5 don't-miss attractions at Epcot



If your focus is food and wine, here are five Epcot attractions you still shouldn't miss, says Len Testa, co-author of ``The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World.'' He recommends seeing them in this order to reduce your waits in lines:

1. Soarin': This hang-glider simulation over California, almost certainly Disney World's most popular attraction, is in Future World. Great for small children and seniors. Ask to sit in the top row for a better view.

2. Sum of All Thrills: Located in Future World's Innoventions East pavilion, this new attraction is a roller coaster simulator built on top of a giant robotic arm. Kids and adults can choose their own twists, turns, dips and loops using a tabletop computer, then board the robotic arm to experience what they've built.

3. Spaceship Earth: It's a tribute to Disney's storytelling skills that an attraction describing the history of human communications is still one of the most popular attractions in the park. Plus, riding inside the golf ball-like geosphere is just cool.

4. The American Adventure: At the U.S. pavilion in World Showcase. The American Adventure tells the story of our country's birth, growing pains and ascendancy to world superpower. Intensely patriotic without being overly political. Contains some of Disney World's most elaborate animatronics and best music.

5. IllumiNations: Epcot's nighttime fireworks, fountains and laser show, set in the middle of World Showcase Lagoon. Our pick as the best nighttime show in Walt Disney World, especially for adults. Keep an eye on the giant globe in the middle of the show, which is a combination LED television, water fountain and flame-shooting boat. How the designers got this past Disney's notoriously tightwad accountants is still a mystery.
