Tips about Epcot and My Disney Experience

EPCOT - The World Showcase has always been the favorite section of WDW for our entire family, including our two children who are now 13 and 18. I think it's something about the wide, relatively uncrowded walkways or something. Our children always enjoy the street shows and looking around the stores, especially the huge department store in Japan. Young children enjoy using the 'passport' one can buy to take to each country, or looking for the same type of item in each country; e.g., hats (take a picture of him/her trying it on in each country), candies, pins, etc. - Teresa Anderson

EPCOT - Without a doubt, our childrens' favorite thing about the World Showcase is the character meetings...we were able to see more characters here than at any other location at WDW. They (ages 6 and 9) also enjoyed El Rio del Tiempo in Mexico. - Bob Terry

EPCOT - Have kids wear bathing suits and T-shirts so they can cool off in the splash fountains. Watch out! On occasion, Goofy joins you in his funky bathing suit! Bring dry clothes to change into. - Iris Csimbok

EPCOT - Take a snack break while watching the short concerts throughout the park. Our kids particularly liked the "Garbage Can Guys" (also known as the Jamitors!. - Iris Csimbok

EPCOT - We toured Epcot in July and the best tip I can give is go to Future World around 3:30 - 4:00 p.m. We were very worried since we were going in July. To our amazement when we started our touring, we met ZERO waiting times and at most ten minutes on most of the attractions. The only one that had a line is Test Track. It seems people do Future World in the morning and then go over to the World Showcase. We were pleasantly surprised. - LuckyCharm

ALL PARKS - You will only move at the pace of the slowest person in your group. Accept this, be patient, and do what you can to help that slowest person - under certain circumstances, it might be you! (Jen Kitchen)

EPCOT - During Epcot's International Food and Wine Festival - instead of a traditional sit-down dinner; feast your way around World Showcase sampling all the goodies!

EPCOT - It's much easier to walk to World Showcase through the International Gateway than to park at the entrance or even take the bus or monorail from anywhere else. We like it so much, the only resort we stay at is the Boardwalk! - Becky in Delaware
