Epcot - Two days or one?

[debkorb1]

I am going to be at Disney from 27th June-11th July. Will I need two days at Epcot? I have to say most of the pavilions and rides appeal to us and my partner and I quite enjoy looking around shops.

We both have six day park hoppers, but also plan to do Universal Studios and Sea World. We are offsite no obviously no EMH!

I'd go for 2 days there if you want to take your time and really "see" everything. There's a lot going on in the WS--all sorts of entertainment, shops, food, films, a couple of rides. I spent probably 2 and a half days there altogether.

I would say one day. Although there is a fair bit to see wandering through World showcase mastering future world does not take that long with the help of fast pass.

With 6 days in the parks, I'd give 1.5 days to EPCOT. Sounds like you would really enjoy it.

Me and my husband have taken 1 and a half days both times we've been. We love wandering around the world and you need lots of time if you want to look in all the shops at a leisurly pace. We have done one very full day (from open to close) and then been to Animal Kingdom on another day till about 3 then back over to Epcot till closing.

Hope this helps. Love Verity.xxx

I agree with at least 1.5 days! I would probably actually do 1 full day and 2 half days. I would plan the one of those half days for the day we did AK since it closes earlier.

As for Epcot, we like to see a lot of the entertainers in WS, and it is almost impossible to see everything in one day there! The fact that there are so many options for meals/snacking is a good reason to return for those half days too!

With 6 days, I would probably do full days like this - 2 in MK, 1 in AK, 1 in MGM, 1 in Epcot and on the sixth day split it between MGM and Epcot. (also doing Epcot on the AK day).

Hmmmm.....how about a full day and an afternoon? The full day could be for a comprehensive tour of Future World and a little of World Showcase. The afternoon would be to finish World Showcase. The morning of that second could be used for another park or for sleeping in.

With all the attractions, shops, restaurants and Illuminations, it's just too much for one day. Definitely break up your Epcot visits. For one thing, there are too many good places to eat there to just catch one meal.

Is my suggestion,that way I feel you wouldn't feel rushed and you could experience much of what Epcot has to offer.I don't think you could see and do everything in two full days.Live show's,attraction's, display's shops if you rush through you miss so many little hidden treasure's.They have several wonderful behind the scene tour's you could experience.Take the the time to enjoy some great dining experience's.With two day's you will not see it all but hey you can plan on coming back to see what you miss on your next trip.

It depends on if you have been there before and what your interests are.
I would even suggest one day in Epcot, and other evenings return to WS, after you have visited the other parks.

You'll need at least two days.

Hi there!

If all you have is six days to spend I would do 2 at Epcot, 2 at MK and one each for MGM and AK. Actually you could probably spend half a day at AK and us the other half at MK or EPCOT.

On our recent trip we spent 4 plus days and still never saw everything at EPCOT but then we are going back in October and will recifify some of that. LOL

If you enjoy looking around all the pavilions and shops, and want to ride the rides, I definitely suggest planning 2 days at Epcot.

We love Epcot, and can't seem to get enough time there! We split our days into half days, taking an afternoon break from the parks. But by the time a week-long trip is over, we've spent a total of 2 or 2 1/2 days at Epcot each trip.

Thanks for all the opinions - it seems more time rather than less is the general consensus.

Len's idea seems like a good compromise esepcially as we have a PS at Rose and Crown for 7.30 on Satuday 3rd July - I know a terrace table isn't guaranteed by any means, but thought I'd give it a whizz.

I was thinking we could do one full day at Epcot and then see how we felt and how much we got done - maybe then go to MK for an extra morning or perhaps MGM or AK and then onto Epcot late afternoon/early evening. The problem with that plan is that I then couldn't follow the two day UG touring plan of Epcot, which seems to the best way to approach the park, especially as I'm not that energetic to say the least.

Decisions decisions! But I really do love the whole process
