Want to see how your dreams will come true in the future? Go to Future World in EPCOT. You can even see what’s gonna happen tomorrow and how it has come about.
There are some of the best rides at Walt Disney World in this part of EPCOT. Mission Space may be the most technologically advanced attraction anywhere. The new technology in Turtle Talk is nothing short of amazing.
Let’s get started on our Perfect Vacation in EPCOT’s
Future World
Future World is full of great attractions. EPCOT is going through a major overhaul that will dramatically change the way Future World looks. We will have to wait and see what the future holds for Future World.
The Seas, with Nemo and Friends
The Seas is a fascinating look at what is happening in the two-thirds of our planet that we take for granted. See divers going into the world largest aquarium and hundreds of fish doing what it is that fish do.
Attractions –
- Sea Base Alpha
- Turtle Talk – Starring Crush
- Mr. Ray’s Lagoon
- Bruce’s Sub House
- The Manatee Exhibit
Since this pavilion changed from the Living Seas, to The Seas with Nemo and Friends crowds have certainly gotten bigger. Turtle Talk is really neat.

The Land
The Land pavilion may be the place in EPCOT where you will spend the most time (standing in line). The Land shows the best that our planet has to offer and talks about how we get our food and how we should take care of what nature has given us.
Attractions
- Soarin’
- Living with the Land
- Circle of Life: An environmental fable
The Land lost one of Dad’s favorite attractions when Soarin’ was built. Soarin’ is great, but I still miss Food Rocks. (Dad’s Ode to Food Rocks)
Imagination!
This pavilion is due for a major overhaul. Nothing has been announced, but it’s just a matter of time.
Attractions –
- Journey to Imagination with Figment
- ImageWorks
With all of the changes happening with the redesign of Future World, it would not be surprising to see Imagination! totally change.
Innoventions
Innoventions was a fun place to spend some time checking the latest technologies. This pavilion closed on September 7, 2019.

Universe of Energy
The Universe of Energy was the home of Ellen’s Energy Adventure. We got to see how fossil fuels are made. It starred Ellen Degeneres and Bill Nye, The Science Guy.
The Universe of Energy closed on August 13, 2017.

Wonders of Life
This seldom open pavilion was home to Body Wars and Cranium Command. Classic Disney attractions. Wonders of Life closed in 2007.
Mission Space
Take a ride to Mars. This ride is the total package. A centrifuge creates up to 4 g’s of pressure. It’s very intense and not for the faint of heart.
Attractions –
- Mission Space
- Advanced Training Lab
This may be the most intense rides anywhere. The Green Line is Perfect for those of us who suffer from any kind of motion problems. (Dad now goes in the Green Line.)

Test Track
GM shows how cars are tested through fire, ice, shaking, braking and more. Take a ride, almost everyone comes back.
Attractions
- Test Track
- See GM concept cars

Spaceship Earth
The big silver ball in the middle of the entrance. See how our communications has changed through the years.
Attractions
- Spaceship Earth
- Leave a Legacy
Spaceship Earth is one of the busiest rides at EPCOT. Why? Because everyone has to walk right by it.

Here are the some of the details you need to know to create a Perfect day in EPCOT. From where to eat, to how to avoid the crowds, Dad’s got it all.
Dining
Most of the dining in EPCOT is across the lagoon over in the World Showcase, but there are a few places where hou can get a bite or a full meal.
Future World has some of the most interesting Table Service restaurants in all of Walt Disney World. There is the Coral Reef Restaurant in The Seas with Nemo and Friends where you can sit and watch the fish in the big tank swim by. You can also get a preview of the Living with the Land ride at the Garden Grill Restaurant which is a Character meal starring Chip and Dale.
For a quick bite check out Sunshine Seasons Food Court in the Land pavilion.

Shopping
One of the largest shops in Walt Disney World is located in Innoventions. It’s called Mouse Gear where you can find just about anything Disney your little heart desires. We stop here every time we visit.
Dreamfinder in Mouse Gear
Some of the pavilions (like Test Track, the Seas and Journey to Imagination) have shops in them.
Just outside Spaceship Earth there is a very convenient camera store where you can not only get your PhotoPass photos, but you can get most camera equipment and accessories.
Entertainment
Some of the best entertainment at Disney World happens in EPCOT and a lot of it goes on in Future World. Here’s a list of what you can see in Future World.
- JAMMitors
- Innoventions Fountain Show
There may only be two of them, but they are not to be missed. The fountains are amazing and you’ll hear the JAMMitors before you see them.
(Dad answers a question about entertainment in both Future World and World Showcase.)
WORLD SHOWCASE
Believe it or not there is more to EPCOT than Future World. The World Showcase is a wonderful place to see the world in just one day (it took Jules Verne 180 days). In the World Showcase you can see history come to life, you can see beautiful sites from exotic places and you can eat some of the best food in the world.
Dad’s World Showcase page
Dad’s Bottom Line
EPCOT is a special theme park and Future World is a big part of that. You can see the technology we could only dream about a few years ago and see how it will impact your life in the very near future.
