EPCOT World Showcase - Where do you begin your trip around the world?

[JennaDeeDooDah]

Completely depends on what I'm feeling that day. If we are staying at Boardwalk or Beach Club, we obviously start at IG, but sometimes that means turning left and heading to UK and other times we go right towards France. When we are coming from Future World, again, it just depends on our mood. I'd say that the majority of the time, we probably head towards Mexico so we can ride Gran Fiesta Tour plus our favorite pavillions are Norway, Germany, and Italy, but even then, I'd say that we likely head that way only about 55%-60% of the time.

I veer to the LEFT most of the time in the parks, therefore MEXICO it is!
But I spend more than one day visiting Epcot, sometimes up to 3 times so Canada is first at times, too.

It really depends on what we are going to do next. If we are going to ride Frozen then we start in Mexico. If we are going to hear the bands in Canada or UK then we go that way.

Mexico! Start off a hot walk with a nice cool Margarita!

We're always in Epcot multiple days, but from the front entrance, we almost always start on the Mexico side. But, it really does not matter to us. What does matter to us is being in France at the end of the night. For whatever, reason, we always seem to be drawn to France right before we leave.

The first Epcot day, we start in Mexico. Second Epcot day we start in Canada. We rarely use the IG. If we have a third Epcot day, we go whichever way is closer to where we are going.

Mexico the last is it started at Canada Two times. I think I enjoyed going that way a lot better. I can get a Moosehead Beer and listen to some live entertainment and honestly like the UK Pavilion a lot.

Depends on what I have going on. If I have a FP+ booked for frozen I start in Mexico. If I don't I start in Canada.

During Food and Wine I usually start in Canada to get the filet and beer cheese soup.

Great post! Unless we are starting by IG (which is rare so I cast my vote otherwise), we start at Mexico and head clockwise. It’s just habit! No rhyme or reason! France and England are my favorite though so it is nice to “save the best towards last”

 

[Oneanne]

I think I do Canada and IG the most often.

One of my favorite things to do is to head back to Les Halles at RD for breakfast, so that means turning right towards Canada as that's the only side of WS that's open, and then it's leisurely walk back in an empty park, a lovely way to start a day. I hop from DHS a lot, since it's a half day park for me, and love coming in thru IG, because it's so much more intimate.

We usually start in Mexico our first day. During F&W, when we go multiple days, we will head which ever direction that we missed the most of what we wanted to see and try.

Mexico. Every trip around the World should be started with a La Cava margarita.

 

[Catvondita]

Mexico. I always stop at Cava Del Tequilla to start my journey around the world!

 

[dachsie]

I hadn't really thought about it but I think I tend to start at Mexico - must be that clockwise thing. I know I have started in Canada as well but mostly start in Mexico

 

[GreatLakes]

If I'm just going around always Mexico.

 

[im4pacers1]

Always Mexico. No reason other than habit.

 

[DizDaD7]

It varies...Depends where I am at the time....If I just finishes a FP @ TT and it's close to 11 a.m. then I'll head towards Mexico...& vice versa, If I plan for the Sea & land and Figment after doing TT And MS, then I'll hit Canada 1st...

TBH I do prefer starting in Mexico though, for we always linger a bit more around France & UK....Our 2 favorite countries....Also Japan as well.

 

[ariel94]

We usually find ourselves heading towards Mexico first! Unless we want poutine, then we head straight for Canada

 

[ktlm]

DH flips out if we don't start in Mexico-- he is a creature of habit. In fact, he will walk all the way from Canada to Mexico just to start in Mexico. I made him start in Canada one trip because that was right by where we were and you would have thought I would have asked him to stand on his head and walk World Showcase on his hands.

It mostly depends on where I'm going and chooses the shortest route. If I'm just doing the whole tour with no intended stop on the way, I generally do Mexico to Canada for no real reason other than clockwise just seems the way to go.
