TOURING NOTES

Epcot is so large it’s really difficult to do in one day, and we don’t recommend it if at all possible. We recognize that many families may only have one day for Epcot, however, so we’re sharing our best, one-day touring plan (which assumes entry by 9:00 am). If you can enter earlier, spend that extra time in Future World. Those lucky enough to have more time to spend at Epcot probably don’t need a touring plan at all. But if you’d like to use ours anyway, you can easily split Future World and World Showcase into two days—just add in all the optional attractions and plan to sleep in on the day you do World Showcase (as it opens later than Future World). As with our other touring plans, you can skip items in blue if you’re with young kids or sedate adults.

EPCOT ATTRACTIONS AT-A-GLANCE

The Allow column gives the amount of time (in minutes) you should allow for an attraction, assuming you do not have a FASTPASS and there are no ride breakdowns. Times in parentheses are approximate totals for all attractions in that pavilion—component times for that pavilion’s attractions are also in the attraction list.

The letters after the page numbers stand for the first two letters of the land in which that attraction is located: FW for Future World and WS for World Showcase.
