Number of Days for Epcot

[brad813]

It’s been a few years since I have been to Epcot, and was wondering if it would be worth it still to do two days, or if one day would be plenty right now.

We always do 2 days, one in FW and one in WS. But we have a lot of park days, so I’d say it depends on how many days you have and your personal preferences. Especially now with so much construction

Still have 9 Days(on a 10 Day Ticket) to use by the end of September. Covid extended ticket, so they allow use of those over multiple trips. I’m planning to go back for Food & Wine, but was unsure on the amount of construction going on.

We were there over Pres.Day Wknd, and I have to tell you the crowds, socially distanced lines, and construction slowed us down considerably! I had never stood in line to enter the Mexican Pavilion before! Yow! Lots of walls up in your way, causing you to detour, but it's been like that for a while. We chose to enter from IG, which saved us time....and there is something beautiful about seeing France in the morning light! Be prepared for lines and few QS seats. I suggest two days so you don't have the stress we did. Have a great vacation!

Pretty much all that is available for park passes for my trip is Epcot and AK. Was mainly going for Flower and Garden and a few rides, so was planning to eat at the food kiosks.

Typically when we go, we do Epcot almost everyday. We will rope drop our main park for the day, then after a late lunch we will Park Hop over to Epcot and make a couple loops around WS and then head back to our resort around park close.

I only have single park tickets, and will be staying off property.

I would say 1 day would be fine at this rate with construction etc.

This really depends on how many days your ticket is and what you like.

2 days for the Magic Kingdom and 1 day for the other parks is common.

After that, it really depends on what appeals to you.

Currently, ROTR is incredibly popular. It’s truly an amazing attraction. You most likely are going to want to try to experience it twice. That’s a sixth day.

If you have a 7 day ticket, that leaves you with 1 day. Some would argue for a third day at the Magic Kingdom. Others would say pick between Animal Kingdom or Epcot. Which depends on your personal taste.

In your case, you mentioned only Animal Kingdom and Epcot are available. Because of the cost difference between 2 and 3 days, I’d stick with a 2 day ticket and do each park once.

I have a ten day ticket(9 remaining) that I have to use up by September 26th. Normally, it wouldn’t be possible to use them across multiple trips, but the COVID extended ones you can use this way as long as you make no further changes. It’s a nice perk. I did decide on two Epcot and one AK for this trip.

I will. Leave out early Tuesday morning. Got a few things to work out, but will be fine. The remaining six days on the ticket, after this trip, will be saved for Food & Wine.

I was thinking about the Sept 30 Epcot visit and hoping for unannounced preview for the new Ratatouille Attraction ...
October 1st is supposed to be Opening Day and the castmembers need to be trained... worth a try!
I think most people Do Not Experience Epcot ... I would definitely need 2 days at least. Have you seen Awesome Planet yet?
The new Canada Film ?
The Preview Show Experience for HarmoniUS in Horizons Building?
China Film ? The B&B singalong (Angela Lansbury narrates) that is not really a sing along but is pretty funny animated show and later in day the award show (true)
Impressions de France for the evening hours...Dare you to research the film history of Impressions.... you will be impressed!
How About the American Adventure? and Soarin or Livin ,
Dont forget live entertainment hopefully returning , and new food selection with BBQ in America and the Festival Food experience and just relaxing and enjoying (forgot Mexico and Germany) and that secret place in Japan...
Might as well use your 9 day ticket to the extreme and explore... who knows what is just around the corner ?
P.S. better take that friendly boat across water to see those barges up close and personal . What if they remove that friendship boat experience when HarmoniUS begins? This might be your last chance .I suggest round trip just in case.
Dont forget to make your entry reservations!

I haven't been able to yet, but this trip will be 2 days Epcot and 1 day AK, and I will be returning in a few months. Fortunately, I don't have to use it all in one trip and am only an hour flight from Orlando.

I rarely start at Epcot but hop there about half of my park days.

Don’t have parkhoppers(and can’t add them due to the nature of my ticket) but didn’t make it down due to a problem.

 

[Mwh76]

Is there much to do in Epcot for younger kids?

 

[Mwh76]

I do not have park hopper tickets, I just have 6 one day tickets. Plan on spending 2 in magic kingdom, and 1 day each for the other 3. That will still leave me 1 day, any suggestions on which other park to spend a second day?
