As with all the Disney Parks, Epcot is worth a visit. My favorite experiences: Test Track; Illuminations; and Spaceship Earth. Take some time to properly visit each country’s pavilions in World Showcase. Each one is staffed by people native to that country, and the entertainment is also from that land.
Moreover, how many rides are in Epcot?
Strictly speaking, there are only 9 rides at Epcot, soon to be 10 when you include Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. This might sound like either a short day at the park or extra time to drink around the world when, in fact, there are actually close to 40 different attractions spread across Epcot Center.
