Comments on Vacation Spots

The Land is on the west side of the FutureWorld part of EPCOT. It, traditionally, has not been the most highly sought after pavilion but due to its new remodeling it has re-emerged as a "can’t miss" property.

The big reason to make sure your day includes The Land is the attraction Soarin’ which was added just a couple years ago. The attraction sends you on a sweeping flyover above California for a birds-eye view of the rich landscape and topography.  The unforgettable experience combines cinematic artistry and state-of-the-art motion base technology. You are lifted inside a giant projection screen dome and completely surrounded with the beauty and wonder of the state of California as you fly over the Golden Gate Bridge, the Redwood forests, Napa Valley, Yosemite and more. The free-flight experience intensifies as you feel the sweeping winds and smell fragrant orange blossoms and pine trees.

You will likely need to get a FastPass for Soarin’ so plan to stop in by mid-day before they are all sold out. 

Living with the Land also has FastPass capability but you probably don’t need it except on the busiest of days. This is a leisurely and educational boat ride through EPCOT’s greenhouses. While the adventure loving members of your clan may be bored with the presentation, it does offer a good respite from the heat of the day and you will likely learn something as well.

Probably the best part of The Land is the restaurants.  With the exception of the ethnic restaurants of the World Showcase in the back half of the park, The Land has the best menu. If you are only in the park for one day, you should eat at one of the World Showcase countries but if you have a multi-day trip, you will not go wrong in The Land.
