renovation

a week from sunday im heading to Florida again for a week .
we be going to Disney World for Tuesday and Wednesday. we be staying on site and i have been there before. but never went to Epcot except to the GM test track. so i understand a missed a whole lot to do and see there.
anyway my question is to see Epcot is a 1/2 day enought time to plan there. and what rides and areas are a must.

we bought a Disney magic your way pkg -with park hopper option and meals. we have a 9 yr girl and 13 yr boy with us. and both have never been to Disney world

Epcot is an interesting place but it's the lowest compared to the other parks.

Test track is the best thing at Epcot. Other attractions that are ok are the aquarium and maybe one more that I forget. The international expo is ok, but if you've traveled internationally it may be a little dumbed down. But seriously, I'd spend that time at MGM or Animal Kingdom than at epcot.

Hi -

You will be going at one of the busiest times of the year, so please make sure you start early - be there before the park opens or risk standing in line a lot.

Epcot has some fun attractions - I would definitely recommend Soaring, Mission Space, Seas with Nemo and Friends, and Test Track. Soaring fills up very quickly, so you should try and ride it first thing in the morning, or if you go to the park later in the day, secure a FastPass. Mission Space is awesome - they have the original spinning version, and one that doesn't spin in case you feel it might be too much. Spaceship Earth has just been redone - so probably worth a visit. The World showcase is a lot of fun - and worth taking time to visit the shops and demonstrations. The kids working there are all from the native countries, and love to talk about their homes.

If you can, consider staying for the Illuminations - the Fireworks show at the end of the night. It is nothing short of amazing! We love to find a bench near France and grab a dessert and enjoy the show.

There are a lot of good Disney sites - I recommend WDWINFO.com for a lot of great information.

Since you are staying on site, you might consider making dinner reservations, or Priority Seatings. (More info on the WDWInfo site if you need it). Also, be sure and make use of the FastPass system. It is free to all guests, and is effectively an electronic placeholder for guests that allow you to come back later in the day and ride with little or no wait.

Visiting Disneyworld can be a wonderful experience for your family - and I hope you have a great time. I am happy to give you more specific information if you would like - feel free to PM me and I will respond.

All the best!
