Epcot

I didn't go to the EPCOT evening show due to scheduling issues. Later, I heard from my Airbnb landlord that the show was quite beautiful with lasers and other things, so I'll go and see it when I have the chance.

Orlando Disneyland is the largest Disneyland in the world and consists of five major parks. You can buy tickets for each park separately or buy a package. Another option is to buy tickets plus accommodation in the park, which is more cost-effective.

Orlando Disneyland has four parks, but we only chose Epcot because my mom had been to Disneyland in Japan, and Epcot is unique to Orlando. I wouldn't recommend spending the entire day there; there are too few rides, and the buildings aren't particularly appealing. You might want to consider a two-park trip, with this one being the last.

Epcot is pretty much the theme of Tomorrowland. It's half amusement park, half a World Expo-style attraction, with buildings from many different countries and restaurants. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it. There wasn't much to do there. It took almost a morning to get through. Seeing so many different buildings is a real struggle in the summer.

The water fireworks were amazing! They were even more romantic than the castle ones! The song made me want to cry. The fireworks were probably my favorite attraction at Epcot! The others, like Soaring Over the Horizon, were also great, and the lines weren't long.

Epcot opens at 9am, but since we were staying at the park hotel, which had an extra hour, we were able to enter the park an hour earlier.

When we arrived at the park around 8:30, we saw a long line of people waiting to get in. Disneyland guests lined up in a separate line.

Upon entering, you'll be greeted by a large fountain (fountain view), the centerpiece of the park. To the west, you'll find the Soaring, the Education Center, and a theater. To the east, you'll find the Science Center, comprised of the Mission Space and the Test Track. Further south, you'll find a large lake (world showcase). Surrounding the lake are pavilions from various countries.

Epcot is my second favorite theme park, second only to Magic Kingdom. The park's routes are clear, and its facilities are just right for a day's visit. It offers thrilling rides, memorable stories, and thought-provoking educational content.

Epcot is the closest Disneyland park to our hotel. Overall, the rides are quite limited, with half the area dedicated to recreational facilities and the other half to pavilions featuring various countries, reminiscent of a World Expo. You can enjoy most of the rides, but one particularly impressive one is a spaceship experience of weightlessness. You can choose between two locations: Earth and Mars. I enjoyed the Earth ride quite a bit, and I'm sure you'll enjoy the Mars ride.

Each country-specific pavilion sells small, locally-produced products, including food and daily necessities. My boyfriend absolutely loves browsing these small shops, so he had a blast shopping. The specific countries I remember were: the UK, France, Germany, Italy, China, Japan, Kenya, and Morocco. Each pavilion features unique architecture, perfect for photos, but the Japanese pavilion certainly has the best style. There are cartoon character photo opportunities in each pavilion, and the one that particularly impressed me was the Snow White figure at the entrance to the German pavilion. It's incredibly realistic, but I missed the ride twice. The Snow Queen ride at Epcot is also fantastic.

We got three fast passes: spaceship earth, mission space, soarin

Generally speaking, there aren't many popular attractions in Epcot. The only one I didn't get was the test track, so I went straight to that one to queue up. It still took about 10 minutes to get in, but I personally think it was the most fun one. The other attractions were more relaxing, and it was quite pleasant to just sit and watch. There was a Coca-Cola store at the entrance where you could try all kinds of strange flavors of soda for free. We stayed there for quite a while, hahahahahahahaha

Tips: The various national pavilions generally open at 11 a.m., so you can visit them in the afternoon (we went at 10 a.m. and it was completely deserted) and eat there. I highly recommend the Mexico Pavilion; it's very Coco movie-esque, with boat tours and delicious restaurants! The wait was only 5 minutes (there were only two of us, but if you have a larger group, you can make reservations on the app in advance). The sauces were both sweet and sour, very appetizing, and the portions were generous. At around $20 per person, it was a fantastic value!

Summary: I looked up the guide for this park right after entering, misjudging its size (it's larger than the others). I walked around it several times in the scorching sun and got a bit of a heat stroke. Don't follow my example. I was pressed for time, so I didn't really spend much time exploring the National Pavilion. I recommend getting the morning ticket for this pavilion, exploring it as soon as you enter, finishing the attractions around noon, and then exploring the National Pavilion and watching the various performances in the afternoon.

