| Sunkissed tip; Just like the other parks, get an early start to Epcot, and remember have a good breakfast before you leave your accommodation. This will start your day well. |
Arriving at
Epcot!
This depends on where you are traveling from. If you are staying at a Disney resort no worries your transport will be available from your resort area.Will you be traveling by car? Once again this will depend on where you are traveling from using the I4, 192, Osceola parkway etc. All these roads do converge into Disney’s road system which will take you to Epcot please see our map section. Follow the road signs which clearly mark which theme park you require.
Once you arrive at the main entrance a parking fee is charged; $8-$10 dollars (subject to change) and you will be directed to your parking area, again just like the other parks remember your parking spot: look at the sign at the end of your row Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Winnie etc.
Remember you can park at the ‘Magic Kingdom’ and use the monorail to travel to Epcot, this allows flexibility between the parks if you want to visit both in a day.Walk or take a tram ride to the entrance at Epcot and make sure your tickets are ready to show…bag searches will be carried out.
If you've decided to hire a locker or pushchair (stroller) you will find the rental shack just inside the park entrance for strollers. For the lockers, go right of the base of Space Ship Earth, near the restrooms.
Future World
Epcot!
The first sights that will great you is the fantastic Spaceship Earth surrounded by colorful gardens which take you into Future World. If the crowds are not too heavy take a ride on Spaceship Earth and explore the world of communications. If not use your Fastpass and return later before you enter the World Showcase.
If you have the thrill seekers with you make your way round to Mission Space and Test Track before it get’s to busy (height restrictions do apply starting from 102cm Test Track and 112cm Mission Space) these two rides do offer Fastpass
Not to worried about the thrill rides? Then make your way over to the Universe of Energy building and take a fun ride through history with Ellen’s Energy Adventure starring one of America’s favorite comedians Ellen DeGeneres.
Once you come out head over to Innovations A good place to stop for drinks or some food if required and enjoy the up to date technology on offer ’time to show up the parents’, and watch the fantastic outside Water Fountain display live to music.
After all that excitement move over to the Living Seas building, and you will be nothing but impressed with one of the largest man-made ocean environments and travel deep to the ocean floor to discover incredible creatures (you will need your cameras for this one) and don’t forget Turtle Talk with Crush. This is a brilliant, interactive show with Crush the turtle from Finding Nemo; all the family will love this.The Coral reef restaurant is excellent. After the Living Seas visit Living with the Land, Fastpass is available here, and take a sail boat ride through the marvels of nature, visit working greenhouses and a real fishery, this gives you a chance to sit down for ten minutes and charge those batteries, remember you still have the World Showcase to visit yet.
Drop in to the rotating Chip & Dale's Harvest Feast restaurant located on the top level of the pavilion, or try the Sunshine Season's restaurant on the lower level.
Next on your places to visit is the fantastic new ride to Epcot Soarin, you and the family will love this ride as you explore the wonders of California by flight, ask about ages and height restrictions before hand.
If Soarin is not for you, head over to the Imagination building to join Figment and let your imaginations run away with you, this is fun for all the family, and to finish off you must go and see Honey I Shrunk the Kids. This 3-D show is hilarious and still stands proud at Epcot over the years we have been traveling here, everybody’s favorite.
Tired yet?… well it’s time to leave Future World and head on over to World Showcase, so it’s back to the Water Fountain and turn right and head for the bridge over to the lagoon. Click below…See you there.We will keep updating this page via our
