Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind

EPCOT’s newest thrill ride is Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. This attraction has very quickly become a fan favorite, and it has recently opened its standby queue rather than utilizing the virtual queue system. This roller coaster is indoors and uses incredible special effects to convey its story. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind also features a very unique backwards launch! During this attraction you can expect thrills, high speed, and of course your favorite Guardians of the Galaxy characters.

World Showcase

EPCOT has earned a reputation as a great park for grown-ups thanks to World Showcase. Featuring 11 different country pavilions, each with their own attractions as well as food and drink options, World Showcase is the perfect way to spend a day at EPCOT. Many adults enjoy “drinking around the world” and trying a new alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink in each country pavilion. There are also many different ways to snack your way through EPCOT, with unique offerings available in each country. World Showcase is also home to some great attractions like Frozen Ever After, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, and Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros.

Sea Base

After you exit The Seas with Nemo and Friends, you enter Sea Base: EPCOT’s massive saltwater aquarium. This aquarium is a definite must-do for any guest, but especially those who enjoy marine life and animals. Guests can see rescued manatees, dolphins, turtles, rays, and so much more. Sea Base is also home to Turtle Talk with Crush, an interactive show where small guests can ask Crush questions about life under the sea. Guests can easily spend 45 minutes to an hour here simply exploring all of the exhibits and watching the beautiful aquatic life.

Luminous: The Symphony of Us

The fun doesn’t end at the end of the day. Luminous: The Symphony of Us, is EPCOT’s nightly fireworks spectacular. This show can be witnessed from any country throughout World Showcase. These fireworks celebrate what brings us together and makes us human. Guests can expect amazing special effects as well as their favorite Disney tunes.  The show runs every night at 9pm and runs for about 17 minutes.
