Does Epcot Have Rides?


Disney Answer: YES

Even though Epcot is a bit of a different type of theme park, it does have rides. Not only does Epcot have rides, Epcot has some of the best rides at Walt Disney World, including many that can’t be found in any other Disney theme park, anywhere!

Current Epcot Rides

  • The Seas with Nemo & Friends – Go under the sea—without getting wet—on this attraction based on Disney•Pixar’s Finding Nemo which finds Nemo lost again.
  • Living with the Land – Sail through the greenhouses of The Land Pavilion on a boat tour and behold 9-pound lemons, Mickey-shaped pumpkins and more!
  • Soarin’ – Take flight on a breezy, airborne adventure as you hang glide above some of the most breathtaking wonders the world has to offer.
  • Journey Into Imagination with Figment – Figment the playful, purple dragon is your guide on this whimsical ride through the Imagination Institute.
  • Ellen’s Energy Adventure – Be entertained and enlightened during a zany, 45-minute multimedia trip through time and Ellen DeGeneres’s subconscious.
  • Mission: Space – Experience authentic NASA-style training and an out-of-this-world space launch on this shuttle simulator.
  • Test Track – Design a virtual concept vehicle and then go for a high-octane spin at this attraction that’s thrilling and creative.
  • Spaceship Earth – Travel in time and explore the history of communication on a ride that takes you from the Stone Age to the computer age.
  • Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros – Take in the sights of Mexico and the antics of the 3 feathered amigos on this gentle boat ride through the Mexico Pavilion.
  • Frozen Ever After – Hoist the sails in Arendelle aboard an ancient Norwegian vessel as you set out into the wondrous wintery world of Frozen!

There you go, and I only include the attraction that move around, or what one would consider “rides”. Don’t forget some of the other awesome attractions such as The American Adventure or Impressions de France, that don’t technically move around but are first class attractions.

Are the Magic Kingdom fireworks every night?


Disney Answer: Yes

Every night, the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World offers at least one show of fireworks. Currently, the Magic Kingdom presents Wishes, which has been around since 2003. Starting on May 12, 2017, the Magic Kingdom will introduce a brand new fireworks show, Happily Ever After.

During the Fall and over the Holidays, Disney also offers special nightly fireworks during the holiday parties (Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party).

Of course, all fireworks at Walt Disney World are subject to cancellation due to inclement weather. Fireworks can be canceled due to wind or rain, and cancellations are usually announced in the parks sometime during the day.

While watching the Magic Kingdom fireworks, make sure not to miss the nightly castle show. Currently, the nightly show is Once Upon a Time, a projection show that involves Cinderella’s Castle and is downright fantastic.

You can check the daily schedule for the Magic Kingdom by clicking on the Walt Disney World Calendar, and then click on the “Magic Kingdom” and find your travel dates.

Are the Magic Kingdom and Epcot Connected?


Disney Answer: Yes and No!

No – Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom and Epcot are actually about 4 miles apart. Walt Disney World is huge, about twice the size of the island of Manhattan, and everything is really spread out.

Yes – In a way, the Magic Kingdom and Epcot are connected, by monorail! You can ride from Epcot directly to the Magic Kingdom (with a change at the Ticket and Transportation Center) by monorail. The one-way monorail trip takes between 30 – 40 minutes depending upon wait times.

To see how far apart the Magic Kingdom and Epcot are, as well as the monorail route, check out the image below.
