Used to be a huge advocate for Epcot, but I think it has lost its magic touch. I can’t even keep up with all the changes that happen every 5 minutes. The lightning lane system is not that great anymore and it’s a bit of a rip off. Huge crowds always, it’s always interesting when Disney is supposed to be an escape from reality and they paint it to be a great place, but I’m over here anxious trying not to get bumped by anyone. Maybe do something about the pathways because it always feels dangerous. The prices on merch are crazy nowadays. I mean the ears used to only be $19.99, now it’s $40??? Insane.

My first time visiting EPCOT! We enjoyed the World Showcase the most, especially the Japan Pavilion.
The food was really good. Out of all the parks we visited in this trip, this was definitely the best food we had.
The Cast Members were great. We were celebrating a birthday and had our birthday button on, when they passed by, they would congratulate us. It’s a small detail, but it made it even more special.
We did have some issues with the rides. Test Track, Frozen Ever After, and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure paused several times throughout the day. I recommend being prepared for unexpected changes to your plans.
The park is beautiful, although it still has some attractions that feel a little outdated compared to others. I loved the Moana area and it was one of my favorite parts of the park.
Overall, I really enjoyed EPCOT. I would definitely visit again and recommend it!
EPCOT is hands-down one of the most unique and incredible theme parks we have ever visited! The perfect blend of futuristic innovation and global culture makes it an absolute standout.
We started our day with Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, and it completely blew us away. The backward launch and 360-degree movement make it the smoothest, most thrilling indoor roller coaster I've ever experienced. Exploring the World Celebration area and taking a peaceful stroll through the interactive Journey of Water Inspired by Moana was a fantastic, relaxing break from the crowds.
In the afternoon, we ate our way around the World Showcase, enjoying incredible snacks and drinks from different countries. The France pavilion is gorgeous, and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is such a delightful, family-friendly trackless dark ride that makes you feel like you've been shrunk down to the size of a rat. We ended the evening watching the nighttime spectacular over the lagoon. From taking a simulated hang gliding adventure on Soarin' to taking a classic 15-minute journey through the history of communication inside the giant, white geodesic sphere of Spaceship Earth, this park truly has something for everyone. Whether you are looking for world-class thrills, amazing food, or an educational stroll through different cultures, EPCOT delivers an unforgettable day. Five stars!

Park was busy not many modern rides, first ride we went on was Spaceship Earth, the ride broke down whist we were on it. We were stuck on it for 30 minutes before we had to be evacuated from it. When we tried to join the cue for Test Track it was closed for technical issues, so went across to Guardians of the Galaxy which was also down for technical issues. We spent nearly 4 hours on the park before giving up and coming away, and only managed to get on two rides (Soarin and Living with the Land) which seemed very underwhelming and outdated rides. We wasted a lot of our time and our hard earned money at this theme park with very little support from the customer service team on site. As a whole, we are very underwhelmed with the Disney theme parks and they did not live up to all the hype for us. Too busy, tired and old attractions and poor customer service, Universal Parks are much better, we won’t be going back to Disney again.

EPCOT has always been so much more than a theme park for us—it’s a place filled with some of our favorite memories. I’ve been visiting since I was a kid with my family, and over the years it has continued to hold a special place in my heart.
Even more meaningful, EPCOT was the place of my first date with my now wife. What started as a fun date has turned into years of memories together, and we still love coming back whenever we can.
Of course, one of our favorite EPCOT traditions is drinking around the world, especially stopping in Mexico to visit our favorite bartenders. They always make us feel like we’re visiting old friends, which makes those trips even more special.
Between the food, drinks, atmosphere, music, World Showcase, and all the memories we’ve made here, EPCOT will always be one of our favorite places in Orlando. It’s not just somewhere we visit, it’s part of our story.
If you’re visiting Orlando, EPCOT is a must-do. And if you’re lucky enough to make some memories here with the people you love, it becomes a place you’ll always want to come back to.
