EPCOT Itinerary for Tweens (10–12)

Q: What is the best EPCOT itinerary for tweens?

The best one-day EPCOT itinerary for tweens starts with Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at rope drop, followed by Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Test Track, Mission: Space Orange (intense centrifuge — tweens are the perfect age). For lunch, try Le Cellier Steakhouse (Canada pavilion, book 60 days ahead) — or Coral Reef Restaurant. The afternoon features Soarin' Around the World and Remy's Ratatouille Adventure. Give tweens a small food budget for festival kiosks — independently choosing what to try teaches them food appreciation and creates lasting memories.

One-day plan — rope drop to close.
