    World showcase was my favorite part of spending the day in Epcot. It includes pavilions/sections of 10 different countries. Each of them had some rides, food and drinks stalls, and gift shops. Each pavilion's food and drinks shops were super busy, with waiting line up to 10-15 minutes. Among the pavilions, Norway, Italy and UK were my favorites. Frozen ride was in Norway pavilion. They also had incredible body wash and lotion in their shop. They also lots of viking themes items. Italy had very nice products in their shops. China and Japan's gift shops were huge. Took me 10-15 minutes just to walk around the whole store. In the Japan pavilion, they also had the temple gate lined up to the Epcot globe. They also have a tram ride next other the Canadian pavilion that goes the island in the middle of the pond. It took us several hours to stop at each pavilion, check out each of their offerings and gift shops. We did a lot of shopping from different ones. Prices were little high understandably so. I also tried the chicken tikka curry and lasso from one small Indian stall. It was pretty good actually, and the price was surprisingly cheap.

    I really enjoyed walking through this section. Located in the Epcot Center area, the World Showcase is a display and celebration of history, culture and cuisine from different parts of the world. With the World Showcase Lagoon at the center, take a stroll along the pedestrian walkway where there are 11 countries highlighted to experience food, architecture and way of life. I learned so much on this trail. We took photos, sampled small bites and desserts and read a little about each country. Definitely a must do if visiting EPCOT

    Epcot World Showcase is different world. We are world travelers so seeing this places in a real world then in Epcot is mixed feelings and made us live our memories again. So, we enjoyed food and walking by gorgeous architecture, buildings and every countries food which they offered in this place. The shops were so cute and fun. Walking around this place will give you different vibe and make you to book your next destination...

    Epcot World Showcase - fireworks and water show!
    Amanda L.

    Note: I'm writing this review for the fireworks show in the middle at the end of the night at Epcot! I'm not sure where the delineation begins and ends! For my reviews on Epcot as a theme park as a whole, they should be under the general "Epcot" name! As for the fireworks AND water show at Epcot, color me impressed! It doesn't have the beautiful backdrop of Cinderella's Castle the way that Magic Kingdom does, but it definitely holds its own! I haven't seen Fantasmic at Hollywood Studios, so I can only compare it to the Magic Kingdom fireworks, but I love that Epcot has both the fireworks AND a water show. It's honestly predominantly a water show, and it's so cool for that! They chose some truly great songs, trying to fit the theme of "around the world," and showcasing a bit of each of as many pavilions as they could and it was really well done! The Bellagio fountains in Vegas are quaking!! All in all, very delightful! Not sure if it was because of the humidity in the air of our day, it had rained a slight bit in the evening before the show, or just the sheer amount of water used during this show as well, but the fireworks did get quite a bit "smoky" and lingered in the air, causing it to blur and look pretty clouded as the show went on, but still so enjoyable! I think it's definitely worth staying until park close to catch this. There are so many prime viewing opportunities as well since it's in the center of the park, so you'll never be hurting for a good spot to catch it all in!

    I flew here from Hawaii and saw nearly every night country in the world!? Not just cause I'm a good boy but because EPCOT is an amazing park! You can experience so much in a day here and will need more than a day or you will be rushing through this park. The food and the scenery of every pavilion in the World Showcase are top notch and this place is HUGE. A MUST-SEE for any theme park fan.

    We visited Epcot on 1/24. It was very crowded even though it was freezing cold. I liked it better when people didn't bring kids here, especially in strollers. But the food vendors they had for the art show were terrific. We started with a watermelon margarita which was amazing and a peach slush champagne which was delicious. And followed with a personal Brie cheese bowl, a donut of sushi, an empanada, and a deconstructed key lime pie. I couldn't eat or drink anymore after that but I did try my daughter's grilled cheese which was banging. Looking forward to eating and drinking Our way around Epcot soon!

    The free stage at the American Pavillion has set up their lighting behind the bands/singers that shine into the eyes of the audience. Blinding high intensity LED lights flashing right into your eyes during the shows. Awful. Makes the shows unwatchable.

    Went here during their food and wine festival and tried what felt like at least half of the offerings. This was such a fun experience! Nothing was over $10, so it was super affordable. In total we tried 25 different dishes from every country. Most things were very good, but whoever cooked the rice for most of the countries did not know how to cook it, is was dry and not cooked throughly. Also the pastries in France were not good at all.

