Be sure to pick up a guide map and entertainment schedule as you enter the park. The
guide uses a white k in a red square to note “Kidcot” stops. These play and learning sta-
tions are for the younger set and allow them to stop at various World Showcase countries,
do crafts, get autographs, have their Kidcot passports stamped (these are available for
purchase in most Epcot stores and make a great souvenir), and chat with cast members
native to those countries. They generally open at 1pm daily.
If you plan to eat lunch or dinner here and haven't already made Advance Reservations
( & 407/939-3463 ), you can make them at the restaurants themselves or at guest rela-
tions (near Spaceship Earth)—here you'll find a board that posts which restaurants still
have space (including which meal)—and those that don't. Many Epcot restaurants are
described in chapter 5, “Where to Dine.”
Before you get underway, check the Times Guide for show schedules and incorporate
any shows you want to see into your itinerary.
HOURS Future World is usually open from 9am to 7pm but sometimes as late as
midnight during major holidays and the summer. World Showcase doesn't open until
11am, and it usually closes at 9pm, but, like Future World, it sometimes has longer hours
on holidays and in summer.
TICKET PRICES Ticket prices are $79 for adults, $68 for children 3 to 9, free for
children younger than 3. See “Tickets,” earlier in this chapter, for the latest information
on the new Magic Your Way ticketing system.
