The kids will really love that last one, since computers look much different nowadays!

Living with the Land

An attraction called Living with the Land can be found over in the Future World of Epcot. This learning attraction at Epcot was designed to show how important preservation and conservation really is.

Impressions de France

Impressions de France is one of the many learning attractions within the World Showcase at Epcot. This specific attraction is inside Palais du Cinema. It is an eighteen-minute movie that shares the different destinations around France.

Once you have finished watching the movie, you will want to explore all the other countries within the World Showcase. Eating and drinking are the two most popular activities in this section of Epcot.

Understand How the Lightning Lane Selections Work

The Lightning Lane Passes have changed once again at Disney World theme parks. This includes Epcot. You can now choose a Lightning Lane Multi Pass to enjoy multiple attractions during your family’s visit. Or you can choose a Lightning Lane Single Pass for those attractions not included in the Multi Pass.

With a Multi Pass, you can choose up to three attractions prior to your visit. You can purchase two Single Lane Passes for your visit each day.

I can help you determine whether the Lightning Lane Passes are worthwhile for your family vacation at Epcot when I am planning your trip.

Download My Disney Experience for Mobile Ordering

You will be using the My Disney Experience app quite often during your Epcot vacation. Most of the quick-service restaurants will want you to place a mobile order for pick-up.

I recommend downloading this app before getting on the plane to go on your Disney vacation.

Consider Your Vacation Time Around the Different Festivals

Epcot is notorious for holding festivals throughout the year. If one festival interests your family more than all the others, I recommend planning your family vacation for the time that festival is held.

The current festival schedule is as follows:

• Festival of Arts – January through February
• Flower and Garden Festival – March through July
• International Food and Wine Festival – July through November
• Festival of Holidays – late November through December

Take a Leisurely Stroll After the Fireworks

Most people will rush right out of the park as soon as the fireworks are over. However, there is nothing wrong with taking a leisurely stroll towards the exit. I recommend doing a little late-night souvenir shopping since the stores won’t be crowded.

These are the best learning attractions, plus what you need to know about Epcot. Your family will love the ambiance that is found throughout this Disney Park. I guarantee you will make multiple memories with your family, no matter how old your kids are.
