The front of the park is occupied by Future World which celebrates the unity of technology and nature and the rear of the park features World Showcase which highlights eleven different countries of the world to celebrate culture and unity. Guests love spending time in Epcot enjoying attractions, dining, shopping, and entertainment and love to return time and time again. With so many things to experience on a day in Epcot, guests are smart to utilize the FastPass system in order to enjoy popular experiences while not losing a lot of time standing in line. FastPasses allow guests to book a specific time to return to an experience and enjoy it with little to no wait time saving them lots of time and allowing them to see more throughout their day in the park. Here are six rides or attractions that guests should really FastPass on their next visit to Epcot.

6. Illuminations: Reflections of Earth

Each night in Epcot, World Showcase Lagoon comes to life with a presentation of Illuminations: Reflections of Earth.
