Future World and
World Showcase open and close at different
times. Future World typically opens at 9:00
am and closes at 7:00 pm (though some of the
headliner attractions often stay open after
7:00), while World Showcase usually opens at
11:00 am and closes at 9:00 pm (at which time
the IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth show
begins on World Showcase Lagoon).
Park hours may change during certain times
of the year, so it's always a good idea to
consult your park guide when you arrive. |

|
|
| The most important
tip is to enjoy the magic. Part of that begins
with the planning
of your trip, but once you're there, remember
to let yourself be immersed in the fantasy.
Epcot has so much to offer besides the attractions.
Take time to explore the different lands and
to enjoy the little things. Don't be in such
a hurry to get from point A to point B, there's
so much more to see in between! |
|

|
Of course, the
attractions are the big draw, and you will
want to experience as many of them as you can.
To enable you to visit the attractions you
want without getting caught up in rigid timetables
and frantic scurrying, try the following tips:
| • |
Visit the headliner attractions during
less busy times to avoid long waits.
Good times to visit are first thing
in the morning and during parades or
shows. |
| • |
Take advantage of FastPass whenever
you can. A good rule of thumb is to
use FastPass if the standby wait time
is more than 20 minutes. While you're
waiting for your FastPass time to arrive,
visit some of the less crowded attractions
or do some exploring. If you want to
get a FastPass for Test Track or Soarin,
be sure to do it as early inthe day
as possible; FastPasses for those attraction
tend to run out by mid-day. |
| • |
Visit during Extra Magic Hours so
you can ride the major attractions
as often as you like with little or
no wait (it's also a great time to
experience the magic of the park). |
| • |
If you are staying for several days,
don't try to cram too much into a single
day. Spread yourself out so you can
take your time and enjoy everything
the Magic Kingdom has to offer. |
|
|
|
|
| If your time allows,
take a break in the middle of the day. Not
only does this allow you to avoid the busiest
time of day when crowds are the largest, it
will give you a chance to experience more of
the magic that Walt Disney World has to offer.
Visit one of the deluxe resorts for lunch,
or take a swim at your resort's pool. By the
time you get back to the park, you'll be refreshed
and ready for an evening of fun! |
|
|
|
| Getting to the
Epcot can be half the fun. Take a monorail
ride from the Magic Kingdom, or enjoy a boat
ride from any of the Epcot resorts. |
|
|
|
| Another strategy
to avoid the crowds is to do everything at
the "wrong time". For example, eat
lunch at eleven and dinner at three. You'll
avoid the mealtime crush at the restaurants
and also be able to enjoy the parks while everyone
else is eating. You can also leave early to
avoid the crowd of people trying to leave the
park at day's end. If you watching IllumiNations,
hang around and let the crowds jostle their
way out of the park. You can wander around
for a while, soaking up the nighttime ambience
of World Showcase, and then leave after the
crowds have thinned a bit. (Don't worry about
being able to catch your transporation, remember
that many people are still in Epcot enjoying
a late dinner, so the monorail, boats and buses
will be running for quite a while). |
