Rope drop: Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind

No debate here: Guardians is EPCOT's best ride and the reverse launch is genuinely surprising even for jaded teens.

Morning plan

  1. 1Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
  2. 2Mission: Space Orange
  3. 3Test Track
  4. 4Frozen Ever After (a classic; teens will enjoy it)

Lunch

Le Cellier Steakhouse or Space 220 Restaurant

Space 220 is the most visually interesting restaurant in EPCOT. It books out fast: reserve the day your 60-day dining window opens.

Afternoon plan

  1. 1Soarin' Across America
  2. 2Remy's Ratatouille Adventure
  3. 3World Showcase food and cultural exploration
  4. 4Disney & Pixar Short Film Festival (great break)
Pro tip: Teens with intellectual curiosity will love the World Showcase. Japan's Mitsukoshi store, Morocco's architecture, and France's perfumerie are all excellent.

Dinner

Takumi-Tei (Japan pavilion, exceptional Japanese cuisine)

Evening plan

  1. 1Guardians second ride
  2. 2World Showcase illumination walk
  3. 3Fireworks (teens may stay; let them lead)
Teens who profess disinterest in EPCOT often become its biggest fans after a full day in World Showcase.

Lightning Lane priorities

  • 1.Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
Pro tip
Give teens full control of the World Showcase afternoon. The freedom to wander, sample food, and explore cultures at their own pace is EPCOT's greatest offering.
