Suggestions for Epcot?

[Serenity4321]

I will be going to Epcot for the first time. Is there any 'must do or see' suggestions from anyone? We will only be there 1 day...I moved from Ca to Fl and am totally familiar with Disneyland but have never been to Disney World as yet. Thanks

Oh lucky you! I love that place! I don't really know what to suggest except to be sure to have a large enough budget. Not saying that about the admission, but rather the shopping... every country represented has stores and gift shops as well as a few restaurants. Next time I want to try chocolate from each country. Online research will help you to know what you want so you can save some time while there... I had a silk kimono robe from Japan chosen before arriving or it would have taken forever to decide.

Each country has a full service restaurant and at least one smaller restaurant. Love the Morocco cafe... I'm not sure if all the restaurants and shops survived the pandemic... haven't been there for a few years now. @Serenity4321

Thank you..I have been watching u-tube for the rides which I am most interested in. I am really not a shopper at this point..lol I am trying to get rid of all the 'things' I collected over the years.
I am with you on the chocolate!!...and look forward to the funnel cakes because I LOVED the ones in Ca in Disneyland..

My favorites are the Chinese Pavillion movie and the French one. Also, Canada. The Living Seas is a must.

The Norway ride is fun but don't waste your time on the Mexican one...it's pretty dull.

The American Adventure is great....animatronics and beautiful music.

The one about plants is meh.

Of course, Spaceship Earth is good.

As for shopping: my top choices are China, Japan and Mexico.

Morocco is interesting. Germany and France, less so.

Eating? Subjective but I like the restaurant inside Mexico, the Chinese Pavillion and Morocco or Norway.

You absolutely must get on the ride called Soarin’. It is unbelievable and don’t be surprised if you decide to get on it more than just once.
