Let's do a little guide to Epcot
Epcot is Disney's - kind of adult park - the kids can find things to do there
also, but mostly it's for adults who like to shop and eat. Epcot is a sanitized
world tour - Don't expect the real thing - The smells of Europe are somehow
missing, but the food is great, and for those who have never been abroad, it may
be a real treat. There are a few good
rides - "Test Track", "Sorin" and "Mission Space"
Parking - $12.00 dollars - ouch! (for cars that is). Take advantage of
free shuttles at your hotel or resort.
Shade - ouch! There's very little shade in Epcot, unless of course you
go into a shop, ride, show exhibition, or one of the great places to eat. It's not as
bad as Universal, but finding shade is a chore. Remember to bring sunscreen,
and cotton - cotton - cotton clothes! It can be 95 degrees in September!
Smokers - Epcot has designated smoking areas - outdoors and for the most part in the
hot Florida sun - they are listed on the
Epcot map

Food - Ok this is where Epcot shines - The food is very good, but can
be very expensive (compared to outside the park).
Biergarten – Oktoberfest buffet (Germany) - excellent food, plenty to eat, walk
right in sit right down. $20.00 for the buffet - per person.
Le Cellier
Steakhouse (Canada)- by far the best place to eat in
Epcot - reservations may be up to 6 months in advance - some walk in
space allotted, but good luck!
Snacks and coffee - a cup of coffee in Epcot
is $2.50 in a paper cup - It isn't Starbucks - Mostly sitting in a thermos until
you get there. The snacks are not bad, just expensive.
Let's talk about the Disney Dining Plan - The Dining Plan will cost
about $35 a day for those 10 and above and about $10 day for children ages 3-9.
The last time we were there, we met a lot of people pleased with the plan. It
includes 2 meals (dinner and lunch and a snack). So if you plan on eating in
Epcot it may be a good deal for you.
The international food and wine feasible - September 26, 2008 – November 9, 2008 - Ok, now we're talking - real food, wine
and beer from all the different countries. They set up little stands at each
country. Sample foods are available at the stands (about $2.50 up to $5.00 for a
appetizer portion). Wine tasting and the bottles are for sale.
Shops - the shops are what you would expect from Disney - over-priced, but on
the other hand the staff are extremely friendly, particularly to kids and there
are unique Epcot and Disney related items. Bring your credit card.
Best time to visit - When the kids are in school! September is a great
time - or when it's raining - no crowds! August? like heat stroke? then go right
ahead!
We're just getting started, See Ya Real Soon!
