their food booths. Also the Skyliner is fantastic. There are 300 people in line ahead of after the close of the fireworks at Epcot. It took only about 15 minutes to get all those people loaded onto the Skyliners. it is very fast plus it makes Park hopping between Epcot and Hollywood studios so much easier. I like coming into Epcot from the international gateway between the England and France pavilions. it allows you to get over to the Norwegian pavilion and the Frozen ride sooner than those coming from the main entrance.

Right now there is a lot of construction going on around EPCOT. It will be much better in a couple of years after the expansion is complete. Lots to do and see but for kids this is not a thrill a minute place. They would be better off in anyone of the other three parks.

Old rides, plenty of construction that seems that it will take forever to finish and I think they will never have a old fashion rollers coaster. But I don't know why this is my 3rd time on this park.. I need other friends and family..

I generically try not to go to places where everyone goes to on vacation because I like to try new things but in this case, this was different. I couldn't believe the service how GOOD these people were! I mean, I know they're supposed to tell you have a magical day and all but I have had multiple experiences in this hotel alone that would make me want to come back again and again. From the hospitality to a moment where my wife had to go to the emergency room and they paid for the ambulance and paramedics and a taxi back to the lodge once we were done, to even coming and knocking on our door and checking up on my wife every morning after for 2 or 3 days just to see how she was doing and if there was anything they could do to help. If we were to plan another trip to Disney, this is where we're going every single time from now till forever! Best vacation in a long time!!
