In addition to all the slow, relaxed rides, this Disney World park has several thrill rides. The Green Mission is a less intense trip, but the Orange Mission is best for adventurous types.
Start with the slow-moving ride, which emerges into SeaBase, an enormous aquarium home to turtles, sharks, stingrays, and other aquatic life. While there, be sure to visit Turtle Talk with Crush, an interactive experience where children can converse with characters from the movie. Many of these meet-and-greet locations have been changing as of late, so always double-check the Walt Disney World website. There is plenty of shopping, entertainment, and dining, as well as art galleries and live music.
Unlike water splash zones or interactive queues, this Play Pavilion will be modeled after a modernized city with colorful facades, character experiences, and a roster of child-centric activities.
With a soundtrack of familiar Disney favorites as well as lights, lasers, and pyrotechnics lighting up the World Showcase Lagoon, the new extravaganza aims to be so much more than just another fireworks display. Still, the true highlight of evenings here are the wide array of dining and drinking options. We highly recommend having at least one dinner in this Walt Disney World park and taking in the Epcot countries once the sun sets. The World Showcase pavilions are home to the best dining within this exciting theme park.
Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria remains a favorite with Epcot guests of all ages; the pizzas, which are cooked in wood-burning ovens, are delicious. Many of these locations take Disney Dining Plan as well. Reservations open days in advance, so book early if you can. If you are unable to or if you prefer flexibility , most Epcot countries offer quick-service dining for grab-and-go entrees; often, a meal can be made simply by snacking at multiple locations.
All of the Epcot countries sell regional alcoholic beverages, letting guests try margaritas in Mexico, sake in Japan, and an array of wines in Italy. Nestled at the base of the geodesic sphere at the exit to Spaceship Earth, Project Tomorrow: Inventing the Wonders of the Future is yet another interactive play area.
This hands-on area boasts several futuristic activities, or at least they were futuristic at one time. Now they just feel dated. That being said, it is fun to tinker around with the various games after riding Spaceship Earth, and kids will definitely like getting to try everything out. Scamper your way through all the sights, sounds, and smells of a Parisienne restaurant with little Chef Remy by your side.
Disconnect from the hustle and bustle of Epcot as you gaze out over coral reefs teeming with life including sea turtles, rays, sharks, fish and more. This aquarium is quite large, and guests of all ages will love watching all the underwater antics, so be sure to set aside some time to explore. Fortunately, trivia questions in the queue help to pass the time. Hidden inside the geodesic sphere that is the icon of the park, Spaceship Earth is an equally iconic ride. For this leisurely dark ride, guests embark on a slow-moving journey through time that tells the story of the evolution of communication from the creation of the Phoenician alphabet to the arrival of the computer.
Luckily, a revamp is in the works for some time in the future and will see the storyline focus on the history of storytelling instead. As the first ride you see when you enter the park, lines here can get really long at the beginning and middle of the day but shorten quite dramatically as the day wears on.
Fast your seatbelts for Test Track, an interactive thrill ride where you can design your own concept car, then take it for test drive to see how it stacks up to designs created by other guests in your ride vehicle. Originally designed to mimic the safety tests cars are put through, this latest iteration still has you putting a vehicle through its paces including speed, handling, power, and more.
Creating your own car is half the fun of this ride; however, you only get the full experience by waiting in the standby line. As anyone who has ever watched Finding Nemo knows, Crush the sea turtle has been around the ocean a time or two, and with age comes wisdom. So, you can be that he knows a whole heck of a lot about the underwater life.
Sit down for an question-and-answer session with the turtle himself as Crush answers questions from the crowd in real-time. We show you how in our 1-Day Epcot Plan.

So you may want to start on one side of Future World, go around World Showcase and then end on the opposite side of Future World — unless you want to get your frog hops in! Feel free to share in the comments below. I found your reports very helpful and I appreciate the advice since my son and I are planning to come to Disney in October Thanks for all the info.
This sounds super disappointing especially since we are planning to visit for the first time ever this September. How disappointing. Sounds like a horrible experience. And Disney wants to charge you for this 'experience'. I'll wait until next year and probably not go then either as they'll likely raise prices again.
