Disney theme park with future-themed pavilions and the World Showcase of country pavilions around a lagoon, plus festivals through the year.
EPCOT sits at 200 Epcot Center Drive in Lake Buena Vista and is split into World Celebration, World Discovery, World Nature and the World Showcase, where pavilions for Mexico, Norway, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Morocco, France, the United Kingdom and Canada, plus The American Adventure, ring a 40-acre lagoon. Popular attractions include Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Test Track, Frozen Ever After, Remy's Ratatouille Adventure and Soarin' Around the World. The park holds seasonal festivals, including the International Festival of the Arts, Flower and Garden, Food and Wine and Festival of the Holidays, with food kiosks scattered around the World Showcase promenade. Solo visitors can eat well at the kiosks without needing a table, and the nightly lagoon show is visible from many points on the promenade. World Showcase opens later than the front of the park, so ride the headline attractions first and walk the pavilions in the afternoon and evening.
