Are you planning a trip to Walt Disney World? Me too! And man, can it be daunting to decide which attractions, entertainment, dining, and special events are right for your perfect vacation. Walt Disney World does an amazing job at keeping their parks current, with new shows, parades, and attractions appearing on the regular. But it can be a lot to keep track of. Trust me, I know. My desk looks like a crime board right now, various touring itineraries connected by red string with post it notes adding additional information.
Epcot has 12 rides but more shows and interactive experiences than any other park at Walt Disney World. There are street, theatre, and interactive entertainments. There are exhibits, exhibits, and movies. There are character experiences, indoor and out! There are some show stopping fireworks, and unique cultural shopping. There is something for every age and every member of your party.
Wouldn’t it be great if there was some kind of master list about all the various goings on in the different Disney Parks? It would, wouldn’t it? Call me Genie, because your wish is my command.
Here’s what you get: the name of the attraction, the location, times (for shows and parades), height requirements, and whether or not they’re FastPass or Rider Swap eligible.
A quick note about making FastPasses at Epcot. The attractions at Epcot are divided into tiers. When choosing your FastPasses, you get one pick from Tier 1 and two from Tier 2. Just like at the other parks, once you use all three, you can make your next FastPass, and it can be from either Tier.
Please be aware, times will change based on season for most shows and parades, so I’ve listed here the general time you can expect to see them (AM or PM). Make sure you are checking the Disney site for exact times before you leave for your trip. I have not included seasonal events like Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, since those events have their own special entertainments and character experiences. Finally, Disney releases refurbishment schedules a few months in advance, so be sure to check before you leave to see if any of your favorites will be down during your trip.
As of April 17th, 2018 here are the current attractions and entertainment available at Epcot.
