Many think Epcot is a park that can be skipped and I could not disagree with them more! This park has something for park goers of all ages. After reading this, you won't dream of it.
Depending on the time of the year, Epcot is home to four very popular festivals. Each one of these have themed food and beverage booths, festival entertainment and exclusive merchandise.
In 2022, Epcot International Festival of the Arts will run from January 14th through February 21st. Catch the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival March 2nd through July 4th. The topiaries will blow your mind! Mid-Summer through late Fall you can enjoy the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival and you won't want to miss the Epcot Festival of the Holidays running late November through the holidays.
There is SO much food to choose from...From sit-down dining to quick-service to snacking around the World Showcase! Let's not forget the beverages. Enjoy cuisine from around the World showcase. One of my all time favorite stops is Club Cool! Sample Coca-Cola soft drinks from around the world. Did I mention it is totally FREE?
You can find some of your favorite characters and princesses throughout the park. While mom and dad are checking out all the delicious treats throughout the World Showcase, the littles can meet some of their favorite Disney Princesses. There are several other areas you can spot Mickey, Donald, Pluto and more! Keep you eye open, you never know where you may run into them!
Rides for the entire family! With 11 rides to choose, from character themed rides like Frozen Ever After, The Seas with Nemo and Friends, Journey Into Imagination with Figment, Gran Fiesta Tour starring The Three Caballeros, the BRAND NEW Remy's Ratatouille Adventure and coming summer of 2022 Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind to others like Soarin' Around the World, Test Track and Spaceship Earth. You will find something to please even the pickiest rider!
You can sing along with Belle at Beauty and the Beast Sing-A-Long, dance in the "streets" with the JAMMitors located in World Celebration, or catch a show at one of the 11 countries around the World Showcase. In the Japan Pavilion, Matsuriza - traditional Japanese drummers perform musical arrangements on giant drums. Japanese Taiko drums have been enthralling audiences for years in religious ceremonies, festivals and even on battlefields as soldiers prayed for victory. Witness the thrill of Taiko for yourself! You also won't want to miss Sergio in the Italy pavilion. This master juggler and mime will have you in stitches. That is just a few of them!
Let's not forget about Beacons of Magic, a light show within Spaceship Earth symbolizing beacons of possibility and optimism or Harmonious, a night time spectacular with Disney music and stories from all over the world.
Be sure to not to miss out on all this and more your next trip. You won't be disappointed!
