Pro tip: Impressions de France is a seated theater and a real rest stop in World Showcase. The Circle-Vision 360 films in the China and Canada pavilions are standing-room only, so skip them if you need to sit down.

Evening plan

  1. 1World Showcase evening stroll
  2. 2Rose & Crown Pub (UK: quiet evening atmosphere, real British pub)

Several benches and rest areas line the World Showcase promenade. Stake out a bench near the lagoon 30 minutes before fireworks for a seated view.

Lightning Lane priorities

  • 1.Soarin' Across America (if waits exceed 40 min)
  • 2.Frozen Ever After
Pro tip
EPCOT is the most senior-friendly Disney park by a significant margin. The World Showcase has minimal queues, beautiful scenery, and excellent food. Plan to spend 5–6 hours here at a relaxed pace.