Epcot is a unique park, like a combination of a science museum and a world park. The park is divided into two parts: the main attractions are concentrated in the science museum area, while the world park area features landscapes and specialties from various countries, along with special performances and rides.

Popular projects, FP+ preferred

1. Soarin' Around the World is Shanghai Disney's Soarin' Around the World.

2. SPACE, a space flight simulation. This ride comes in two versions: orange and blue. We chose the orange version, which offers a feeling of weightlessness, hypergravity, and dizziness.

3. Frozen Ever After, the new Frozen attraction at the Norway Pavilion. Based on the waiting time, this is the one that deserves the FP+ award the most, being the only one with a waiting time exceeding 60 minutes!

4. Test Track: Design your own car and ride it to evaluate its performance. While waiting in line, you design your own car on the screen. Then, in groups of four, you board a small car and test it on the track, where you'll be scored.

5. Spaceship Earth: Our Planet. This is a science and education project. Children with good English skills can learn a lot.

6. Living with the Land, this is an agricultural science and education project.

We happened to encounter Disney's International Food Festival at Epcot. It is not held every day during the event, so you need to check the time in the app in advance and make arrangements in advance.

During the Food & Wine Festival, the park was incredibly crowded, and the unwavering goal was to maximize the number of attractions. A map shows EPCOT shaped like a figure 8, divided into two circular areas. Upon entering, Future World offers several futuristic attractions. But here's my complaint: the attractions are as far apart as Shanghai...

Test Track is a popular item at EPCOT, and you often see lines of 60 or 90 minutes long when you open the app.

IllumiNations, EPCOT's nighttime highlight, presents a spectacular display of water screens, projections, and fireworks on the lake in the center of World Showcase. The show revolves around the evolution of Earth, from chaos at the beginning of the universe to the establishment of civilization and order. The Earth in the center of the lake also slowly opens, perhaps symbolizing the mutual understanding, tolerance, and trust that develops among civilized societies through the exchange and interaction of diverse cultures.

Disney always manages to restore the most authentic cities and small towns, fully respecting history and tradition. This collision of the past and the future is the most unique charm of EPCOT.

EPCOT stands for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. The most captivating attraction is the 11 pavilions in the World Showcase: China, Mexico, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Canada, Italy, Morocco, Japan, and Norway. The 11 pavilions are incredibly detailed and lifelike, and each pavilion's cast members are all from their respective countries, making it feel like you've truly arrived. For those who enjoy exploring, shopping, and dining, EPCOT is a must-see.

Another part of EPCOT is Future World, where there are various projects that allow us to experience the future world and technology. The must-see projects are: Sorin (which is familiar to everyone and is equivalent to Soar Over the Horizon at Shanghai Disneyland), Mission Space, Test Track, etc.

EPCOT is a place similar to a World's Fair. At the center of the park is a large lake, with each country scattered around it, each occupying a piece of land. Visitors can admire the architecture, culture, and customs of different countries, as well as taste different regional foods.

This park is perfect for a leisurely stroll. I usually go in the evening. It can get a bit sunny during the day, but if you have limited time, consider going early. It's also perfect for families, especially those with children. It's a great place for both learning and entertainment—you can learn a lot. Plus, there aren't any roller coasters, so most children can enjoy it.

At the innermost part of Future World is an area resembling a World Park, with buildings showcasing various cultures, including, of course, Chinese architecture. We happened to catch a food festival, where you could sample international cuisine alongside the buildings. We've described this food festival as an American version of a temple fair.

Since it rained on my first day, I decided to go to Epcot. It's not particularly Disney-related. While I'm not a huge fan of Japan, I really enjoyed the Japan Pavilion. The exhibits and small booths had a very Japanese feel. The China Pavilion didn't have a particularly Chinese feel, at least not as good as the one at the World Expo. Many Chinese characteristics weren't well showcased to the world. Because I was pregnant, I didn't take any thrilling rides. I just looked at the various national exhibitions. It's truly huge, and I was glad I got to visit it on my first day. Each park should have its own unique show, but I only saw the American and French ones, which was a bit of a shame. Be sure to download the Disney app in advance so you can see exactly what shows are happening and when. Preparation is crucial.