    Epcot (Orlando) WORLD SHOWCASE This was my favorite part in Epcot! Epcot featured pavilions from eleven countries around the world: Mexico, Norway, China, Germany, Italy, USA, Japan, Morocco, France, UK, and Canada. Where else can you experience 11 countries in roughly 1.2 miles, which is the actual distance around Epcot's World Showcase lagoon. You will not find thrill rides here so don't look for those type of attractions in World Showcase but immerse yourself and do enjoy movies, boat rides and shows that will give you an overview of the country you're in. We spent most of our time exploring here. We started in Canada and worked our way around. The attraction is centered around a 40-acre lagoon. I enjoyed transitioning from one country to the next learning about their cuisine, culture, heritage, and history, while enjoying the arts and entertainment, architecture and authentic buildings and backdrops. By the time we got to the 11th country (Mexico) I was tired but it was cool to discover some hidden gems in every country. It inspired me and the hubby to travel abroad some day. For now hubby and I enjoyed walking the grounds of the pavilions. So much to say about each country but I'd be writing all night. There were also character meet and greets in the countries that inspired their stories: Anna and Elsa in Norway; Alice (in Wonderland) and Mary Poppins in the UK; Snow White in Germany; Mulan in China; Princess Aurora and Belle in France; and Princess Jasmine in Morocco. The only one we saw was Donald Duck in Mexico! Hola Donald! LoL! Review #1515

    "Any world that I'm welcome to" (Steely Dan) We spent most of our visit to Epcot at their World Showcase park. It's shaped like a big horseshoe, running around a pretty lagoon. We strolled through the pavilions representing eleven countries that shared the culture, dress, and food of their people. Mexico, Norway, China, Germany, Italy, the United States, Japan, Morocco, France, the United Kingdom, and Canada were represented here. Some of our highlights were a terrific film about Canada narrated by Martin Short, the beautiful grounds around the France pavilion, the very cool model trains running on an elaborate course outside the Germany pavilion, a terrific exhibit on Kawaii culture (it celebrates "cuteness") in Japan, and the mythology heavy Norway pavilion (with a big gift shop custom made for your Anna and Elsa fans). We had a very good lunch in the China Pavilion at Nine Dragons, their sit-down restaurant. You'll have to wait for 11:00 am for the exhibits to open. Our visit was very relaxing and we really had no issues with big crowds or waits. Granted, there aren't a lot of rides here, but there was plenty to do and some great things to see.

It turned out to be a magical day, and now I can't stop thinking about going back! I didn't love the rides. I had no chance to ride the Guardians rollercoaster due to ridiculous lines. A few "dark rides" (Caballeros, Nemo, and Ratatouille), weren't bad as shelter from the scorching Florida heat. The real magic is in entering "flow state" and wandering the world showcase areas. The architecture and atmosphere draws you in and scratches that international travel itch. There are so many nooks, crannies, and hidden treasures to explore - from unique shops to themed restaurants. The real stars were the excellent food and drink options. The food from the numerous themed stands and stalls is ridiculously good and priced fairly. Drinks are very expensive but a memorable part of the visit. My favorites were the cajun food (poboy and gumbo) and the famous fish and chips. The margaritas at La Cava de Tequila were astoundingly good (with a pricetag to match). For adults who don't need a ton of high-G roller coasters, EPCOT is just about perfect. I can't wait to return.

    Loved this park! We recently went to Epcot (unknown to us,…read moreit was smack in the middle of the garden and flower festival) and had a blast. As a child, I never appreciated Epcot. As an adult, I have quite the different opinion. We went here (all adults, no kids) and had so much fun. We tried a ton of the food stands for the festival, saw all the pavilions and just explored the park! Id say fitting the ENTIRE park in one day is HARD. I'd recommend atleast 1.5-2 days...our feet were hurting (and we were there from open to close) and we didn't get to do all the rides we wanted. The firework show in the evening is spectacular. It's been a long time since I've been to magic kingdom, but from what I remember of that show (from 10+ years ago) the Epcot show is definitely the winner. The entire story, music, lights, and fireworks are breathtaking. If you're going to Disney make sure you don't skip Epcot!

The Tower of Terror is another favorite and lives on here with its classic Twilight Zone theming. There are tons of great food and beverage options here, and the staff are consistently very friendly.

Now that I've experienced both, I think I'm good. We mainly went for Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, which was definitely the highlight of the day. I pre-purchased Lightning Lane and Single Passes, and while they helped for a few rides, it still felt difficult to accomplish everything we wanted. No times ever opened up for Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway, so we ended up waiting in the regular standby line for over an hour. Slinky Dog Dash never became available either, and eventually we just gave up. I honestly don't know where all these people come from -- every Disney park visit seems packed no matter what day we go! One thing I highly recommend is making advance reservations for Oga's Cantina. We were very happy we planned ahead because walk-up wait times were over an hour. The atmosphere was fantastic and it ended up being one of our favorite experiences of the day. I know Hollywood Studios is undergoing a lot of changes in 2026, so hopefully future visits will feel a little more balanced and fulfilling.

    We came here in 2025 and again in 2026 for the kid's birthday…read more There is a lot to say and most of it has already been said, so I will just summarize. -go early in the day. -bring your own water bottle (March 2026 the cheapest bottle of water was $4.25) -get a lightning pass and use it for rides, not shows -be prepared for lots of walking. Wear walking shoes. If it is spring or summer, bring sun screen. -be prepared for LOTS of people (if they drive like they walk, no wonder the US has such a high vehicular fatality rate). Be patient. -be prepared to overpay for just about everything. But oddly, the $300 per person multi-park ticket is a good deal. Why? Because you get so much entertainment. There are loads of Disney employees everywhere who are friendly and ready to help with any questions. They all are paid, so the $300 is actually not a bad deal when you consider how many employees there are in each park, how clean the parks are, and all the upkeep to maintain the animals and rides. -if you get tired, and you will, take a break. It's not fun if you get so tired that you get cranky. -Don't forget to enjoy the smiles on the kids' faces!

