EPCOT: Should I stay the entire day and night or split it up?

[fairytinkerbell]

We never went to EPCOT at night and are going to go at nite for the first time this October.

My question is: in the past I noticed i got bored w/ EPCOT and usually rush thru, once in the countries and not sure if we rushed because we knew we had to get to another park ?? but what do you all do?

Like you I used to not enjoy EPCOT to the fullest. But since you are going in October you will be able to enjoy the Food and Wine Festival and perhaps there is a concert that you would enjoy seeing while you are there......check out who is playing the week you are there. There are plenty of things to check out in the countries. Have you seen Off Kilter at Canada? The ride at Norway is OK, and the film at France is actually pretty good. You need to pick up a schedule and catch some of the entertainment at each of the countries. And of course there is Illuminations in the evening.

Epcot at night is the best! Since it is open later than the other parks when we go, we do usually split it up over several nights. If you go during the Food and Wine Festival, you will find that area to be very crowded starting at dinnertime and getting progressively crowded as the night wears on. Don't know if you have kids, but we had a problem with those on their way to becoming drunk... mainly tripping over our stroller and causing us to stop suddenly. We found ourselves in Future World which was very, very pleasant and uncrowded. Many attractions were open until night, including Spaceship Earth, Imagination, Test Track and Mission Space. I love the fountain shows there and, really, the whole atmosphere is just so fun. This was the first time we were in that section of Epcot at night and what a pleasant surprise that was!
