Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World is amazing but with me Disney isn't just about the Magic Kingdom.
Epcot provides the best of both worlds - there's Future World, with
high tech rides and visions of the future, and the World Showcase, which
allows you to explore the culture of 11 different countries from around
the world. There's plenty to see and do here, but the following list
describes some of the attractions that are most likely to appeal to me and young people:
1. Mission: Space
Ever wonder what it feels like to be an astronaut? Now you can get your chance on this intense motion simulator ride. You'll actually feel the G-force while on it - if you choose to ride the "intense" side. The ride now has two options: green, for a less intense experience, and orange, for the more intense. Choose orange and you'll feel like you're actually in a spaceship traveling to Mars.

2. Test Track
This ride does a good job combining a variety of elements, and the theming is well done too. It's interesting to go through the series of "tests" that the car goes through, but the most exciting part is definitely the end, when you go zooming outside at 60 mph in an open car.

3. World Showcase
Though not necessarily an "attraction," the World Showcase is a whole area of Epcot that's fun to explore. When else can you visit 11 countries in a few hours? Some of the countries have movies or rides, while others just have shops and restaurants. Pick up some unique souvenirs or try some different foods - and if you're of age, sampling some of the various alcoholic beverages can make for a fun afternoon!

4. Soarin'
This ride takes you high above California and makes you feel like you are hang-gliding. The scenery on the screens is just stunning, and you'll really feel like you're there.

5. The Seas with Nemo and Friends
Okay, so the actual ride here is for little kids - but if you like Nemo it's worth going on. However, this pavilion also has lots of aquariums and various interactive and educational sections, so it's fun to explore. Plus, you'll want to check out Turtle Talk with Crush. Though it is again directed toward the young 'uns, observing the technology and the way that children actually get to interact with this Finding Nemo character is just heartwarming.
