Disney Florida
Epcot
Description & Accessibility
Epcot is another Disney park that you definitely want to see, and like most of the Disney parks if you want to take in everything you need at least two days.
We spent one full day there and came back a few time for parts of the day and still never saw everything.
Attractions include future world as well as World showcase / Pavilions representing at least 11 countries, each with there own displays and recreations of buildings from there homeland, some with shows or rides as well as souvenirs and food from that country (although the souvenirs may or may not have been actually made in their country)
Our hotel was only a 15 – 20 minute walk to Epcot and we had a week on our park hopper tickets so we went back sometimes just to get the Chinese food at the takeout where the Chinese pavilion was.
Plenty of Disney photographers at key picture taking locations, no obligation to buy and they will take if asked with you camera as well as theirs.
The fireworks show was amazing.
Accessibility:
The park was accessible. Certain ride attractions varied in accessibility, some required you to transfer into the ride vehicle. At the Mexican pavilion, I took a ride that certainly was nice but had to leave the scooter and transfer into the ride, I managed to get into the ride ok but had a great deal of trouble getting out of the ride therefore although the ride was enjoyable I would not take it again.
The ride inside this giant golf ball was called Spaceship Earth, and we went on it, still had to transfer to the ride vehicle but I had a lot less issues getting in and out of the ride vehicle than the one at the Mexican pavilion.
So every ride attraction you have to evaluate yourself what your capabilities are and if you have to transfer into the ride vehicle you have to decide rather it is doable by you or not. Sometimes if a step up and down is required such as the ride at the Mexican pavilion you have to consider not only the step down into it but how easy is it for you to step up and out of it.
There is lots of shows that are completely accessible.