I love Soarin', a must-try attraction. Remember to use FastPass.

It's beyond imagination. I didn't think it would be interesting at first, but it was the craziest place to play.

Epcot is quite unique. Each country has its own unique architecture, and each country also has its own food and beverage outlets and related products. (For example, France sells a variety of Dior and Chanel perfumes, Guerlain cosmetics, and French ice cream; Japan sells matcha snacks, tempura, and sushi; and China sells White Rabbit candy, drool-worthy candies, and Wangzai snow cakes.) It's quite novel. Different areas also feature different Disney characters, allowing you to queue up for photos. In the main area, there's Baymax from Big Hero 6 and Joy and Sadness from Inside Out; the UK has Alice, France has Belle, Norway has Elsa and Anna, China has Mulan, Germany has Snow White, and Morocco has Aladdin and Jasmin.

The highlight of the park lies in its sharp edges and prominent themes. In the Future World area, one can experience the rapid development of science and technology, and in the World Show Case area, one can experience exotic customs. From this perspective, EPCOT is still worth recommending.

A very fun amusement park! Suitable for adults or children of all ages who love fantasy! You can play many rides that you can't play in other Disneyland places! It's awesome! It is recommended to play for a day. If you use FastPass, you can have a lot of fun.

I have to go and experience the space capsule. Although I don’t actually need to operate it myself, the simulation feels great!

Epocpt is based on the concept of the future world, encompassing future lifestyles and the concept of a global village. The unique venues and performances from various countries are a hallmark of the park. It's a great place for the whole family to visit.

I happened to catch the gardening show at Epcot, and everything was green and full of vitality.

Highly recommended, the Disney version of the World Expo! ! Buildings from many countries are scaled down, perfect for taking a DSLR camera and pretending to have visited many different countries! Ahahahaha

Various future-themed games are very interesting~

A bit dated but ok in all areas.

Of the four major Disney parks, I highly recommend Epcot. Soarin is definitely worth the wait, and Testtrack is also fantastic! I recommend lining up for Soarin upon arrival, then also getting your FP reservation for Soarin so you can ride it twice!

Very high-tech and interesting, but not worth a day of fun

There are many wonderful things, such as Mars exploration

The various rides and facilities inside are super fun, and there are miniature buildings representing many countries, with restaurants based on their respective nationalities inside. It's awesome! You can even take photos with various Disney characters.

I like the French Pavilion and the Japanese Pavilion. I like soarin~~ You can read my travel notes for recommendations~~

It's a huge scenic area. I originally wanted to try American food from all over the world... But after trying food from two countries, I couldn't...

EPCOT is a combination of a science museum and a world expo, primarily for viewing. Even the attractions are mostly for viewing. Tickets are only $10 cheaper than Magic Kingdom, but the value isn't nearly as good. The most popular attraction, Soarin, simulates a flight over California. Overall, it's well worth a visit, especially with children; you'll learn a lot.

But it doesn't really feel like an amusement park, and the rides aren't very engaging. Every ride is incredibly dizzying. I felt dizzy and nauseous after riding Mission:SPACE. The same thing happened with Soarin. I find this type of thrill less satisfying than a roller coaster.

The World Expo featured pavilions from many countries, with a wide variety of merchandise for sale. The German Pavilion even sold beer, but unfortunately, I wasn't over 21 and couldn't afford to buy anything. Each pavilion had its own unique design, but the most striking ones were the Chinese, Japanese, and Mexican pavilions; they all stood out and had their own unique character. Every time I see them, I feel incredibly proud of the breadth and depth of Chinese culture!

Each attraction is imbued with a sense of technology and futuristic foresight. From roller coasters and race cars developed by visitors themselves, you can even experience a mission to Mars like an astronaut! While the lines for popular attractions can be long, they're definitely worth it!

