    Roller coaster enthusiasts' nirvana. However, not a lot for non-coaster enthusiasts (see Disney). Even the simulator rides are pretty jarring at times. Some of the warnings about things like neck pain people shouldn't go on a ride are accurate. Interestingly, the Velociraptor coaster isn't that jarring, but it's the one that is pretty good until you hit the 2nd acceleration, and then, well there's not a lot of describing it in words (listen to the screams). Also, prepare for complete, 100% soaking on all 3 water rides, as in as wet as you'd be if jumped in the pond. No safe seats on these rides. Water rides are excellent for hot days.

    Clever and interesting part of the park. I'd say by far, the best part. The rides are excellent and the streets, village and shops are all clever.

    The cabana was right next to the dolphin area. Amazing. Food was good. Had personal concierge that made sure we were at all the right places at the right time I.e. when the flamingos were out.

    Very excellent theme park with a wonderful way of immersing you into nature. Whether you want to see beautiful sights of Pandora (World of Avatar), or a take a ride on a safari, you can find it in Animal Kingdom. The amazing attention to detail in this park, makes you feel like you might actually be in a place like Africa. The only thing that makes me take a star from this park is the rides, there are very few of them, but the ones they do have are amazing.

    So much fun. Did almost every ride except the big roller coasters. Most lines were 30 min or less. There were drying stations for wet people after the water rides. They have a refillable drink container with unlimited refills of 100 choices for $20. You can refill your own containers with water for free all day. We had a 4 day pass. It took 3 days to see almost everything. My fourth day is good until Dec so I will do a day trip to Volcano Bay, the park I didn't get to.

    So many people go after the big parks, and they miss out on old time fun. They may not have all the robots and dramatic effects, but they are consistent on a good time for a family.
    You can visit for free with an armband the gator venue here at the park. We were so pleased to see Lucas introducing us to muffin, it was a great experience. Had a chance to meet Emma who took care of us in our bill at Johnny Rockets, when we made a mistake. Everything is so pleasant here when you communicate your needs.

    Although I grew up watching all of the classic Disney animated films and television shows, it wasn't until I became an adult and began to appreciate Disney more that I had the desire to visit Disney World. At age 35, I was finally given the opportunity to visit Disney World with my family. And while each Disney World park (Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Epcot) is unique and filled with their own fun experiences, it was at Epcot where the Disney Magic seems to shine the brightest. Were I still a child, it's likely that Magic Kingdom or Hollywood Studios would be my favorite park, but now that I'm an adult who appreciates beauty and loves learning about different cultures, Epcot is certainly my favorite.

    Starting with the easy to describe...the rides. Epcot contains perhaps THE. BEST. RIDE. AT. DISNEY WORLD...Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. Even standing in line was exciting! And then to experience the ride for the first time was even better. The darkness, the ups & downs, the twists & turns, everything about it is fantastic. A slightly less thrilling but still exciting "ride"...Soarin!...which is great for nearly all ages and all types of people ("ride tolerant" or not).

    Moving on to the next great aspect of Epcot...the beauty! My family and I visited in late May 2024, during the Spring/Summer Flower Festival (or whatever it's called). So the flowers and flora were absolutely GORGEOUS! Though anything I attempt to grow usually ends up dying, it was so gratifying to see beautiful landscaping at every turn. The colors were endless and Disney obviously spares no expense at all to ensure the flowers, shrubbery, and topiaries are impeccably designed.

    Now for the best aspect of Epcot and my personal favorite...WORLD SHOWCASE!! I love learning about different countries and cultures. I love experiencing the people, the food, the smells, the music and completely immersing myself in all of it. And while each featured area (i.e. Norway, Japan, France) is certainly no replacement for visiting the real country, Disney has done a fantastic job of ensuring authenticity by staffing the featured areas with people from those countries. While I spent most of the time at Epcot with my family, at one point I did go off by myself for a couple of hours just exploring World Showcase...and it ended up being the absolute BEST part of my entire 7-day Disney World experience. If and when I go back to Disney World, I plan to spend the majority of my time at Epcot, primarily so that I can explore World Showcase more.

    Overall, Epcot was without a doubt an amazing experience that I will remember the rest of my life...even if I never get another opportunity to visit again...though I certainly plan to. ;-)

    Parking at Disney Springs can be a frustrating ordeal - alot of traffic, tight indoor parking and long security lines. During peak periods, it is hard to find parking in the Orange and Lime Parking garages.

    If you don't mind outdoor parking, try parking in the Strawberry Parking Lot. There is plenty of parking and it is easy to park in the wide spaces especially if you have large SUVs or trucks. The outdoor security line also moves fast.

    The one major negative of the Strawberry Parking Lot is its location at the end of Disney Springs near Cirque du Soleil. It is a long walk to the other side of Disney Springs that has the huge World of Disney store and LEGO store.

    It is convenient to park here if you are going to the AMC Theatre or the Splitsville bowling alley or eating at Jaleo by Jose Andres, The Summer House on the Lake and House of Blues.

    The park great, however the food was not. It was very expensive, the portions were small and the food was not cook tasty. I do not mind paying top dollar as long as the food is delicious.

    The place where dreams come true. From entering the park to leaving it felt like you were in the magical world of Disney. We entered the park at opening and left at closing clocking up some serious step counts when we were there.

    The food is pricey but you expect that. The usual tat was brought from the gift shops.

    The family loved it and created those special family moments that will last a lifetime.

    All you need to know is that at Disney magic really can happen.

    The next thing you need to know is the amazing cast members Amber and Jesus. They went above and beyond.

    We are a family of 4 -6,11,39,42 with a SEN child.

    We were waiting to enter the park at 0930am to get a good spot. The two cast members came over to us and asked our children if they wanted to go in first and open the park - OMG .

    - private tour,
    - meet the staff
    - first to ride any ride of our choice before anyone else
    - FREE private cabana
    - and more
    - nanes on the special guest board, Disney autographs

    Our family is literally stunned , it was the best day we have ever had. EVER.

    5* review !!!
