Epcot - The Land
| Main Page | Future World | World Showcase |
The Land Pavillion Overview
Year
Opened: 1982
Fun Fact: At nearly 6 acres, this pavilion is the largest
in Future World.
The Land is home to one of Epcot's most popular rides, Soarin'. This is one ride that you want to get to as early as possible to avoid the long lines. You definitely will want to take advantage of FastPass, but even these run out quickly.
The Land is also home to the Circle of Life, Living With the Land Boat Ride, Behind the Seeds Tour, Garden Grill restaurant and the Sunshine Seasons Food Court.
Garden Grill
For a sit down meal, the Garden Grill offers fresh American cuisine served family style.
A cute lesson in environmental responsibility awaits you in the Harvest Theatre. This 20 minute film stars the Lion King's Simba, Timon and Pumbaa. Combining live footage with animation, the tale is told in simple terms that all age groups can enjoy.
This is a good attraction to visit when you need a break and don't want to deal with overly long waits that you may find at some other rides.
The Harvest Theatre can accommodate 428 guests and is wheelchair accessible. For guests who are hearing impaired, assistive listening devices are available and reflective captioning is offered. Stop at Guest Services for information.
A relaxing 13 minute boat ride takes you on an informative
journey through a tropical rain forest, an African desert complete with sandstorm, and the windswept plains
of a small, turn-of-the-century family farm. Guests
experience the struggles of the past and plans
for farming in the future including Hydroponics, Aeroponics and Aquaculture.
It's not just about fruits and veggies, fish farms are on display. Since The Land is a Disney restaurant supplier, You could very well be seeing your entree. Wonder where those Mickey shaped cucumbers in your salad came from? This is where they're grown.
This popular attraction is geared more towards adults, but littler guests will also find it entertaining. Guests in ECVs must be able to
transfer to a wheelchair.
- FireDancer - "This is one of the few rides that lives up to the original concept of Epcot: Edutainment. You start off going through some show scenes of different environments and how those environments effect farming and vegetation. The second half of the ride goes through working greenhouses."
- dpuck1998 - "While kids might find this ride boring, I enjoy the nice boat ride and tour of the gardens. A good way to relax in the busy Land Pavillion or while waiting for your Soarin fast pass."
