For the Whole Family
·      Spaceship Earth – This relaxing, slow moving ride takes you from the time of cavemen into the present day, with a glimpse into the future.
·      Ellen's Universe of Energy –Jump into Ellen's dream and journey back to the time of the dinosaurs with her and Bill Nye the Science Guy to learn all about energy.
·      Mission Space Advance Training Labs – After, or instead of, your ride on Mission Space, step into this realm of space-themed interactive games and activities.
·      Living with the Land This boat ride takes you through different environments of Earth, and also gives you a tour of how Disney is actively learning from the land, and the many plants and produce they grow at the parks. You'll even find out how they grow those pumpkins in the shape of Mickey ears :).
·      Soarin' – This is my mom's favorite ride in all of Disney World. By combining a unique dome-shaped I-MAX screen and new ride technology, you'll feel like you're soaring over California in a hang glider. See the sights, feel the wind, and even smell the orange groves. Amazing!
·      Circle of Life: An Environmental Fable – Simba, Timon and Pumbaa teach you a little about the circle of life in this educational, but cute, film.
·      Captain EO – Returning to Epcot for the first time since 1994, this 3-D film stars Michael Jackson, and features special effects by George Lucas and musical numbers by Michael.
·      Image Works After your Journey into Imagination with Figment, you'll come into Image Works where you can enjoy interactive games and technologies. There are super cool things here. We almost never got my dad out of here the first time!
·      O Canada – A 360 degree wrap-around screen shows you the beautiful sights of Canada in this short film.
·      Impressions de France – A wrap-around film featuring France.
·      Reflections of China – Another wrap-around film featuring China.
·      Malestrom – Journey into Norway's past on a Viking boat ride.
·      Grand Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Cabelleros – Donald and pals take you on a boat tour through brilliant Mexico.
·      American Adventure – This 30-minute show features great moments and people from American history. You'll see animatronic versions of Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, Mark Twain, JFK, Susan B. Anthony and more.
        Illuminations: Reflections of Earth – At 9 p.m. every night, the sky above Epcot lights up with this amazing firework and water show on World Showcase Lagoon. The show can be seen from anywhere around World Showcase. My personal favorite spot is on the Future World side of the lagoon, straight out from Spaceship Earth. It gives you a great view of the whole World Showcase, and it makes for a quicker exit after the show.
