EPCOT Touring Plans
Our EPCOT Touring Plans are field-tested, step-by-step itineraries for seeing all major attractions at Epcot with a minimum of waiting in line. They're designed to keep you ahead of the crowds while the park is filling in the morning, and to place you at the less crowded attractions during Epcot's busier hours. They assume you would be happier doing a little extra walking rather than a lot of extra standing in line.
Touring Epcot is much more strenuous and demanding than touring the other theme parks. Epcot, with its international pavilions on a 1.2-mile path ringing the World Showcase Lagoon, requires about twice as much walking as the other parks. And, unlike Magic Kingdom, Epcot has no effective in-park transportation; wherever you want to go, it's always quicker to walk. Our plans will help you avoid crowds and bottlenecks on days of moderate to heavy attendance, but they can't shorten the distance you have to walk. (Wear comfortable shoes.) On days of lighter attendance, when crowd conditions aren't a critical factor (see Crowd Calendar), the plans will help you organize your tour.

Touring Plans for Parents with Small Children
We developed many of these plans when preparing to visit the parks with our own children (ages 2 through 8). Most plans offer a mid-day break of at least three hours back at your hotel. It's debatable whether the kids will need the nap more than you, but you'll thank us later, we promise. Expect these touring plans to focus on the most appealing attractions for younger kids such as The Seas with Nemo and Friends and Frozen Ever After.
Touring Plans for Parents with Tweens
These plans are designed for children ages 8 to 12. They include every attraction rated three stars and higher by this age group, and they set aside ample time for lunch and dinner.
Touring Plans for Adults
The one-day plans are designed for adults and teens wishing to see as much of the park as possible in a single day.
Touring Plans for Seniors
We offer touring plans specifically designed for seniors that take walking distances and attraction ratings from this group into account. If you like to get to the park early, virtually all of the plans designed to start at park opening are also designed to work during Early Theme Park Entry.

Which EPCOT Touring Plan Is Right For You?
