When to Visit

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 day of the year at EPCOT, so we know things like when the line at Soarin' is going to reach two hours long. This also means we know when the park has its lowest wait times. Check the Crowd Calendar to see how crowded EPCOT is, was, and is going to be.

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 Flower & Garden Festival in the spring, Food & Wine Festival in the summer, Festival of the Holidays in the fall, and Festival of the Arts in the winter. All of these events and their key dates are represented in our Crowd Calendar.

Planning Your Day

A day at EPCOT is a day well spent – if you know where to go and what to see. EPCOT’s must-dos include Soarin' Around the World, Remy's Ratatouille Adventure, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, plus the iconic Spaceship Earth. Test Track is popular, as well, but tends to break down often.

At TouringPlans we use data and math to make your vacation better.

Dining

Don't know where to eat in Epcot? On this page you'll find recommendations on where to eat, and where to avoid, as well as links to each restaurant's menu.

Since the beginning, dining has been an important part of Epcot’s entertainment product. World Showcase has many more restaurants than attractions, and Epcot has added bars, tapas-style eateries, and full-service restaurants faster than any park in memory.

Touring Plans Tip

If cost is an issue, make lunch your main meal. Entrees are similar to those on the dinner menu, but prices are significantly lower.

Each pavilion (except United States) has a beautifully seductive ethnic restaurant or two. While the food isn’t always compelling, the overall experience is great. If you fail to dine in World Showcase, you'll miss one of Epcot's more delightful features.

Over 120,000 families subscribe to TouringPlans.com every year.

Our Favorite Epcot Counter-Service Restaurants

If you want to sample the ethnic foods of World Showcase without eating in restaurants requiring advance reservations, we recommend these counter-service specialties:

France: Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie, for French pastries
Germany: Sommerfest, for bratwurst and Beck's beer
Japan Katsura Grill, for yakitori (meat or vegetables on skewers)
Norway Kringla Bakeri og Kafe, for pastries, open-face sandwiches, and Ringnes beer (our favorite)
United Kingdom Rose & Crown Pub, for Guinness, Harp, and Bass beers and ales
