5 Things We Silently Cringe at in EPCOT
Disney World is incredible, but that doesn’t mean it’s without any cringe.
No matter how hard you try to avoid them, uncomfortable moments are bound to happen at Disney World. Unfortunately, EPCOT is no exception, and there are 5 things we secretly cringe at when we visit.
Here are a few cringey things you need to look out for during your next trip to EPCOT!
People Who Can’t Handle Their Liquor
Let’s not beat around the bush: EPCOT is a popular tourist spot and it’s not just because of the top-tier attractions. The wide array of alcoholic options as well as the ability to drink around the world draw in adults far and wide.
From festival booth offerings to sit-down restaurants, it’s really easy to get a cocktail or several at EPCOT, and many adults take advantage of this. Unfortunately, there are plenty of folks who participate but don’t know when to cut themselves off.
The lack of inhibition can often lead to sloppiness and bad behavior, and it’s likely that you’ll run into a least one person who fits this category during a trip to EPCOT.
As always, we recommend cutting yourself off, staying hydrated, and drinking responsibly when deciding to drink at this Disney theme park. At the end of the day, EPCOT is tailored to be a kid-friendly experience — let’s all work together to maintain that standard.
Hearing Smack Talk Against Living with the Land
We understand that everyone has their favorite attractions and Living with the Land isn’t the most popular. But it’s wonderful, informative, our sweet baby, and deserves some respect.
What the ride lacks in thrills it makes up for in spades in relaxation and uniqueness.
Highlighting the importance of sustainability, this attraction serves a real purpose and doesn’t deserve any smack.
It also has an adorable holiday overlay, so, ya, know…cut it some slack. You know the saying: If you don’t have anything nice to say, say nothing at all.
CommuniCore Hall and Plaza During Non-Festivals
When they opened in 2024, CommuniCore Hall and CommuniCore Plaza did so to controversy.
Guests had mixed reactions, with many confused and let down by how basic the space was, feeling it wasn’t doing nearly enough.
Unfortunately, we kinda get it. While CommuniCore Hall and Plaza get dolled up for the festivals, it still feels like there is a ton of untapped potential.
This area is still pretty fresh though, so there’s plenty of time for Disney to rectify the situation.
The Pricing at Space 220
Our enthusiasm to eat a meal 220 miles up in space was through the roof when Space 220 was announced. Then we saw the prices…
Offering prix fixe meals, Space 220 charges $55 per person for lunch and $79 per person for dinner. Unfortunately, the food is just ok and doesn’t justify the costs. After our initial experience, it’s safe to say we were a bit shocked.
Once again, Space 220 has plenty of room to improve, and we won’t be surprised if it does.
In the meantime, visit the Space 220 Lounge for lighter fare (and lighter spending).
Long Wait Times
Sorry folks, waiting is gonna happen at EPCOT whether you like it or not. The E-Ticket rides like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Test Track, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, and Frozen Ever After do NUMBERS.
You can help your cause with Lightning Lanes and virtual queues, but unless you use a Premier Pass, you’re going to likely have to wait a while for some ride.
You could also do multiple days to maximize your chances of getting on everything, as well as prioritizing your favorite attractions.
All in all, it’s never a bad idea to practice patience.
And there you have it! Let us know some cringey things you’ve seen at EPCOT and continue to follow us here at AllEars for all the latest Disney World updates!
8 Beloved Things I Secretly Cringe at in Disney World
Share some things that make you uncomfortable at EPCOT in the comments below!
- People who mispronounce "EPCOT" – It’s not "Epcot" or "Epcot Center," it’s simply "EPCOT." Hearing guests say it wrong can make us cringe every time.
- Guests who don’t appreciate the World Showcase – EPCOT’s World Showcase is a unique and immersive experience, but some guests seem to rush through it without truly taking in all the sights, sounds, and flavors. It’s a shame to see people miss out on such a special part of the park.
- Overly picky eaters at the food and wine festivals – EPCOT’s food and wine festivals are a highlight for many guests, but it can be cringe-worthy to see someone turn up their nose at the diverse and delicious offerings. It’s all about trying new things and expanding your palate!
- Parents who let their children run wild – EPCOT is a family-friendly park, but it’s important for parents to keep an eye on their kids and make sure they’re respectful of other guests. Nothing makes us cringe more than seeing children causing chaos and disrupting the magic for others.
- Guests who treat the Cast Members poorly – EPCOT Cast Members work hard to create a magical experience for guests, so it’s disheartening to see people treat them with disrespect or rudeness. Remember, kindness goes a long way in making everyone’s day at EPCOT a little brighter.