Disneyland's product design and service are top-notch everywhere. Epcot is a collaboration between Disneyland and a technology company, adding technological elements to traditional attractions—but my family and I feel it's inferior to the traditional Magic Kingdom.

this is an amazing place for adults to play. I love it

Epcot really gave me a completely different experience of Disney. The space missions there were so cool, and they made me feel like an astronaut.

Soarin' is amazing! If you have a FastPass, I recommend taking it twice. Those afraid of heights shouldn't take it; it really feels so high up! The birds and the wind are so realistic. I also recommend Test Track; it feels like a race car, incredibly fast! Finally, I also want to give a thumbs up to the World showcase behind the lake. They've incorporated the unique characteristics and styles of each country, just like the original designs. Absolutely amazing!

It would have been a wonder to go there 20 years ago, but now it feels so outdated, with incredibly long lines for a mediocre ride.

I just passed by and didn't go in for a thorough tour. But it's still a great place to take the kids. It's a bit like the World Expo, except that EPCOT displays future technology...

This park is a bit like a World (Food) Expo, where you can eat specialties from many countries! I like the ramen in the Japanese Pavilion~

The sense of culture, design, history, and garden design are all top-notch! If you've had some energy after exploring other gardens this morning, this is a great place to relax and enjoy the scenery. It feels a bit like an Expo! Great! I spent quite a while in the Japan Pavilion. The performances, gardens, and small shops were truly eye-catching. In comparison, the China Pavilion was cold and dark, and the display and quality of the merchandise were truly disappointing...

The scenery of each country is beautiful! The French surround screen was great for experiencing French culture! The Chinese full surround screen is a standing position, but the content feels like it's from the 1960s and 1970s, which was a bit disappointing. 😞 Each country has its own unique characteristics, perfect for taking photos!

Students who like stamps must go there, you can spend a long time in the Japan Pavilion!

It looks like a small World Expo Park. If we look at it according to the original design standards, it is indeed beyond people's imagination. It still looks good now.

It's a bit like a small World Expo, with national pavilions and so on, and it feels more popular science.

It's mainly about science and technology and many national pavilions around the lake. It's not as fun as I imagined, but some of the projects are good, but there are no very exciting amusement projects, most of them are related to science and technology.

Maybe it was built a little too long and some of the items are a little outdated. The best one is soarin

I'm spending New Year's Eve here this year. Be sure to go early and book the things you want to do.

The first half of the park is filled with rides, but they're all quite peaceful and relaxing. For those looking for exciting rides, I recommend Hollywood Studios. The second half features parks from various countries, giving it a World Expo feel.

Disney's World Expo has many famous restaurants and characteristics of many countries. I will definitely come again next time!

Epcot is basically a place for shopping. It's good for taking pictures and looking at the scenery, but it's not suitable for children.

Epcot was my first stop in Orlando, and it was a place that brought both joy and sorrow. Having never been to Disneyland before, I was completely blown away. The roller coaster was my first, and I was completely blown away. The incredible 4D experience is still a memorable experience! I'm sure many people who've been there had the same high spirits as I did, exhausted but still reluctant to quit. However, few were as unlucky as I was, having my computer stolen, and the hotel refused to compensate. A word of caution: Orlando hotels are notoriously unsafe, and leaving valuables there is no guarantee!

EPCOT is the amusement park version of the World Expo. The most fun things to do are paragliding and simulating spaceships. Car racing should also be fun, but it was a pity that it rained on the day we went and couldn't be operated.

The lights at night added even more brilliant colors to Epcot. Although the weather was cold, the tourists were still enthusiastic and waited for the wonderful fireworks show at 9:30. It was really great. Accompanied by music and fireworks, the earth slowly emerged from the island in the center of the lake, revealing the eternal truth of harmony between man and nature.

My favorite thing in EPCOT is not SOARIN, but the traffic jam sponsored by CHEVROLET. It's so cool, so cool. It's the only entertainment project I rode twice (and MK's SPACE twice, haha). There are not many other entertainment projects. I rode it twice because I took up the magic hour and because I was a single rider.

