EPCOT Tips and Secrets

Here are some tried and tested tips to help make your day at EPCOT even more enjoyable:

• Next to the Innoventions Plaza fountain there is a little shop called "club cool". If you pop in there you will find free drinks from different countries around the world including coca cola! The brilliant thing is it's FREE and you can get UNLIMITED drinks, perfect for the hot weather!
• When watching Illuminations make sure you do not stand where the smoke blows towards you as you will not see the fireworks very well. Try to find out the wind direction and position yourself the closest to where the wind is coming from, otherwise just follow everyone else!
• To really experiance the different cultures of each country they all have little shows that they perform many times throughout the day so make sure you see them as they are very good. 
• After Illuminations there are huge queues to get out the park via the front entrance so go out of the international gateway and depending on where you are staying different transportation options could apply, you could park your car at one of the Epcot resorts car parks or head to one of the resorts bus stops and catch a bus to the Magic Kingdom, then transfer to monorail if you are staying at a Magic Kingdom resort.
• If possible (depending upon wind direction) try to position yourself as close to futureworld as possible so you can make a quick escape after Illuminations to avoid all the crowds
• If you have already been on the rides in futureworld then get to the World Showcase as it opens at 11am to have great photo opportunities without lots of people in the way! 
• If you do not mind getting split up then use the single rider line for Test Track if there is a long queue, you will get on the ride much faster!
