EPCOT -- time in the countries

[Sevey13]

Wow. Interesting. I had no idea what to think.
We are having lunch at Marrakesh because my DD (7) wants to see the belly dancers. Waiting to hear about the new Frozen ride at Norway.

I can definitely see us spending up to an hour in each country.

Is there a favorite things in Epcot thread? This is what I am looking forward to the most!

I think our Epcot day will be the day we don't head back to FW in the afternoon. It's too far.

If you haven't scheduled it yet or have time to change it, I would push your reservation back to a bit of a later lunch (1:00 or later). This gives you time to leisurely make your way to Morocco. Even if you take the short way around, you will pass Canada, UK, and France, each with their own unique offerings (plenty of gardens in Canada and UK, a film in Canada and France, cool buildings in the UK and France, bands, even some character meets like Mary Poppins and Belle) not to mention Agent P if you go that route and not to mention all of Future World. Last time I was there, I made an noonish ADR for Germany and I will not do that again. To make it there on time, we had to basically rush through four countries. If you can, push past 1:00. You can always grab a snack from one of the many tasty WS snack shops on the way around (Ice Cream in France anyone?).

We usually go every few years during the holiday season so we are at EPCOT 2 1/2 or 3 days to get in FW and time in the countries to do the shopping, movies/attractions and eating along with the storytellers and CP.

Are you drinking??? Eating??

I could last three days there. I love it.

Yes and yes. Unfortunately, we only have 1 day and I'm not going to be drinking much. It's not my thing when it's hot. I've noted some beers for my husband to try. And I've been keeping a list of snacks.

Like others have said, it really varies on your interests. We spent a lot of time in Morocco, and someone upthread said they spend no time in Morocco. We truly did breeze through some countries quickly, and others we really lingered.

We usually spend at least two half days in Ws. I could spend a lot more if I had time! We love getting drinks and snacks from all the different countries. We don't have a set time that we spend in each country, I usually try to find things that we haven't done each trip. Last year, we did pick a pearl in Japan, so we stayed there longer than some of the other countries.