The crowds thinned slightly in the evening, but the park remained bustling as darkness fell. The fireworks show didn't begin until 9:30 PM, so the couple strolled back to the Future Science Park to try out the remaining attractions they hadn't really cared about that morning. Finally, they managed to queue up for a photo with Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse before the crowds were too crowded, which was a real treat. It's also important to note that each attraction closes around 7 PM, while others remain open until around 9 PM. Please refer to the timetable you receive upon arrival. There are also electronic signs throughout the park displaying wait times and closures for attractions, so please keep an eye out for them.

Around 9:00 PM, my husband and I returned to the Expo Park's lakefront, used FastPass to gain access to the best-viewed area, and waited for the fireworks to begin! It's no exaggeration to say it was the best fireworks show I've ever seen. The creativity, lighting, music, and fireworks all meshed beautifully, creating a truly magnificent and breathtaking display. The entire show lasted just over 20 minutes, and I don't know why I was so moved the moment I saw the fireworks... I don't know what moved me...

The most iconic thing about Epcot is the big ball! Inside the ball is actually an amusement ride.

The most fun thing about this park is Soarin. There is also a large restaurant in the Soarin Hall. There are several styles of dishes to choose from. You can pay the bill together after you choose.

It is considered to be a relatively delicious and affordable meal in the entire park.

A large science museum? I'm not sure if that's the right word. Anyway, it's pretty good for popularizing knowledge. There's a really cool car ride inside.

Epcot doesn't have that many attractions. I think it's more like the World Expo, with unique architecture and food from 11 countries. The China Pavilion is the most visited, which shows how much foreigners love China. There are also acrobatic performances, which foreigners also love to watch. I feel so proud.

There will be bus information at the Epcot entrance. You can refer to this and go to the corresponding digital platform to wait for the bus.

Epcot is roughly divided into four main areas. World Showcase simulates cultural features from around the world, including Canada, France, the UK, the US, Italy, Morocco, Mexico, Japan, and China. You could spend an entire day exploring World Showcase, filled with so many interesting and novel things. Each simulated location also has a restaurant serving local food, offering a feast for the eyes and a chance to savor the local cuisine. Imagination, on the other hand, is all about fantasy, the future, and technology—a truly exciting and fun area. The Land & Soarin' area is the only area with thrilling rides. If you're looking for a little excitement in addition to sightseeing, don't miss this one.

The first place we arrived at was the Canada Pavilion. The building behind it wasn't really a Canadian building; it was a steakhouse. It was beautiful, and the prices were moderate. A steak cost about $60.

Each pavilion is infused with local cultural icons, allowing visitors to quickly learn about local history and culture. Of all the pavilions, the short film in the Canada Pavilion was the best. The accompanying song, "Canada," is etched in my mind. Later, when I visited the US Pavilion, I couldn't help but recall the melody.

Cartoon characters are everywhere~ We have arrived at the British Pavilion

There are various stations along the way where visitors can take photos with real-life cartoon characters. Photo: A princess signs an autograph for a little girl. These little girls are going crazy for the princesses. Speaking of which, Frozen was incredibly popular this year. We were originally planning to queue up at the castle to see the princesses, but we were scared off because we had to wait in line for 7-8 hours to see them. I heard that after meeting the princesses, there's a shop nearby that offers makeup and princess-like outfits. No wonder the little girls are going crazy for it. Come to think of it, isn't this the kind of treatment we often fantasized about as kids? This generation of kids is so lucky to have their dreams come true.

Next up was the French Pavilion. We were incredibly lucky today; every time we arrived at a new pavilion, a travel video was playing, eliminating the need for long waits like everyone else. France is a place I long to visit. I can't quite put my finger on it. It feels like even the air is romantic and enchanting just by being in France. That's the charm of France.

We went to EPCOT, the park is very beautiful and worth a two-day stroll. Unfortunately, we had limited time. We were quite tired after a day.

Epcot is the second attraction I visited in Orlando. On the first day, I went to Hollywood Studio. It was no exaggeration to say that I was busy from morning to night. I thought that I didn’t need to spend a whole day in Epcot, and I wanted to stay there leisurely and go back in the afternoon. Who knew that the more I visited, the more interesting it became and the more energetic I became.

