EPCOT Theme Park - Spaceship Earth

Discover the Wonder
At EPCOT®, high tech fun and Disney imagination are combined with the wonder of diverse cultures in two distinct worlds, Future World and World Showcase. Both are bursting with thrills and excitement.

Perry, the anthropomorphic platypus co-star of the hit Disney-animated series “Phineas and Ferb,” has become locked in a cat carrier while his host family is on vacation, so the O.W.C.A. (Organization Without a Cool Acronym) is recruiting EPCOT Guests to step into “Agent P’s” important missions.

Fly to new heights on Soarin’™, an exhila¬rating ride experience that picks you up and really gets you flying! You’ll feel as if you’re gliding over spectacular natural wonders and glorious countrysides, taking in the sights, the sounds, and scents – like a bird in flight!

On The Seas with Nemo & Friends, you don’t need gills to dive into undersea adventure––just a “clamobile!” So climb aboard and journey alongside Marlin and Dory on an exciting quest to find Nemo. Along the way, you’ll meet up with Bruce the shark, ride the EAC with Crush the sea turtle, and even come face-to-fin with some real-life fishies in a gigantic aquarium. It’s an ocean of fun inspired by Disney•Pixar’s “Finding Nemo.”

What’s it like to be an astronaut? Find out aboard Mission: SPACE® as you dodge meteors, navigate nebulae and slingshot around the moon…without leaving Earth. If you think you’ve got the right stuff, join the Orange Team for some seriously intense training that lets you feel the full force of an actual space launch. Or, if you’d prefer a not-so-white-knuckle-filled journey, join the Green Team. Both adventures are out of this world.

Have a ball inside the incredible icon of EPCOT®––Spaceship Earth! With a world of incredible, new enhancements, including narration by famed actress, Dame Judi Dench, this classic attraction will take you from living in the past to picturing yourself in the future…literally. And the excitement doesn’t stop when your Time Machine does, because that’s when you get to experience “Project Tomorrow”––a brand-new interactive playground area where you can build, play, create, compete and explore.

Leave it to the wacky scientists of the Imagination Institute to put your senses to the test with the help of a playful purple dragon! Aboard Journey Into Imagination With Figment, you’ll wanna listen up in the Sound Lab, use your Common Scents in the Smell Lab (watch out for the skunk junk) and watch your world turn upside down in Figment’s house. There’s no journey like the one into your imagination! Creativity and imagination abound as you celebrate innovations that enhance your life and expand your horizons.

Epcot's World Showcase

But, that’s only half the fun. In World Showcase, you can travel around the world…and you don’t even need a passport! Eleven great nations offer the best of their food, music, products and culture. Journey through the poetic mountains of China; soar in a balloon over France; encounter tricky trolls on a Viking expedition in Norway; sail down a River of Time in Mexico. And the food! Gourmet French cuisine…succulent steaks from the Great White North… bratwurst and beer from Germany… Mediterranean sandwiches from Morocco…the finest seafood, sushi and vegetables from Japan…fresh-baked Norwegian pastries and desserts… it’s an international feast of delectable delights. Plus, you can shop ‘til you drop, indulging in tempting Guerlain fragrances, Goebel Hummel figurines, glass etchings, antiques, trinkets, jewelry, gifts, toys and more. You’ll find something to amaze and excite everywhere you turn…from living “statues” in France to rock ‘n’ roll bag-pipers in Canada.

The grand finale? Luminous The Symphony of Us, an inspiration of music, fireworks, lights, and fountains taking guests on a journey through the years and into the future. EPCOT®. Two big worlds of discovery. One incredible experience, unlike any other on earth.
