For today’s Friday Favorites, I would like to share with you my picks for best Epcot World Showcase attractions. Epcot’s World Showcase is my favorite place to just hang out and relax in all of Disney World. Usually while I’m in Disney World, I want to go non-stop and see and do as much as possible. I only stop to eat and sleep so that the rest of my family can survive! Epcot’s World Showcase is a nice balance of “going and doing” combined with the relaxed feel that my family so desperately needs. Our absolute favorite time to explore the World Showcase is after dark when all of the countries are brilliantly lit. The atmosphere is extraordinary and it is truly like being transported around the globe. Next time you are in Epcot, be sure to check out my choices for best Epcot World Showcase attractions. And here they are in no particular order.
