Top Three Atractions: 1:Mission Space, World Showcase, Test Track
Least Favorite Atraction: The Seas With Nemo & Friends
Best Place To Eat: Restaurant Marrakesh

All right! Let's get down to business!
Mission Space: Mission Space is a flight simulater, that makes you feel like you are on a spaceship going to Mars! No really, it's actualy fun!
Warning: There Are a bunch of warnings. I mean it's good to know that if you are prone to motion sickness, or have high blood pressure, you shouldn't do the more intense one (I did) but even on the less intense one they say that, like 5 times! But you shouldn't worry, (unless you are prone to motion sickness, have heart, back, or neck problems, or are an "expectant mother". Which by the way, if you are, you shouldn't be at Disney world.) it's not really that bad. But it's still intense!

READ EXTENDED ENTRY!!!!!

World Showcase: This is probably the coolest part of Epcot. It's fastest trip around the world I've ever taken. Basicly, there are severeal different "countrys" you can visit and each one has 2-3 shops to buy little doodads from each country, variouse street shows, and really tastey food!
It's really just about hanging out and doing intresting things. Which if you've spent the day riding thrilling rides, and walking around in the hot Florida sun, is a nice way to end it. Note: you should plan on spending most of your day at Epcot in the World Showcase, since it's so big, and there's so much to do.

Test Track: This is a new one, so the lines will be long. The set up is this: you are a crash test dummie for a new car. You go through a bunch of "tests" for the car. Like "extreme" heat and cold, bumpy roads, you test the brakes, and go REALLY fast!!!
It sounds really cool, but it's not that great actually. If you kept going after every test, it would be really fun. But just as you start to really have fun, you stop and spend 20 seconds listening to them explaing the next test. Still, all and all not that bad. But not worth 45 minutes standing in line. (get a fast pass)

Least Favorite atraction: The Seas with Nemo and Friends
This is not just the worst ride in epcot, it's the worst ride in Disney World! INCLUDING "it's a small world!"
Only go on this ride if...
1.There is no line (even one pereson)
2.You have something to cover your eyes and/or earplugs (wich you may remove at the end to se the star fish)
3.You have kids who apaslutly LOVE Finding Nemo
All of these must aply to ride this.

Restaurant Marrakesh: This ia an AWSOME restaurant!
It's tucked away in a corner and not very well displayed, so it's sort of hard to get to, but it is so worth it!
Because it's tucked away and has rather unfamilier cuisine, it's not very crowded. (at least at lunch I didn't go there for dinner)
But it should be because the food is SOOO good! At first I was mad, because they only had one vegitarien option, but it was so tastey I soon forgot my anger. I recomend the seafood pastry appetizer thing. It is hot finley chopped seafood and vegtables stuffed into a flakey cone of goodness, and beautifuly presented on a plate drizzled whith a delisiouse lemony sauce. And the coffee is fantastic! (with a lot of cream! : ]) They also have a fun floor show. Belly dancing with live music! I could go on and on about the yummy food, faboules presentation and wonderful service, but this is all ready a very long post, so I think i'll stop now.

p.s I also went to the nine dragons, (a chinese place) which was very tastey I recomend the fish!
