overview
Epcot is a big park. It was originally called 'EPCOT', an acronym for 'Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. While it never became the originally planned community, a new acronym is now frequently cited, 'Every Person Comes Out Tired'. Be warned, this is accurate humor, you will leave tired.

World Showcase is a great place to leisurely explore. The eleven countries featured are set around a lake. Within each country you will find native food, shopping and buildings. You will also find internationally themed rides, movies and entertainers as you tour around the showcase. Some of the rides and movies have lines but usually these are not too bad.

Future World features headliner attraction including Test Track and the new for 2003 attraction, Mission: Space. There are also interesting exhibits about the land, sea and nature. If education was always as much fun as Epcot everyone would be straight A students.

The park is notably split into the two areas. All over World Showcase are great places to hang out, eat or relax. In many ways it feels more relaxed than the other Disney Parks as there is less running from ride to ride to line up. Future World feels more like a normal theme park though it is also well spaced out and has less headliner attractions.
