Just like the Better After Dark in the Magic Kingdom attractions we previously discussed, there are a few things at Epcot that become even more magical after the sun goes down.

The Fab Five of Snacking in World Showcase

When I decide to snack my way through Epcot I tend to skip Future World. Don't get me wrong - there is a lot of good stuff to snack on in Future World (red velvet whoopie pie at Sunshine Seasons!) but if I'm going to snack all day I'd rather do it in World Showcase.

Some of our favorite attractions at Walt Disney World are located in Epcot, and for the most part it's the one park where you don't feel overwhelmed by crowds (even if it IS crowded).

Epcot's Fountain Of Nations At The Heart Of Future World

Every day it entertains visitors in the heart of Epcot's Future World by propelling its 149,000 gallons of water as high as 150 ft. in the air as 30,000 gallons of water per second cascade over its tiered edges.
