If you are looking for information on Disney Epcot Theme Park and things to do at Epcot, you have come to the right place.

Epcot was the second theme park to be built at Disney World, and I was amazed to find out online how many things there are to do at Epcot. Contrary to belief it’s not only for the adults. The kids can have a ball here too.

Most of the attractions at Epcot are open from 9 am to 9 pm with some of them closing at 7 pm.

I would advise you to look at the list below on things to do at Epcot and then plan your day around the things you want to see. Some of the items will need to be booked for in advance, so check at the Disney World Website so that you are not disappointed on the day.

Things also tend to keep changing and upgrading, so check the latest itinerary before deciding what you are going to do at Epcot.

Rides As Things To Do At Epcot

If you love riding on things, then these are some of the most popular rides when it comes to things to do at Epcot.

Soarin’ Around The World

While you can walk around the World Showcase in Epcot, in Soarin’ you are invited to fly over the world. This ride located in the Land Pavillion.

Luckily the queue is indoors so if you weren’t able to get a Fastpass at least the wait is air-conditioned.

In this ride, you sit in a seat that swings slightly. There are three “gliders” each with three rows. The middle glider is best and I believe that the front row is the best place to be.

Once you are buckled in, you are lifted off the ground and there is a screen in front you. You travel around the world and see several amazing sights like the Great Wall of China and the Eiffel Tower. Several of the scenes even have the matching scents that fill the air.

Test Track

If you are an adrenaline junkie looking for a fast ride, Test Track has you covered!

While you are waiting to go on the ride you get to design your dream car on the computer and see some really cool displays.

Be sure to get a Fastpass for this ride, if you don’t there is a single rider option that usually has much smaller wait times.

Spaceship Earth

This ride is not as adrenaline-filled as Test Track but is very interesting none the less.

You get taken inside Spaceship Earth and you can see the progress of technology which starts with the invention of the written language.

This ride is going to get a makeover shortly, so will be closed for two years, as the technology has come on very fast during the last few years.

Frozen Ever After Ride

This ride is in Norway in the World showcase.

The best time to do this one is early in the morning before the rest of the World showcase opens, then you avoid standing for a long time in the queue.

Nevertheless, the queue is cute because you walk through Oaken’s trading post if you are in the standby line. The beautiful scenery in the ride makes it worthwhile, but the music is what makes it fun!

Gran Fiesta Tour

The Gran Fiesta Tour is located inside the Mexican Pavillion.

It is a boat ride where you follow the Three Caballeros as they take you through Mexico showing off the beauty of the land and the people.
