What kind of park is it?
EPCOT combines attractions with culture and food. You'll find the rollercoaster Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Test Track and Frozen Ever After, but also gentle attractions such as Spaceship Earth and Living with the Land.

In the evening, the day ends with Luminous The Symphony of Us, a show with fireworks, fountains and lights over the lake.
