Timely question about Epcot now

[ChrisFL]

Thought this would make for an interesting poll.

Inevitably the two very different parts of Epcot are linked, so the question is, which is the stronger of the two RIGHT NOW for us regulars?

i spend 50/ 50 i do sorin, test track, figment, and nemo in future world, and then walk around world showcase, eat, drink , and be merry. also i do a few of the films and rides if the line is short

I spend more time in Worldshowcase just because I think it is beautiful and one of the best themes areas in Disney. Plus the food and drinks are amazing

I don't know, lol. I never kept track. So I voted 50/50 as my best guess. Before I'd done both of them to death, I spent a LOT more time in the WS.

I voted for the 50/50 split, but we typically spend more time in World Showcase then Future World, I just think its likely closer to 50/50 then 75/25.

Interesting poll results so far. I didn't expect World Showcase to be getting so much love.

I think "Disney Addicts" who visit the parks more than once a year have more of an appreciation for World Showcase then say people who don't get to go every year.

If I was a guest who only came to the world once every two years, and I was only there for 5 nights, I probably wouldn't spend a lot of time in World Showcase, either. I'd be on Spaceship Earth and Soarin and doing the Future World thing as much as possible.

World Showcase is a more time-consuming, leisurely park tour, but if you do it right, its one of the best "lands" to visit at Disney World.

Very interesting question!! I also voted for the 50/50 split. We so everything there is to do in Future World and then start to the left and walk World Showcase. We love the rides and then love our leisurely stroll eating and shopping through the countries.

75 World.....we do spend sometime in the Future, but once across, usually no return.

Hmm, it depends on who I'm with. When I'm by myself, I tend to spend more time in Future World exploring, and listening to the music. When I'm with other people, we spend a lot of time in World Showcase. That probably sounds backwards, but I still love the atmosphere of FW even if the attractions aren't as great as they once were.
Plus, I'm a Jammitors groupie.

Same here! But I also check out Captain EO!

I voted 25% Future World because that was the closest for us, but in reality it's closer to 35% Future, 65% World Showcase. We can't do Imagination in its current sorry state; Energy Adventure doesn't call to us any more; the Land has just become entry to Soarin'. We miss Living Seas the way it was pre-Nemo. Epcot really needs some help there.

 

[real mad hatter]

50/50 for us.

It used to be 75/25 for FW. Then they largely destroyed FW because a few hicks thought the mere mention of 'combustion engine' and 'Jules Verne' meant 'educational', which is something they loath and try to keep out of their children's lives.

WS fared much better. WS moved from 'unfinished addendum to FW' to 'keeper of the soul of EPCOT Center'. I now split my time evenly between FW and WS.

Understood, but I was trying not not have 50 poll options

 

[Goofyernmost]

It's about 50/50 for me. I enjoy both but I end up spending more time actually in Future World because for me there is more to see and do. I am not a shopper or browser so I only go to the pavilions that have something in the form of entertainment. I know, I know...no culture at all!

But I enjoy both equally and wouldn't dream of doing only one side unless I just ran out of time.

 

[bdearl41]

This is a good question. I usually will spend a morning/afternoon in FW then head to either DHS or MK for the evening, then spend a morning at another park and do the afternoon/evening at World Schowcase.

 

[acishere]

Its comes out 50/50, but in FW that is mostly spent waiting in line. In WS its spent wandering around shops, exhibits, and food stands. So more enjoyable time is spent at WS.

 

[Lucky]

About 50-50, but only because we spend so much of our Epcot time in WS restaurants and watching Illuminations.

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

I said 50/50 mostly because we spend the 50% of FW in lines and attractions and the 50% of WS eating!
