If you watch the movie in the Canadian Pavilion remember...we don't talk like that.

At certain times the big fountain in the middle near the entrance does a show to music, it's really cool.

DO NOT miss the fireworks (Illuminations), get a good spot! I won't give it away, but it is spectacular!!

You'll love the El Rio del Tiempo ride in the Mexico Pavillion. It's a little river ride. Funny at the end.

There is a great street comedy show in UK, they were very funny.

EDIT: There is a ride called Maelstrom in the (Norway?) pavillion....when you get off the boat you will go into a theater as others are exiting it...rush out and get out of the theatre, don't take a seat! The show is hideous! It' is about 20 minutes long and very boring...the kids went bananas.

If I think of more I"ll let you know!

Ditto what Ginger said. Also, I HIGHLY suggest you do the ride called "Soaring" It's on the right as you enter the park past Space Ship Earth.

As for the "good Spot" to watch the illuminations display, recommend dinner at the Rose and Crown. Get a late reservation and ask for a table on their patio. Then you will have a great place to sit and watch!

Epcot is my favorite of the Disney parks. Though I do NOT recommend Mission Space ride. It is nothing but a centrifuge and will make you feel bad. After riding that, my wife was queazy all day and I had a headache. Mind you there are very few rides that make me ill...that is at the top of the list. The excitement was not worth the result!

Have a great time!

When we paid for parking the same stub was good for any lot at any park on that day. That may have changed, though.

OK, I am ready to go now! We are for sure going to ride Soarin, looks amazing I will be sure to get a good seat for the fireworks and see the fountain show. And I love boat rides. All great info! I had been doing some research on the area and found lots of forums, but there is SO much info out there...
then I thought-I need to ask the peeps! I understand the peeps

Thanks again I appreciate all the help

Mike and I love that ride too. Other favorites are the Aerosmith Rockin' Rollercoaster and Tower of Terror ~ both in the Disney MGM park. Haven't been on the Soarin' ride yet. We're going over to Orlando again on December 15th to take in the special attraction ICE! at The Gaylord Palms, so MAYBE we'll make a weekend of it and go to Epcot too.
