Epcot is part of Disney World Florida.
It's the park with the huge Golf ball thing. This is actually a ride called Spaceship Earth which takes you through the history of mankind - it's not bad, but there are much better attractions (see our favourites below). The park itself is split between the two distinctly different themes: World showcase which highlights the culture and cuisine of 11 countries from around the globe and Future World which contains all the big rides. At Epcot you can also watch the spectacular IllumiNations fireworks each evening.
Our favourite attractions – Mission: Space, Test Track, Soarin', IllumiNations
The whole of Disney World is one huge resort which we're told is about the size of greater Manchester! Unfortunately it's not all filled with rides – imagine that! Instead you have 4 different theme parks, 2 water parks, an evening entertainment district, a huge sports ground, and dozens of hotels. They are all linked by a series of main roads, but you can get from one to another very easily because there is a regular bus service. Don't worry, there's not much hanging around, they're a lot more efficient than over here! There is also a mono rail between some parks and a river boat.
The other theme parks are:
The Magic Kingdom
Animal Kingdom
Disney's Hollywood Studios
There are also the highly rated water parks:
Blizzard Beach
Typhoon Lagoon
That's not all though, Disney World Florida also features a shopping, dining and entertainment zone called Down Town Disney. This is home to the fantastic Cirque du Soleil (not included in the price, but tickets are widely available in the UK), DisneyQuest, which is an indoor park full of virtual reality machines and Pleasure Island which is home various bars and night clubs.
