Post Your Best EPCOT tip here!!!

[edcopp]

This is a companion piece to my other internationaly acclaimed best seller, "Post Your Best MK Tip Here!!!"

You get the idea - I'm looking for all of the coolest, juiciest, insider information I can get my paws on.

This is by far my favorite thing I've done. We love Epcot and the tour was so neat. We went on the later one (9:30) so we didn't have to get there too early and World Showcase was starting to open as we got there so there were people and the stores were open. So much fun and special inside info while on the tour.

This isn't breaking news or anything, but I like to stop by the Land for breakfast. They have a bakery with foods like the one at MK, and a very large indoor eating area. Perfect for a light morning snack.

Typically, for a full day at Epcot, we ride Spaceship earth and then go around future world starting with the living seas. The land is right after the seas, so its perfect timing for the first snack! That way by the time we end up at the world showcase we'll be hungry enough to pick the country lunch of our choice.

On Test Track get in the single riders lane even if you have multiple people in your party (dont do it if you do not want to get separated from small kids). The line moves so fast and most of the time some family will get into the same car.

To cool off for a while go into the land, knock off 3 attractions and get a drink.

Another cool down treat is in Japan, the Kakagori stand sell delish shaved ice in 4 flavors.

When touring World Showcase, take time to go into the and check out the little nooks and crannies of each nation. You can see some really cool things that showcase the culture of each country. The shops have some very cool things that are neat to see and help you understand the country and it's culture. I think people overlook the little things when they visit World Showcase. Just because a country doesn't have a ride or show doesn't mean they don't have some cool things and beautiful landscaping.

Take your time in World Showcase and give yourself enough time for World Showcase. It's my personal favorite part of this theme park.

Don't miss out on drinking around the world. Not to sound like an alcoholic, but this is what we look most forward too. It's always our most relaxing day at the parks. And I DO NOT go to Epcot anymore wothout getting my hands on my all time favorite- the Kier Royale at the France Kiosk! VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Actually, my sister and I (DH is staying behind) are planning a trip for October of this year b/c we had such a good time together last October at the Epcot Food and Wine Festival. So, that's another Epcot tip: If it's possible, try to go sometime during this festival, b/c it's really great. It's a must-try-atleast-once.

drinking around the world is now mine and my fatherinlaws newest activity!

Second vote for Segway tour, you will never look at the World Showcase the same way again, once you have been there by yourself zipping around!

 

[goofie4goofy]

Oh Yeah...Start drinking in Mexico with the Fiesta Margarita and work your way around ...lots of fun

We usually choose our lunch by what we feel like drinking.

Get to Epcot when it opens and do all the big attractions, Soarin, test track, and Mission to space. Then if it is not 11:00 yet do other attractions in future world until it is 11:00 then head to World Showcase. World Showcase will not be as crowded and then by the time you are done with it go back to future world and it will not be as crowded as if you would have stayed because everyone else is now done with future world and headed toward world showcase for the night. Have a great time!

World Showcase is very fun when you mosy around and spend some time in the shops. The performers in each country are also entertaining, especially at Christmas time.

Check the times for the bellydancer before you plan your meal in Morocco. Also, don't be shy about asking for a table right next to the dance floor; they always seat you in upper levels unless you ask.

If you need a break from the heat, take the kids into Innoventions(I think it's West). There are lots of video games to play. One thing you do is listen to a man tell you about plastic and then you can make a free plastic robot to take home. You can see the person making the parts in different colors and then you put your robot together in the color you want. If you've never been in Innoventions, go through it once and see all the things they have in there.

Make sure you do Soarin and use FPs every chance you get. In World Showcase, enjoy the Voices of Liberty at the American Pavillion. Enjoy the scenery around the World. The gardens are beautiful.

Be sure to take a stop in future world to check out all the Coke's around the world. Some are pretty yummy, but then again some are horrible!!! It's lots of fun though.

 

[Kimi313]

Ohhh I forgot, look for the talking water fountain. It is in Future World and I believe somewhere across the Land or Imagination. Ask if anyone knows. It slurps while you are drinking water. Also I agree with the above poster about the gardens, the rose garden between Imagination and World Showcase smells sooo good.

Our favorite place to cool off is Club Cool. You get to sample pop from around the world for free and it is very cool & refreshing inside too!