Future World is divided into two parts. As you enter, you'll see some buildings that resemble a science museum. We used FP to play with the space capsule simulator and the racing car, then wandered around. If you saw something that didn't require a queue, you could just go and play.

PS There is one thing you can’t miss~ the turkey leg, it’s super big. When I received it from the beautiful girl, I felt like I was shaking. Haha. Of course, my friend and I didn’t finish that big turkey leg in the end. Haha

Around noon, we wandered into another section. It felt like a World Expo, with miniatures of famous countries from around the world. When we reached the Japan Pavilion, we were distracted by the kawaii pink collection in the gift shop. We couldn't move on, and ended up wasting nearly two hours there.

The most crucial and iconic show began at 9 p.m. Although we were exhausted, our curiosity kept us going despite the cold wind to watch the spectacular fireworks display. The music was beautiful, and everything was beautiful.

Epcot is more focused on the feeling of the future world, with more high-tech things in it, and there are also some national pavilions where you can learn about the characteristics of each country. Some of the staff from European countries are very handsome, and I took photos with several of them, hahahaha

There is no place to play here, but there are many novel and strange things, because it is the future world. There are many things you dare not see. Haha

I bought a four-day ticket for two people for Disneyland, which cost about $600, averaging out to $70 per park per day. I booked a fastpass two days in advance, but I was disappointed to get in after dark in the afternoon. I was very satisfied, though, as I got to enjoy everything I wanted to do. The final race was exciting, but I missed the gorgeous fireworks show due to a mechanical malfunction.

Epcot's International Pavilions offer numerous scheduled shows, most of which run a few times a day and last 20 minutes or longer. Because they're located farther from the main amusement park, it's important to choose the ones you're interested in and plan your time accordingly.

I went there twice but didn't see everything. EPCOT is so huge and there are so many things inside. It took me almost a whole day to visit Future World. I didn't see many of the various shows from different countries, which was a pity. Epcot is the most difficult park to explore in one day. I recommend two to three days.

Disneyland in Orlando is the largest Disneyland in the world

Disney is world-famous! Disneyland in Orlando has four theme parks, and Epcot is just one of them. Each theme park should take a full day to explore.

It's a fairy tale world for adults. I love flying over California! There are various countries and various circular screens, a bit like EXPO. The Monchhichi in the Japanese area is very cheap. When I went there, the largest one was only about 30 dollars, while in Shanghai it cost more than 1500.

It can probably be considered a science and technology museum, with all kinds of magical and fun things. You can also experience what it’s like to be an astronaut, which is super cool!

Overall it's good. The park is quite large. The entrance is more like a science and technology museum. We felt that the attractions were not exciting enough... The park at the back is more like the Window of the World. Many of the customs of various countries are very similar. Even in the China Pavilion, we didn't get to eat authentic Chinese food...

Epcot is relatively less crowded, and you can take the MONO RAIL at the entrance to other parks. There are many national pavilions that are very good, and you can try on kimonos and take photos in the Japanese Pavilion.

I recommend buying a two-park pass, which allows you to travel between the two theme parks by train (actually, the subway, a Harry Potter-themed subway). The train features Harry Potter characters, which is quite impressive. Diagon Alley had just opened when I visited, and it felt like I'd entered a magical world. There's a wand shop on the facade; remember to buy the wand with a sensor tip. While it's a bit more expensive, it allows you to cast spells at designated locations. If you're buying a wand for someone else, I recommend buying a regular wand without the sensor tip, as it works better. The Transformers was amazing; I rode it twice. The Mummy was also fantastic. If you want to visit both parks in one day, I recommend buying the fast-track tickets in advance. While they're a bit more expensive, they save you time and can turn two days into one. It's fantastic.

Epcot is more like a miniature version of the world's theme park, with everything you can eat, play, and see. I really like the Japanese and Italian pavilions inside.

We went during Thanksgiving, and the weather was around 15 to 25 degrees Celsius, so wearing long sleeves was a must. If you're looking for thrilling rides, Epcot isn't the place for you; it's less thrilling. However, it's a great place for families with children to learn about the world, the future, and space. The highlight was the 15-minute fireworks show at 9 or 9:30 PM. It couldn't be better!
