By Dave Shute

EPCOT DAY 1: MONDAY AGENDA

Today you will begin your visit to Epcot, and have the evening off. You have no reserved dining today.

You should have FastPass+ for Soarin’, Turtle Talk with Crush, and a third ride.

(Note: this is from the FastPass+ Lower-Crowd Seven Night Itinerary, Saturday Arrival Variant. It does not work all weeks–use the comment form to check in on yours!)

FIRST THINGS

Be at the park by 45 minutes before open. 

AT THE PARK: MORNING

• Enter the turnstiles when the park opens at about 8.45, grab a map and Times Schedule, and head to Test Track. Ride it.
• Go into Innoventions East and check out The Sum of All Thrills.  If it looks like fun, ride it
• Head to the other side of Future World and see the attractions in the Imagination Pavilion–Captain EO and Journey Into Imagination with Figment
• Two of your FastPass+ for today are all on this side of the park.  Using them see Soarin and Turtle Talk with Crush.   Fit in The Seas with Nemo and Friends, Living with the Land, and Circle of Life around the FastPass+ rides. If lines are too long for Living with the Land, add it later as a fourth FastPass+. Note that as you ride each FastPass+ ride you can move the next to an earlier time, if available.
• Have lunch while you are in this area of the park at Sunshine Seasons in the Land Pavilion on the same level as Soarin
• Next is the of World Showcase, starting in Canada and progressing counter-clockwise.
  • Each pavilion will have some or all of shopping, special exhibits, a ride, a movie, and other special events—such as acrobats in China.
  • Check your map, times guide, and the pavilion itself, to see what each pavilion has.
  • For scheduled events like the acrobats, etc., sequence what you do when among items that are not scheduled (shops, exhibits, and rides), and bounce back and forth between nearby pavilions, so that you don’t have to wait long for the scheduled item
• If the kids are bored by World Showcase, check out Agent P’s World Showcase Adventure
• And you are almost done if you wish to be! Check out Innoventions on your way out of the park to decide how much time you will want to devote to these on Thursday
• Alternatively, simplify Thursday by seeing more of World Showcase, Ellen’s’ Energy Adventure, and Innoventions
