Remy's Ratatouille Adventure at Epcot near Lake Buena Vista Resort Village & Spa

Walt Disney World’s EPCOT

What makes EPCOT® a fan favorite when visiting Orlando, is its World Showcase and the festivals it hosts throughout the year. Because of the World Showcase, you can travel the world without a passport or plane ticket. There are eleven countries surrounding the World Showcase Lagoon, where guests can shop, dine, and walk the beautiful scenery.

Some Things You Should Know

To visit the park, you need a valid park admission, then you have to make a park reservation using their Disney Park Pass system.
At 9:30 PM, watch the Luminous: The Symphony of Us around the World Showcase Lagoon. A successor to both IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth and Harmonious, this 20-minute presentation displays fireworks, fountains, music, and lights, all choreographed to an original score. This new composition, blended with beloved melodies from the Disney songbook, beautifully illustrates what connects us.

Walt Disney World is strict with safety, if a child doesn’t meet a ride’s height requirement they will not be allowed to board, even if they’re only 1/2 an inch short.
