If you like thrills, then be sure to ride the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith – it’s “radical”! There’s indoor themed adventures too, with Star Wars rides and 3D experiences, photo opportunities with characters and Jedi training school for the little ones. Eat in a 50’s themed diner (you’ll think you’re on “Happy Days”!). Or take a back-stage tour to see how the movies are made. This fabulous, movie inspired theme park is a family favorite! Let the kids meet Darth Vader or Chewy the Wookie during your visit. By the time you’ve made it around one side of the lake, you can visit Future World with less crowds.

From there, work your way back around the lake (east or west) and take in the different countries, cultures, food and drink as you walk back. Then hop onto one of the (FREE) ferry boats to take you to the far side and one of the World showcase country pavilions. If you want to beat the crowds, we recommend that you enter the park and walk to the lagoon. Sit and enjoy some Japanese sushi, or some English “Fish and Chips” – or have a French patisserie – it’s all here!

There are 11 different “countries” represented in their own image around the lake. This is a fabulous way to sample culture, art, food and drink from around the world.

The second “half” of the park is the World Showcase that surrounds the lagoon lake. There’s something for everyone here, but the theme is definitely less theme park and more educational experience to our mind! Epcot has 2 main areas including Future World around the Spaceship Earth globe at the entrance. Walk in through “ Spaceship Earth” and visit this wonderful theme park for a day.
