Disney World. Slow down and enjoy. Smell the incense in Morocco, listen to the Beatles

The park is divided into two sections.
Future World
is where you'll find Epcot's only
two thrill rides. It is comprised of several pavilions, each holding attractions, restaurants,
character greeting spots, separated by grass, fountains and gardens.
World Showcase
comprises 11 re-created nations featuring country-specific food and shopping. Note that
though Disney's Epcot map shows only one entrance, there are two. The main entrance,
next to the bus and monorail stations, sits at the landmark geodesic dome of Spaceship
Earth in Future World. The back entrance, labeled
International Gateway
, brings guests
walking or catching a boat from Disney's BoardWalk, Hollywood Studios and Disney Ep-
cot resort hotels into the UK. Both entrances have lockers, strollers and wheelchair rental.
Each nation in the World Showcase has live music, comedy or dancing shows; check
