Epcot<\/a> is divided into two distinct sections:\u00a0 Future World and World Showcase.\u00a0 This article considers how to tour Future World\u2019s major attractions in just one morning.\u00a0 If time allows, you should devote at least one half-day to World Showcase (but ideally one full day) to ride the new Frozen Ever After attraction and watch Illuminations: Reflections of Earth.<\/p>\n

\"Seeing<\/p>\n

Note:\u00a0 Epcot has many more attractions than what is recommended here; there are a number of live shows, films, secondary rides, and walk-through attractions that could fill an entire day or even two. This article is for those who have limited time and still want to experience all of the headliners Epcot\u2019s Future World has to offer.<\/p>\n

The attractions are Epcot Character Spot, Living with the Land, Mission: Space, Soarin\u2019, Spaceship Earth, the Seas with Nemo and Friends, Test Track, and Turtle Talk with Crush. To see all eight, I highly recommend you use FastPass+ and arrive for park open (\u201crope drop\u201d).<\/p>\n

FastPass+ Considerations<\/strong><\/p>\n

FastPass+ at Epcot puts attractions into two different tiers; you are initially choosing one experience in Tier 1 an\u00a0 Tier 1 includes Soarin\u2019, and Test Track among the rides; it also includes Frozen Ever After, the new ride in World Showcase, and \u00a0Illuminations: Reflections of Earth\u00a0(reserved viewing for the nighttime spectacular).\u00a0 For your Tier 1 ride, I recommend obtaining it for Soarin\u2019, as this is one of the two headliner attractions that see the highest waits, the other being Test Track.\u00a0 (If you have just one day at Epcot, then I recommend obtaining your Tier 1 FastPass for Frozen Ever After<\/a> and skipping this plan altogether.)\u00a0 There is another strategy to see Test Track, so I recommend reserving Soarin\u2019.\u00a0 For reasons that will follow, I recommend having your Soarin\u2019 FastPass around lunchtime (sometime between 11:15 and 12:45).\u00a0\u00a0 For your Tier 2 FastPass+ selections, go with Mission: Space for the first hour of the park\u2019s hours (typically 9:00-10:00) and Spaceship Earth for the second hour. Your FastPass selections would look something like this:<\/p>\n
