Epcot plans- have you seen these shows?

[Ashlotte]

Hi all. I am trying to make a touring plan for our day at Epcot and am having a hard time with which entertainment detours are worth adding into the plan and which to skip. Has anyone seen the following to give a comment? Are there any "must see" or skip attractions? Thank you!

UK- World Showcase Players
UK- The British Revolution
USA-The American Adventure (this is a regular attraction, correct?)
China- The Jeweled Dragon Acrobats
Germany- Oktoberfest Musikanten

Thanks!

I would not schedule any of them, but if you are there and they are playing or the show is going on when you are there I have never seen one I didn't enjoy.

Germany- Oktoberfest Musikanten
this is inside Biergarten Restaurant so you need a reservation. We usually start our vacation here for lunch and enjoy the show.

The USA is a great one. We have enjoyed that in the past. It's a look back at the past of America. Very educational whether you have kids or not.

UK- World Showcase Players - Yes. This is a street show in the Englad Pavillion right by the Twinnings shop. It's funny, and if you happen to catch it, you'll enjoy it. However, be wary, they choose people from the audience to participate, so if you are an introvert like myself, the first 5 minutes can be very nerve wracking.

UK- The British Revolution - Yes, we caught them on our way out one night heading back to the Boardwalk. They are a great cover band, and had the crowd singing along. Again, if you can catch them, it's a great show and good place to stop, have a drink and just enjoy some great music.

USA-The American Adventure (this is a regular attraction, correct?) - Yep. This is great and educational. It runs about a half hour, so it's also a great place for a nap if you've seen it already and you're hot and exhausted from wandering around all day.

China- The Jeweled Dragon Acrobats - Nope

Germany- Oktoberfest Musikanten- Yep. Part of the entertainment at Biergarten. Really makes for an authentic experience to go with the incredible outdoor, Oktoberfest atmosphere. My favorite restaurant in all of Disney, although the last time I was there, they didn't have the fried pork skin! My taste buds were disappointed, while my arteries rejoiced.

Enjoy your trip!

British Revolution are fantastic especially if you like bands such as the Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Police. And you don;t have to get to their show early as the are on an elevated stage so any place you will be able to see them.

Jeweled Dragon Acrobats are also pretty amazing but I would suggest that you get there early so that you can see everything as they aren't on an elevated stage and people tend to be "rude" and stand.

I'd suggest seeing The American Adventure if you have the time - it's a great show.

Germany is fabulous, but as PP noted, you have to be eating in the restaurant to see it.

We don't always enjoy the American Adventure, but I think that's a matter of personal taste, as I know some others love it. What we love MUCH more is what's scheduled just before- the Voices of Liberty- an impeccable a cappella choir that performs under the rotunda inside the building. The do a 15 min show every 45 minutes starting around lunch and the last show is around dinner. Sit close for the best sound- on the floor rather than back on the benches. They sing Americana / patriotic tunes. And they are SO good! It's timed perfectly so that you can go in to AA right after if you want.

And just before VoL is the Fife and Drum corps that performs outside. Also very good, and timed so that you can go in to VoL right after.
