Adventure around the world and beyond

At EPCOT, thrills and discoveries go hand in hand – one moment you’re blasting off into space, the next, you’re tasting your way through 11 global pavilions. While you wander, meet Disney favourites like Moana, Belle and Elsa, travel through time on Spaceship Earth and – depending on when you visit – join lively festivals celebrating food, art and culture from across the globe.

Attractions for little ones

Kids can swap jokes with a totally tubular sea turtle at the interactive Turtle Talk with Crush. Plus, they can hop aboard a magical boat ride to Elsa’s Ice Palace on Frozen Ever After and join in the fun at the Beauty and the Beast sing-along for a chance to belt out their favourite tunes.

Festivals

EPCOT knows a thing or two about festivals – the Park holds four a year. The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival and the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival – during this one, you can taste exclusive dishes and drinks from around the world.

Food and drink

Our top picks? Lunch with Disney Princesses at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in the Norway Pavilion, a hearty helping of pork schnitzel and apple strudel from Biergarten Restaurant in the German Pavilion, and classic pub grub at the Rose & Crown in the UK Pavilion.
