[1happyfam]

We are cruising and staying the pre day at Beach Club. Since we can walk into Epcot,are suprising kids with the tix. Havent been to Disney in about 4/5 yrs Iknow.I know. So any advice or tips for must sees in Epcot would be great.

Make sure you DO NOT miss Soarin'. Best ride ever in my opinion!

First of all, have a most wonderful cruise.

As for Epcot, be sure to visit Soarin', Test Track and either the regular (spin) version or lite (no spin) version of Mission Space. Read the signs outside for information and height restrictions, etc.

Kids will also enjoy Turtle Talk at the Living Seas and you folks will enjoy the show, too. If they are into disosaurs be sure to visit the Universe of Energy. In other words, you and they will probably enjoy most everything in Future World.

Don't forget the wonderful Illuminations fireworks at 9:00PM.

Yes, the 3 musts are Soarin, Test Track and Illuminations.

You should try to get there upon the park opening. It's key in order for you to get a Soarin fastpass that enables you to get an AM ride. I'd head immediately over to Soarin upon entering the park, get your fastpasses then go do other things (unless you can go on Soarin right away). Maybe hit the gentle version of Mission: Space.

You've gotta wait 2 hours in order to get another fastpass, so when those 2 hours are up I'd head to Test Track and get fastpasses there and do that later.

Spend the majority of the late afternoon/evening in World Showcase (eat dinner there - but call in the AM to make reservations) and end it by watching Illuminations.
