Make Reservations for dinner
Each country has a restaurant china is good, mexico is the coolest on the inside, italy is great, france is good, USA is dumb (burgers), canada is weird I suggest against it, UK is fish & chips, Norway is wierd I suggest against it you must make a reservation they do this via video conference monitors underneath the big ball
spaceship earth. find the reservations monitors, talk to the screen make yourself a reservation for between 5:30 and 6 ish as soon as you walk in the park do this The Tech Side
Universe of Energy
leave that going toward the Exxon ride the whole ride takes like 20-30 minutes don't worry about lines Wonders of Life
don't eat there, no good you can hit the playing floor of wonders for a bit Mission space
it used to be and it was a people mover ride so there was never a line Supposed to be really good Test Track
there could be a bit of a line, but it is worth it super ride one of the best ever different from any ride you ever was on not much else to see at test track exept shiny cars from GM Imagination
the ride may not have a line but it is elementary it is worth it and it ties that part of the pavilion together ride the ride THEN when you leave the ride go Upstairs there are stairs & an escalator Imagination is the biggest photo Opp the waterfall that flows up the building made out of glass the colors and hopping fountains. there are things to play with and usually a photo gallery upstairs it's gr8 The Land
eat lunch here by now it will be lunchish they have a sandwich shop, baked potatoe bar, soup thingy, ice cream thingy there is a ride there it is very interesting a slow boat all the veggies served in epcot are grown at the land there is a food show thing too if you miss it, don't sweat it if there is no wait and you can get a seat, go ahead and do it The Sea
no ride, but a big aquarium, it's neat you can spend as much time here as you would like Spaceship earth
everyone else goes here first so go there last minimal line usually by this point (mid afternoon) plus you can take a stroll through the communicores at the base of the ball also, there is a taste of coke that is neat on one side can't miss it because it is snowing in the doorway The Countries of the World Side
World Showcase
depending on the time vs the time of your reservation is how you approach the countries eg if you have a reservation for mexico and you are only an hour from it, go to Norway / china Norway has a boat ride china has a cinema 360 both may eat up that time if you have a reservation for italy and it is 2 hours away start at the canada side and work your way around canada has a cinema 360 also it takes 10 - 15 minutes you may catch a street play or something at the UK, but otherwise, very little to see and do same for france same for morocco Japan has a movie that I have only seen once or twice and I only ate there once and didn't feel it was worth the price USA the show there is really good try and fit this in very little else to see or do italy has very little to see or do germany has a wine tasting thing that is neat but no ride or shows italy may also have a street play at various times I have only ever caught this stuff on accident you already saw that the boat ride in mexico was down Norway has a cool boat ride it's worth it because a) it's neat b) norwegian chix are hot oh yeah all the people at each country are from that country Illuminations
there is a gift shop near the water yes, they use the water fountains as movie screens also lasers firewords gift shop near the water in the walkway between TestTrack and Imagination anywhere close to the water in front of that gift shop is great viewing can see all the countries lit up (they do each one individually) and you are near the speakers (all done to music) and can see the films and lasers on the water |
