Disney's Epcot Center Orlando:
A permanent international and discovery showplace covering 300 acres. Epcot is like a world's fair and science center combined.
The centerpiece of the park is the 40-acre World Showcase Lagoon which lights up on a nighttime with an orchestra of lights and fireworks.
The big silver geosphere -- Spaceship Earth -- is a hands-on science exhibit focussing on the future.
The other half of Epcot is the World Showcase, where you can tour national pavilions, just like visitors to a world's fair.
Park Tips:
- Plan ahead what direction around the park you will take.
- Get there early and maybe leave to do a water park or get something to eat in the afternoon.
- Drink Plenty of Water.
- Take your own food, Disney's Animal Kingdom can be expensive.
Park Entrance Fees:
- You need a maths degree to figure out the way theme parks price their tickets, as they vary so wildly.
- Choosing the cheapest day is not always the best option as the park could be a lot busier.
- Keep an eye out for ticket promotions. Be careful though, if it looks too good to be true then it will be.
- Consider Multi-Park tickets. Discounts are available for parks within the same organisation.
- Compare buying in your own currency or in Dollars, you would be surprised.
- Don't forget you have to pay "State Tax". Currently it is 6%.
Parking Fees:
- $45, $50 or $55 per day - Preferred parking: car or motorcycle
- $30 per day - Standard parking: car or motorcycle
- $30 per day - Oversized Vehicle Parking: Shuttle, Limo, Camper Trailer, RV, Bus or Tractor Trailer
