Beer and wine from around the world and it’s own fireworks show. It is more for the parents than the kids.

Yes it's pretty cool.
If you go be sure to check out the following:
MIssion Mars which is a centrifuge astronaut training type thing. Very intense but so fun. There is also Mission Moon which is less intense
Soaring which is fun.

If eating on site be sure to check to out Garden Grill.

I almost barfed on Mission: Space, if that helps your decision making.

You will have more fun at Universal. I found Disney to be boring and a money trap for tourists. I wish we had spent the whole time at Universal instead of splitting it up with Disney.

We love Epcot. Walking around seeing the pavilions is awesome. Each country pavilion has little shops and shows you can go in and watch. My kids loved it.

Plus they've added Ratatouille, Guardians, Tron, and it has some great rides with Test Track, Frozen, and Soarin. They also completely redid the light show at the end of the night and built a whole new setup in the middle of the lake.

We all liked Epcot much more than Animal Kingdom.

Our kids love Epcot, have you been in a while?
Guardians of the Galaxy
Test Track
Ratatouille
Mission: Space
Soarin'
The Land
Spaceship Earth
Frozen
Nemo / Seas
Riding the gondola / monorail

It used to be a half day park, but it's now easily a full day for us. We may pop over to Hollywood after 2pm and try to catch a couple things there and return to Epcot late afternoon, too.

Guardians of the Galaxy is the best ride at any of the Disney parks- make sure you ride it if at all possible

Yeah and none of that was there when I went as a kid, circa 1990.

I remember...

Figment (world of imagination - is it still there?)
World tour - Japan sticks out, as well as the OG Norway ride with the eye at the end
Laser light show over the lake
Travelling through the human body ride

I don't have any memories from MK or MGM Studios.

It depends on why you’re going. If you want nothing but rides, stick with Universal.

Epcot has some nice rides, mission space (Orange), Guardians is really good I hear. But it’s more of an experience with the cultural parts than anything else.

Animal Kingdom is a better one to go to if you’re staying off site IMO, since it’s smaller and takes less time to go through with more thrill rides

It’s fun to do the drink around the world. And the food and wine festival is good. You get absolutely hammered doing the drink around the world. If you attempt it, start with Mexico.

Outside of that it’s pretty boring.

This is the correct take

Nobody should comment on Epcot unless you’ve been in the last year because they completely redid the park and have more that won’t open until next year

The whole point was to make it more kid friendly and have more thrill rides

If you like waddling around with a much of fat people who are about as interesting as a parking cone or some dryer lint, sure.