    This year I opted for Epcot After Hours since I was getting in late enough that a day park ticket…read moredidn't make sense, so I made sure to ride Frozen Ever After because there's always a massive line whenever we've been to Epcot. Now after having ridden the ride (think slightly more chill POTC but Frozen themed) it was short enough that anything over 45 minutes would be too much of a wait for it in my opinion. I'd either recommend a LL if they have them or riding it during EE or After Hours - otherwise personally I'd skip it. The boat was wet that we sat in, but seated in the second row I didn't see any splashing. I did find it interesting that the boat flipped backwards and the ride ended up being designed a bit more differently than I expected. All in all, it's a cute ride, but I felt like Remy had more bang for your buck - so unless I'm with someone who hasn't ridden it before (and it's EE/AH) I see myself continuing to skip it in the future.

    Back a few years later and we definitely wanted to experience Frozen's boat ride again. There's no…read moreoptions for single riders so we had to commit to the standby line, which is going to be a solid 30-60 minutes throughout the day. Frozen fans will love the scenes and music. As adults we loved the directional changes of the boat and small drops. You may feel water get in the boat - minimal but a few damp bottoms. Great ride for all ages.

    SAIL ACROSS THE SEA AND RESTORE THE HEART OF TE FITI…read more We really enjoyed doing the Moana Journey of Water located in the EPCOT World Nature Seas Pavilion. Park guests can stay dry or get as wet as they want while they take a self-guided journey through Moana's world. The Journey took us through a lush tropical island where we soon met the island goddess Te Fiti. On our journey, we played music with streams of water, raised water with the swish of our hands, parted a water fall and directed a dance of leaping streams of water. These are really fun activities for both young and old. Bring a set of dry clothes for your little ones who might enjoy getting wet on the splash pad :o). Try to time your journey with a character meet and greet with Moana. Plus don't forget to drop by the wonderful SeaBase aquarium that is near the Journey of Water.

    Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana is a great casual attraction at EPCOT; "casual" because it…read moretypically uses a standby entrance with little-to-no wait, allowing you to just stroll through at your own pace. Located in World Nature, the attraction is entirely outdoors. During the hot Florida summers, my wife likes to come here to get misted and cool off. It's almost like a high-end splash pad with interactive water features that respond to your movements. It has a fun, playful vibe. It's a nice break from the more intense rides. Tip: If you don't want to get wet, there's a clearly marked "Dry Path" throughout the entire experience. You can still see all the interactive features and the stunning 16-foot-tall Te Fiti figure. We had the Disney PhotoPass Memory Maker package and got some cool photos with Te Fiti (the nature goddess from the 2016 film) and several other beautiful water effects. Historical Note: This attraction is relatively new, opening in late 2023. It sits on the site of what used to be Innoventions West (which was demolished in 2021). Interestingly, while the West building was cleared for this garden, the Innoventions East building was kept and heavily renovated to become the new Connections Eatery and Creations Shop. This whole section of the park has officially been rebranded from Future World to World Nature.

    We were able to enjoy Typhoon Lagoon, one of Disney World's two water parks, using the benefit for…read moreDisney resort guests (free water park admission on check-in day). It was easy to enter using the My Disney Experience app, as it already had the tickets under my account, and it was also a quick bus ride from Disney Springs. Towels are complimentary, and lockers have a small fee. Changing rooms are located near the front of the park, and are reasonably ok considering how many people go through them. The floor is paved but pretty hot to walk on, so I still recommend wearing waterproof footwear. Waterproof phone holders are probably the #1 most useful item to bring here, other than sunscreen. There was a surprisingly large amount of people here on a Monday; pretty much all the chairs were taken around the wave pool, and there were scarce empty spots in the humongous body of water with equally gigantic waves. They're not waves for babies or beginners at all - they knock you down and drag you far, even where you think you're far enough, which is pretty rad. While a lot of people were crawling around the park, the wait times weren't too bad. The lazy river, Castaway Creek, was chill. There were people around us all the time, but enough space to still feel comfortable. I was amazed at how long the river went on for, and at how much varied scenery they detailed through the course. I also loved and hated the surprise waterfall you're forced to go under at the base of the mountain. I wasn't able to get through as many rides as I'd hope because of a brewing storm that eventually rained everyone out of the park. There are attractions for people of all thrill levels, though they seem more family-friendly than catered to daredevils. The rides are easy to get on, too - you just walk up, grab an available tube, and wait in line. There are also convenient refreshments littered at all ends of the roundabout park. The theming around the park is fantastic, including the iconic Miss Tilly atop Mount Mayday. Lagoona Gator both welcomes and waves you off at the entrance of the park.
