Plus they've added Ratatouille, Guardians, Tron, and it has some great rides with Test Track, Frozen, and Soarin.


Tron is in Magic Kingdom. Though it seems like it would be more of an Epcot ride.

My son enjoyed it. Walking around the different countries was fun. It's not a park with rides and shite like the others but still fun

My favorite park while we were there recently. The new guardians of the galaxy and ratatouille rides were both really great. My daughter got to meet anna and elsa. I got to chill with my son and drink beer all day. Fireworks show over the water was pretty great as well. We did MK twice, but I would have rather done EPCOT twice instead.

It felt like everybody won there.

Guardians of the Galaxy
Mission: Space
Test Track
Soarin'
Spaceship Earth
Frozen Ever After
Ratatouille
Journey into Imagination
Living with the Land
The Seas w/ Nemo
Gran Fiesta Tour

That's a bunch of rides.

They have several pavilions with things just for kids to run around and interact with. It really is more than just a place to go drinking. Don't get me wrong, I love a $23 margarita as much as the next person!

Epcot was better on the last trip than it was 5 years earlier.




That said it's still a Disney park and I've given them my last penny until they decide to go un-woke

Depends on what you want out of it.

I'm sure it's been said it's not a "rides" park, but it is definitely a fun way to get a taste of a bunch of different countries and their respective food cultures. There are still a few good rides, too. Don't skip out on the one that goes through the epcot golf ball btw. Mission earth or spaceship earth or whatever.

To me, Epcot is a day to set about 300 bucks aside to absolutely spend HOWEVER much you want to eat and drink. I'm sure if you have kids, drinking too much may not be an option, but you can still eat a looooot.

Epcot also has not a lot of places to hide from the sun so don't go during hot months. Basically, go from late october thru march or april.

also, don't skip soarin. get a middle seat, not a side seat!

I get it, but you should know that not every Disney employee is a left wing alphabet warrior. My wife and I have friends and family in Orlando that have worked at Disney for years.

I doubt companies will go un-woke in our lifetime, sadly.

The orange mode was one of the best ride experiences I ever had when I rode it over 10 years ago.

Maybe I’m a weirdo but I like Epcot probably best if the parks. Not as crowded to me. Rides aren’t great though but I’d say it’s def worth a visit.

You can tell the people who haven't been to Epcot recently in this thread. Went this summer and it was our favorite of the four parks (Universal and Islands of adventure are better, but speaking purely Disney World).

The food around the world festival going on while we were there was great. Ratatouille is a fun ride, and Guardians is the best ride in the Disney parks IMO.

If you enjoy long lines, fat people, and weirdos you'll love it


I went recently when they had the preseason soccer games there. I had a good time. Some things lines are long but I just avoid that or came back. Ate and drank a lot. Yes there are fatties but also women that barely wear clothes. Some of the little side music shows I enjoyed.

But as others said, if you looking for thrills thats not the park.

Figment was a great ride until they changed it in the 90s to theme it with Honey I Shrunk the Kids (Audience). Half the ride is gone. The original had a more "Inside Out" vibe.

You mean the FX show for adults. Similar to how Rick and Morty or South Park is advertised. Just because some dumbest congressman says something doesn't make it true.

Are you saying Universal has better food?
Universal has ONE decent dine in restaurant and only a few decent counter service places.
