What Is Your Favorite Part of Epcot World Showcase?

[milmore104]

It's hard to say what our favorite thing to do is. Since we just LOVE the WS! Seeing all the countries. This past Nov. was our first time visiting during the Food and Wine Festival and I'd have to say that was the best time we have ever had at EPCOT! I was amazing to try all the foods you really wanted to and not have to go to a sit down dinner and pay MEGA bucks for it! I would love to go again at this time.
But that aside I have to say the one thing that gives me the most joy in the WS is going from kidspot to kidspot w/ my DD and watching her make her mask and then at the end of the day watching the twinkle in her eye when she gives her dreams and wishes to the fairy and then looks at me and says, "I wished to come back again Mommy"

WOW!!! I just posted this last night. I can see that Epcot truly is a favorite. I know there are so many hidden things to see. I just want to know about all of them

Gotta love The British Invasion, Off-Kilter, Maelstrom, Impressions De France, Living Statues and Illuminations. And it's tough to beat a large Ringnes in Norway!

My wife and I enjoy the WS above all else at WDW.The street entertainment from the various countries is our favorite WDW passtime. Besides the fact that you are never far away from good food and drink the WS experience is relaxing and enjoyable. WS operates on a different clock than the rest of WDW.

I love the "Wonders of China" film. I am going to really miss it when it is replaced.

I also love Norway and Mexico. The atmosphere is awesome. Last time we went, we took pictures of DD (4 at the time) in each country with a different hat on her head that was from that country. They turned out great!
WS is a close second to me with MK barely nudging it out.
Less than 6 months to go. Woo hoo!

WS is our second favorite place in WDW, next to AK! One of my favorite things to do there is grab some baklava from Morocco (my favorite pavillion) and watch a set of MOrockin! They are great! Last time I requested they do Sting's "Desert Rose" which they do so beautifully and they were gracious enough to accomodate!

Maelstrom in Noway, El Rio Del Tiempo in Mexico, American Adventure, Impressions de France (and everything in France in general, my favorite pavillion), the Masquarade characters in Italy, Illuminations, and seeing all the characters in their countries of origin.

World Showcase is my very favorite place in all of WDW!!! I like so many things but the boat rides in Mexico and Norway (my two favorite countries in WS), the World Showcase Players in the UK and the Living Statues in France (I think they moved over to Italy) are my favorites.

I think the World Showcase is a great place to take pictures. As bad a photographer as I am, I've gotten some great pics there and use them as the "background wallpaper" on my PCs. Everybody stops by my desk at work and asks where I got the pictures for my wallpaper. They just can't believe it's from Epcot. And they really can't believe I took the pictures!

But my absolutely favorite thing in World Showcase is the movie in France. But the Bakery in France is a very close second!

Bakery in France???

I have to check that out next trip - thanks PrincessTToo for the tip!

Thanks

Can't really single it down to one particular thing that I like in World Showcase. I like to just take my time and spend the whole day going from country to country. Enjoying the food and the experience of just being there.

Boulangerie in France - Yum! That's not to be missed......

Hmmmm.....like others, Epcot is my favorite park - I love MK & they are really kind of tied - for different reasons....

I love the music - I could just drift from country to country, following the music....... The best time we ever had in WS, tho - was when my son was about 10 - I got him a passport & we went from country to country & talked with the CM's. He was having so much fun, he didn't even realize how much he was learning! It was also the first time I got him to spend an entire day in WS without begging to go on rides or asking me to hurry up.

I miss ToN - I really, really loved that. I would have rather kept ToN & gave up Illuminations (which I love also, but ToN was so moving!) I have some great memories of strolling around WS with my hubby at the F & WF & then sitting down to enjoy ToN & chatting with the other guests while waiting for the show. Sitting down during that music, however, is NOT an option for me

Right now it is the concert series at the American Gardens theatre. They have an Australian rock band (Brother) and they got me hooked on their music. It is truely unique with Bagpipes, harmonica, drums, guitars, synthasizer (sp) and something else that I don't know what it is called.

 

[cinmell]

I really enjoy Mexico and Norway in WS. Of course my favorite is Illuminations!

Getting a French pastry at the bakery there, then sitting on a bench right by the big fountain in France, listening to the music and watching the people go by.

Just bumping this thread. I found so much useful information when I posted it, and thought it would do some good to be at the top again.

 

[FOTM_Ring_Bearer]

Epcot is my favorite park.

I really love to be there during the flower and garden festival. The displays are beautiful. I also enjoy the flower power concerts at the American Garden. Got to see Davy Jones. Yeah!!!!

Christmas is also a wonderful time for visit. The decorations and the Candlelight processional are just awesome.

I love to just wonder through the shops in the different countries.

Fiesta Margarita's (yum yum).

Illuminations is just the best and I really miss Tapestry of Nations. You just can't beat watching ToN while sipping champagne.

We are always slow to leave after Illuminations. We wait for the crowd to thin and then stroll slowly, taking in the peaceful and beautiful atmosphere with practically no one else around - a little piece of heaven!!

I have to agree whole heartedly. Right after Illuminations, most of the crowd is busy trying to get to the exits while my DW and I just hold hands while walking around one last time to soak it all in. I also like the little area in the back of the UK Pavilion with the benches.

 

[CourtasanSatine]

Off Kilter in Canada

British Invasion in UK

Rose and crown for tea

anything in France(ok,that's no suprise since I love Moulin Rouge

 

[barbeml]

Having a pint of Harp at the Rose and Crown--we ALWAYS meet some Brits there and that makes it so special.

Also, dessert at the Kringala Bakery just before Illuminations.

World Showcase is also our favorite part of WDW. We are really looking forward to Food & Wine Fest again this year, and I vow to take the time to do WS "like the first time"--wander through all the countries and truly appreciate the details.
