Tips about Epcot and Walt Disney World

EPCOT - Epcot was packed in the front, the lines were out of the doors for everything. We went to the countries where theaters were half full. In the late afternoon we went back to the front of the park and had no lines for anything. - Mark Valentine

EPCOT - If you want to ensure you dine at an Epcot restaurant for dinner and don't have an Advance Dining Reservation, make sure to make one very early in the day. The popular restaurants fill up early.

EPCOT - Watch IllumiNations after a rain. For some reason, everybody seems to leave the parks if a little rain appears, especially late in the day. If you just stick it out, you can secure a great spot to watch Illuminations with no waiting required. And, after Illuminations ends, even it's not been raining, as everyone scurries to the exits, wait for the crowds to die down, and then take a leisurely stroll around the lagoon. Enjoy the music and the lights, you'll have a nice quiet time with minimal people, and a chance to look at the skies above. The Disney buses or your car will be there whenever you get out. - Bill

EPCOT - My friends and I had a wonderful time going around the world in EPCOT. We can prove it by showing the pictures we took of ourselves in each country wearing one of the hats they sell that represents the country. (Carrie Mennerich)

EPCOT - In the Germany courtyard, if you happen to be near the clock tower as it strikes the hour, watch the Hummel figurines and listen to the tune of the glockenspiel -- it was specially written for the Epcot pavilion.

EPCOT - Live Entertainers - It would be hard to choose which live performers in World Showcase are the best, but it's safe to say that everyone has their favorites. Try to see as many of them as you can, which probably means you'll need to make multiple visits to Epcot! Whatever you do, DON'T rush by these performers -- you'll be missing something truly special!
