Great rides, food outlets with the opportunity to chill if you want. Typhoon lagoon is equally good with a great wave pool.

Fabulous new ride Guardians of the Galaxy (well worth the wait) adds to the Park which is a nice contrast with the other Parks, but complements them. Lots of great food to choose from in the multi-cultural set pieces.

Had an amazing time at Hollywood Studios, particularly loved Tower of Terror, ROCK N ROLLER, and seeing Galaxys Edge. The short video to see Walts Dream was incredibly moving, where the magic began.

My husband and I had a great time in Epcot, it had our favourite ride, Guardians! It was also incredible to visit all of the different countries and trying food and drink from around the world. Highly recommended for all, although younger children might prefer the other parks.

Sadly I got very poorly, a young women Taylor for guest relations, was incrediable, she took us all to safety, made sure the children were safe, she even helped with das, nexplaining the ambulance had already been out to me, and she and her team witness several severe drop attacks, unconscious for minutes at a time, but das women refused, my grandson who really strugggles in social, noisy enviroments, had his das refused, even though he had it his whole life, the agent Eddy sat watching him punch himself in face until his nose bleed and refused to help or acknowledge his experience. This das agend was also cold, but disney staff were able advocate on his behalf and he was awarded das. The challenge we were left with, i can't be left alone, and i can't do most rides for obvious reasons, but the woen didn't care. Two hours it took, we were given 2 lightening passes, but couldnt work out how to do them, Forever grateful to taylor and staff on duty that day. We only got to do avatar land, yetti was closed and animals on track on safri and we ran out of time

4 stars:

meet a gentleman at enterance, and he listened to us, we felt heard and seen, he gave lightening passes, however due to weather the rides were down. Epcot is entertaining, education and for all the family, wish we felt comfortable to go back to experience more of it, but the childrens experience of das and das staff, has left them fearful and filled with dread, overwhelming emotion attached to their once magic place
