Epcot Center

The kids loved it. Be sure to get fastpass, as the lines can be long. Another cool thing was the Turtle Talk with Crush, perfect for kids. We also did Circle of Life and Living with the Land. Both were good, but not super-thrilling. We skipped the imagination area as we ran out of time, and the show is considered to be too intense for children. The flower show building, with with wonderful topiaries, a butterfly pavilion, and amazing flowers was just awesome! Spaceship Earth was another very cool ride.

THE PARK: Epcot is a theme park located in Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando, Florida. It was the second park to open in Disney World, after Magic Kingdom. It is dedicated to international culture and technological innovation. It opened in October 1982 as Epcot Center, which changed to Epcot in 1993. It was the largest Disney park until the opening of Animal Kingdom in 1998. The surface is more than twice the size of Magic Kingdom and divided into two sections, Future World and World Showcase. Future World is dedicated to science, with themed areas on the Earth, the seas, the imagination, the future, and energy ... It has exhibits, simulator areas, interactive spaces and art attractions. In Future World you will find different pavilions devoted to technology. Each has several attractions, activities, restaurants or shops.

• "The Land": This pavilion pays tribute to our planet Earth and its biodiversity. Here you will find "Soaring" where you can go paragliding. This attraction is the most requested and the best one in the park. It's great and can accommodate almost everyone, even those who usually suffer from dizziness. Use Fastpass to avoid long lines.

• "The Seas with Nemo and Friends" is a pavilion dedicated to the seas. Here the whole family can discover the wonders of the sea with Nemo. Don't miss "Turtle Talk with Crush" where you can directly ask turtle Crush all your questions about the sea. There's also an aquarium. Older children can do without the flag tour it if you want to see the entire park.

• "Imagination" Journey with Figment: On board a "Omnimover" get a tour of the laboratories of the imagination accompanied by a dragon called "Figment". It's for kids, and if you don't have any, you can skip it.

• "Universe of Energy" : A pavilion dedicated to energy. You will the different types of energies and visit the dinosaurs, and watch how oil that is generated. This attraction takes 30 min and you'll be amazed when you sit in the movie theater and all the seats change positions to become a lane that will take you to the time of the dinosaurs.

• "Mission Space" An attraction so intense they had to make two versions. The green version for those who do not like strong emotions and the orange version for those who like excitement. It's a simulator, not a roller coaster, and it will take you on your first mission to Mars. The Orange version is quite strong and you will feel takeoff, your face will get jostled and your feet will struggle to leave the ground. The circular movement can make you dizzy.

• "Test Track": Here, you will become a test dummy in a car. So hold on tight for wet roads, brake tests, curves, and driving at full speed.

• Spaceship Earth is the first major attraction of the park. The big ball represents the park. A huge structure, it's 55 meters wide, 60 meters high, weighs 16 million tons and holds a volume of approximately 750,000 cubic meters. It's supported by six huge pillars embedded in the ground 30 meters apart. The attraction is a chronological walk from the Stone Age (approx.. Between 30 to 40,000 years BC) through the Ancient Egypt, Rome, Greece, the European Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Modern Age, the Industrial Revolution, today, and touches on the future. It lasts about 17 minutes and if you want to enjoy it without a huge line, you should go just before the park closes, because the lines are long when the park opens. At the attraction's exit is AT&T's Global Neighborhood, which demonstrates advances in telecommunications. There are also 11 World pavilions that showcase 11 different countries.
