We are around the world! I love going to all the Food Festivals! Also the had Soaring through California running this time. I enjoyed the new scenes and scents on that ride! Also went to see Brendan Fraser at the Christmas Candlelight processional.

A trip to EPCOT felt like a trip around the world. I found unique, authentic, and eccentric food and merchandise items. It was fun to re-explore this park where always found something new, and with the current construction going on I may have to return. There were some new attractions like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind (Virtual Queue or Lightning Lane purchase only) and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure (Genie+ preferred).
Sadly I did not see as many street performers versus the last time but seems a bit more food options. I did enjoy sampling different Coca-Cola products from around the world and too bad cold not buy the one that tasted like cucumber & Sprite. The food was really good and fun to experiment. The cast members are also from all over the world and very nice and friendly, and wasn’t sure they even spoke English but nodded and smiled.
Some of the hidden places either I forgot or never explored was The Land where I rode the Living with the Land. There was a huge atrium with a restaurant called Garden Grill Restaurant, and saw some Disney characters greeting guests.
The front section of EPCOT had been renovated and still is where the gift shop was huge. Spaceship Earth looked amazing at night with the LED light display. There was a lot to see and experience where in the past we stayed at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn where recommend it where you can walk to EPCOT.
The park is kept very clean and not as congested like theater parks for very easy to walk around.
Epcot is my favourite park, especially with the addition of the Guardians of the Galaxy ride. I could add details, but there is so much to explore, and I wouldn't want to spoil it for you. Enjoy this underrated gem.

We hadn’t been to Epcot in over 2 years because of all the annoying construction and we didn’t know if we’d like it with our 1 year old.
Surprisingly he absolutely loved it and we had such a great time. They have a playground area for children to run around and basically burn energy and he had a great time! Perfect for when they’re a little overwhelmed with everything else going on around them, it gives them time to play and you can sit around watching them or stand close next to them.
The new Moana walk through attraction was also a favourite! If you have little ones who love water they’re going to love this area. You might get a little wet so keep that in mind and children will definitely get wet with all the interactive areas and splash pad they have at the end of the walk through so make sure you take a change of clothes for them just in case.
The Ratatouille ride is ok for us, not a favourite since it’s 3D. Our son didn’t enjoy it either.
We went during Festival of the Holidays and it was extremely packed making it quite uncomfortable! But we did try the Salmon and the beef from the Canada booth and absolutely loved both! Definitely worth a try.
Not that crowded because it rained cats and dogs. We went during the international food and wine tasting September- Mid November:
1. Food assortment is fair (On a scale 1- 10 a modest 4)☹️. Do not miss the Australian lamb chop🥰
2. Pricey, Epcot admission + price for food and drink
3. Portions small
4. No wine flights anywhere, for tasting🤐
* Disney staffed the international booth with students from that country, and they are fluent in their language🙂. Fun if you had a chance to speak with them.
5. The international displays were interesting
6. The highlight was the Guardians of the Galaxy Rollercoaster. AAA+ It requires a virtual queue, and you must register at exactly 7am or 1pm. You will not take a photo because you will be too busy holding on!🤪
7. Did not see fireworks. Lots of rain! Did see Epcot ball at night🙂. See photo.
The crowds are always the worst part. Unavoidable apparently. I chose the dates and days with the lowest attendance averages and still felt like it was overrun! Still a magical time. The coolest time was after the firework show when most people were gone and we were just wondering around the park until the last minute.

Epcot, at night, amazing!
I was able to attend an extended hours event so we could visit at night. The park is huge! Having never been to any Disney park, I was confused when people said it's "the biggest small park". It has a larger surface area but a smaller number of attractions in comparison to the other Disney Parks, less condense. Additionally, after a certain time, some rides are closed for the night, they don't communicate that or even really tell you which ones until you walk to that attraction. That said, the 6 hours we were there for the event was barely enough time to do all the available attractions and not feel rushed. Our feet were killing us the next day though, I would avoid trying to do back-to-back park days, plan for a day of rest.
Drinking around the world was a fun experience, but if you have a high tolerance, getting a buzz may be cost prohibitive. Food portions at the stations are tiny, good for sampling and it keeps costs reasonable, but will not fill you up, eat lunch before you get here.
It definitely did not feel like a "kiddie park" and I can believe it probably is the "least Disney" of the parks, but also, we were there at night. I definitely felt I got a Disney experience.
I LOVE Epcot! So many different countries cultures in one place with amazing rides to match! Not to mention Gaurdians of the Galaxy, GOD i love that ride! Epcot is a beautiful place I definitely recommend!
I'm not a Disney fan. It's not that I dislike Disney, it's just I'm kind of ambivalent to it.
I happened to be in town for a work conference, and a couple of colleagues go to Disney frequently. I got an Epcot ticket for after 5:00 p.m., and we went for the Food and Wine Festival. It was a blast! I would definitely go back again. Take the water taxi from the dolphin and swan hotels, and it dumps you right into the country side of Epcot.
The entire staff was very nice, my ticket was supposed to have a reservation for the evening, but it did not load properly. Staff helped to resolve it without a problem.
Firework show at 9:00 was fun. There's a ton to do so I never expected to finish it all using an after 5:00 p.m. access ticket. But definitely worth the price of admission for the good time that it was.
Be prepared to walk a lot. Kids had a blast. Food was great. Expect to spend money.
They have great music late evening which was great.
Plan to arrive between 9-10 am mid week to find good parking.
