There’s a LOT to do in EPCOT.

Sometimes it can feel overwhelming trying to figure out what to do, but that’s why we’re here! We’ve got posts and videos about having the perfect day in EPCOT, the most underrated parts of the park, and do our best to keep you updated on all the latest news. However, there are some things in EPCOT you just can’t miss, so here are the 6 things you HAVE to experience before leaving EPCOT!
Shopping Around the Pavilions
World Showcase in EPCOT is called “world” showcase for a reason — you can shop in different pavilions from all over the world!

Each pavilion has merchandise authentic to the country’s culture, so it really does feel like you’re traveling the world. It’s also a great place to get unique Disney souvenirs (for yourself and others) that you can’t get anywhere else in the park.
See how some EPCOT shopping experiences are being impacted by construction!
Watch Harmonious (Before It’s Gone!)
Okay, we know lots of people weren’t excited about the giant barges coming to World Showcase Lagoon, but it did bring us Harmonious!

However, many people really love this show, and if you haven’t experienced it, you should watch it at least once before it closes in April.

Eat Around World Showcase
Did we mention there are pavilions from all over the world?

That means there are also authentic snacks and eats all over the place in EPCOT. For many people, a trip to Europe or overseas may not be possible in their lifetime, so EPCOT may be one of the only ways to try authentic food from many different places all over the world. For many guests, the whole reason they go to EPCOT is to eat, even if there isn’t an EPCOT festival going on.
Here’s what you should eat in each EPCOT pavilion!
Ride The Monorail
Who doesn’t love the monorail?

The monorail is a great way to relax in some air conditioning and take a breather from the park for a second. You can also see lots of the EPCOT construction going on (we do it all the time), and it’s almost like a ride itself!
Ride Cosmic Rewind
We’re sure some of you knew this was coming — you HAVE to ride Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind!

This ride has been a hit ever since it first opened last year, and we don’t see that changing anytime soon. While right now the only way to ride the ride is through the virtual queue or by buying a Lightning Lane for it, for those who have this ride on their “must-do” list, working hard for that spot or budgeting to spend a little extra cash is worth it to many!

Visit The Aquarium
Yes, there’s an aquarium in EPCOT!

SeaBase is located right near The Seas With Nemo and Friends, and the exit of the ride brings you right inside. This is a great, usually calm area to catch your breath, take a break from the crowds, and look at some mesmerizing fish tanks. If you’ve got little ones who love fish, this is a great activity for them too.
See what Disney friend shows up every now and then in the aquarium!
And those are the 6 things we think you should do in EPCOT before you step out of the park gates! As always, stay tuned to AllEars for all the latest Disney news and recommendations!
