I wouldn't say Epcot has had it's day, no. It's my favourite park.
However, I agree that Future World needs some investment. Something needs to happen to the two Innoventions buildings because they are sitting there almost empty now. And both the Imagination and Universe of Energy pavilions need updating. I was hoping work on Epcot might start now that Pandora was open. Perhaps we might have to wait until the work in Hollywood Studios finishes? Hopefully not.

I think Epcot was both my son (4) and my favourite park! We loved it and went back more times than I had originally planned to. It was flower and garden and so it looked absolutely stunning. I love the music in Epcot and the whole atmosphere. We certainly never got bored.

Erm, there isn't a parade in AK any more. And there are little street shows in Epcot, more than in HS. In fact, I don't think they have little street shows in HS any more - well, unless you mean the Star Wars stage show and stroomtrooper parade?

I am another Epcot lover. My mum and sister don't particularly like it but I do so I was glad to take my partner this year and show him and he really liked it too.
We don't have children so we really enjoyed just taking a slow stroll around the World Showcase, taking it all in. I think that the world showcase is beautiful. We were on DDP so we really enjoyed trying snacks in the different countries too. Soarin and Test Track are two of my favourite rides, and I really love club cool too. I think that Mouse Gears is also one of the best merch shops on Disney property too. (Oh and not to mention that I absolutely ADORE figment too) There is not much I can really fault about Epcot. I always feel like there is a lot going on to keep me entertained and spend multiple days there. I really like that there is an educational element to the park too.

As far as i'm aware they still have the Citizens of Hollywood etc as well as Star Wars? I did forget about the lack of parade at AK now!

I've never been to Disney - last year we focused on UOR - my OH loves Epcot though, says Soarin is his favourite.
When we go in November, our last full day is being spent at Epcot as "Holidays around the world" begins, looking forward to using up all our remaining snack credits on the DDP round at the stalls. |

First visit I didn't get Epcot at all. 2nd visit, was amazing, but was taken at a very different pace, only rode on test track. Went around the world and took in all that was to see and do, met lots of characters, watched lots of little shows. Looking forward to going back

The Innovations area definitely needs an upgrade and new stuff putting in. One or two of the pavilions such as Universe of Energy are tired and need something new. Don't forget there is a pavilion that is no longer open which they just use for the odd corporate do - Wonders of Life pavilion. Also the Imagination pavilion needs a shot in the arm.
But World Showcase is perfect. They could maybe add some more countries but we can spend a whole afternoon and evening there enjoying all the cultures and different foods. As someone said above, now that Pandora - Land of Jewellery is complete and DHS is turning into Star Wars Land they can concentrate on Epcot and give it some TLC. |

Totally agree - I love walking around World Showcase. The British Revolution & Matsuriza in Japan are particular highlights. Maybe I should have named this "Has Future World at EPCOT had its Day?"
