Tips for Epcot’s World Showcase Dining 

Start Your Dining at Epcot Early 

It shouldn’t be surprising that your family will eat a lot of food while on vacation at Epcot. Especially when you focus on the foods at Epcot World Showcase.  

So, start your eating adventures early in the day. This will ensure you don’t have kids or parents with hurting bellies before it is even noon.  

Trust me; you will want to follow this tip. It is the only way you can eat your way through the countries in a safe way.  

Plan Your Walking Routes 

There is so much to see and do while on vacation at Epcot. It is simple to become distracted and go off course. However, doing so will ensure you need to backtrack to see what you missed.  

I recommend choosing one side of the World Showcase. Then go from pavilion to pavilion until you have eventually seen them all.  You can even break up your day by visiting a few of the learning attractions at Epcot in between pavilions. 

Grab the Passports 

Picking up passports for the entire family is an easy way to make sure you don’t miss anything when dining at Epcot World Showcase. You can easily get your passports stamped at each pavilion. There is even space to write down the different foods you tried. And what you thought of those foods. 

Try the New Dishes

Your family may not be willing to try every single food they see while dining at Epcot. However, you should all be willing to try as many new dishes as possible.  

If you are really struggling with determining what to try, ask a Cast Member. They know what the most popular dishes are and will share what the best-tasting dishes are.  

Don’t Rush 

You will be tempted to rush from pavilion to pavilion to make sure you see them all during your vacation at Epcot. I recommend trying to take your time and spend a specific amount of time at each one.  

Take the time to watch the shows and entertainment. Talk to the Cast Members. Eat some of the food. Basically, just relish every moment and enjoy the time you are spending with your family.  

Share the Food with Family Members 

It is really easy to overindulge when you are dining at Epcot World Showcase. One of the best ways to avoid eating too much is to share the dishes with everyone in your family. You can always go back for more if you really like a dish.  

Don’t Consider Table Service 

Yes, sitting down to enjoy a meal is nice after hours of walking. However, if you are eating at every single pavilion, you shouldn’t sit down to a full meal.  

Dining in Epcot World Showcase is definitely an experience. Hopefully, you will utilize these tips for Epcot’s World Showcase dining during your next family vacation there.
