EPCOT OVERVIEW

Overview EPCOT features two distinct park sections, Future World and World Showcase, both full of attractions, dining, and entertainment. Throw in EPCOT's seasonal festivals like Flower & Garden in the spring and Food & Wine in the fall, and you've got a park that requires a lot of know-how to get around. TouringPlans tools like the Crowd Calendar, Ticket Calculator, and Custom Touring Plans will get you the most wanted EPCOT experiences without the hassle of time wasted standing in line. Make your EPCOT visit memorable for the time you spent riding Test Track with your family, not the time you spent waiting in line for Soarin'.

WHEN TO VISIT EPCOT

Walt Disney World's second park is also its second most popular. EPCOT can be very crowded during holidays, festivals, and special events, so it is very important to know what's happening before you plan your visit. We track wait times every minute of every day at EPCOT, so we know things like when the line at Soarin' is going to reach 3 hours long. This also means we know when it has it lowest crowds. Check the Crowd Calendar to see how crowded EPCOT is, was, and is going to be.

Foodies and imbibers flock to EPCOT every fall during the Food & Wine Festival. This popular event brings tourists and locals in droves to the park, especially on weekends. You can see how EPCOT's special events affect the Crowd Levels throughout the year and you can even use the Crowd Tracker to track-a-day. We'll notify you when the crowd levels have changed.

Special Events at EPCOT

Special Events affect traffic patterns at EPCOT more than any other park. If you're not there for a special event you may find yourself amidst thousands of guests who are. EPCOT hosts the Food & Wine Festival in the fall and the Flower & Garden Festival in the spring. All the key events are outlined on the Calendar.


PLANNING YOUR DAY AT EPCOT

Planning

"We love Touring Plans. We were able to go during spring break, which had 10 out of 10 crowds, and we were able to accomplish all of the rides and attractions we wanted. I will always utilize the touring plan system!"

- Melissa K.

A day at EPCOT is a day well spent - if you know where to go and what to see. EPCOT has several must-dos like Soarin', Spaceship Earth, and Harmonious. Test Track is popular, as well, but tends to break down often. Our mobile app Lines will tell you the real time status of every attraction - operating hours, whether it is broken down or not, how long you'll wait in line. Use it to stay one step ahead.
