3) Mission: Space
4) Spaceship Earth
5) Good food
6) A chance to meet people from all over the world

You mention that you are not a fan. And, you mention one attraction that you like. So, I assume you have been to Epcot before.

How long has it been since you were last there? Future World has changed quite a bit in the last 6 years. I wasn't a fan of World Showcase when I was 22, either. It wasn't until a good decade later that I started to develop a real enjoyment of it. Now, it's one of my favorite places to spend a lot of time.

funny, honey I shrunk the audience is probably the ONE thing we will SKIP this time

I like mission space, living seas, etc....but I always really look foward to WS and all the food!!

I love watching the beautiful dancing waters and am always wowed at their timing to the music.

The free soda area at Station cool is awsome. I like Living with the Land, can't wait for Soarin', love talking with people in World Showcase about their lives, enjoying the awesome orchids in Mexico, listening to the music in Morrocco and drums in Japan.

In America there is a wornderful show and the American Vybe signing group is very good. Smell the perfume in France and Norway, get an English candybar, eat at Le Celier and oh yeah


ILLUMINATIONS!!!!

My entire family loves Epcot and we can't seem to get enough of it. Others can't understand us! When there, I try to get a piece of candy (or something good, not necessarily edible) from each country to take back home with me. I tell others it's from "Epcot" to show them that there are so many fascinating things there!

Plus, my son...who wants to be an astronaut one day, loves Mission Space. We are planning two days for Epcot this time around and *hoping* that we will finally feel like we've done it all. ('cause so far...we feel like there's still so much to do there!)

I LOVE Epcot and can't wait to get back there! It's the first park we're going to this time and are going to go for the evening on another day too. Where else in the world can you visit so many different countries all in the same day? It really amazes me how they've captured the look of each country so well - some even better than others. It's just so cool to get to meet all of the people who are actually from those countries and see, eat, buy all of the things that are from their countries. Our DD's did the masks and passports last time and are looking forward to doing that again. I'm so looking forward to Illuminations too!

Yup, the one word that says it all:

ILLUMINATIONS!!

Gives me goosebumps and a lump in the throat everytime I listen to the soundtrack

sorry to say so bob, but thats total rubish
i'm from germany, from bavaria to say so.
so i know what a real "Biergarten" looks like and it definately does NOT look like what the Biergarten in the Germany pavillion at epcot looks like...

Maybe I'm going to try the food and have a look at the menue...and what slang people there talk...then i'ma gonna tell you what germany (the stereotype : bavarians) is

have a nice evening (almost midnight over here !)

Our whole family love Epcot. Maybe you should give it another visit!

We normally stay at one of the Epcot resorts or at the Poly so we can Monorail to Epcot quickly. This is my families favorite resort. We spend more time here than the other parks combined. I think it's because to us it is really 2 different parks. I guess it depends on your families interests and temperment. Even when she was 9 my child preferred Epcot.

We eat in at least 2 countries every trip. Le Cellier in Canada is our favorite. And always visit the Bakery in France at least twice.

The funny thing is that we only visit Honey I Shrank the Audience whenever we are traveling with a WDW newbee.

I can't wait to ride Soaring on our trip in May. It is our 2nd favorite ride in Disneyland/CA (Indiana Jones is #1 of course!). And even with my severe motion sickness, I had to do Mission Space last year. We always go during the Flower & Garden Festival. I am sad Peter Noonan hasn't done a Flower Power Concert in the last several years. But in the past we have set through 2 consecutive shows of Stepenwolf, Turtles and others. I expect my husband to spend at least several hours taking pictures of the roses and topiaries as he does every year. I am always terrified I will be picked out of the audience in UK for the street players theatricals. And of course where else will you hear a rock band playing Bagpipes.

 

[PrincessPenny]

forgive me for not knowing this but what is SOARING????
