EpcotNewest Review: ... can test out yourself which can be great fun. Spaceship earth is my personal favourite ride in Epcot - it has recently been updated and refurbished too so its better than ever - you sit in a slow moving train that travels through time to show how communications have evolved through the decades. The other section of Epcot is World Showcase. World Showcase is a group of pavilions set around a ... more |

Over the years that I have been visiting Orlando, Epcot has slowly become one of my favourite parks. The first few times I visited, although I enjoyed it I got bored quite easily but I was quite young then so perhaps this was something to do with it.More recently I have discovered that there really is a lot more to Epcot than you originally see. Firstly an overview of the park, EPCOT stands for Experimental Prototype community of tomorrow. The park is devided into 2 areas, Futureworld and World Showcase. Futureworld has the main attractions of the park and as the name would suggest has a futuristic theme about it. The main attractions here are ... Read the complete review

Epcot is the second of 4 parks in Walt Disney World. It was opened Oct 1st 1982. The park is an adaptation of Walt Disney dream. The dreamed of a community where there were no unemployment, not homeless, clean and beautiful surroundings and dedicated services. These were never realized due to Walt Disney's Passing but some of the ideas were brought forwards to form this park and the community of Walt Disney World. EPCOT stands for Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow. The parks main icon is Spaceship Earth (Of the big Golf ball) Standing a massive 180ft tall at the entrance of the park.

EPCOT (Experimental Proto-type Community of Tomorrow) is split into two areas that have differing opening times. Future World opens at 9am and is first as you enter the park and World Showcase opens at 11am. Entrance to EPCOT is dominated by the shiny golf-ball that is the Spaceship Earth. It stands 51metres high and can be seen from most of the park. The ride that is housed inside has been completely re-invented since its original opening and was relaunched last year. Passengers travel in a time capsule that takes them along a journey discovering the progress of communication and technology. This is now an interactive experience and you get to design ...

Epcot was my most vivid memory of Disney as a child and it has not changed! The entrance is simply spectacular and really sets the scene. If you have never been to Epcot I recommend you head for Soarin first. This is a simulator type ride of being in a hang glider soaring high over various different parts of the world. It is fantastic and atmospheric and i would ride it again and again. It was one of the few rides I was prepared to queue for 50 minutes for! For children I recommend the Kim Possible missions. They are given a mobile telephone,place to meet and then must solve clues in each of the different worlds within World Showcase - we did ... Read the complete review

Welcome to Walt Disney's Experimental People's Community Of Tomorrow or EPCOT for short. This was the second Theme Park to open in Walt Disney World. It is possibly Disney's most grown up (& educational) park. I will stick to reviewing the attractions as I the shops & restaurants are very similar to the rest of Walt Disney World. EPCOT is split into 2 sections. FUTURE WORLD is where the vast majority of the rides are. WORLD SHOWCASE is a trip around the world with the sights & sounds of 11 different countries. When you arrive, you walk into FUTURE WORLD through leave a legacy. This is an opportunity to leave a small ... Read the complete review
