EPcot - dining options

Future world

Epcot is currently divided into two distinct areas: Future World and World Showcase. Both areas have great dining, and it makes the most sense to divide the dining page into the two areas. Epcot is the largest park on property, and when you are here, you will likely do the most walking, so plan appropriately!

Future world is home to Soarin’ Around the World, Living with the Land, Spaceship Earth and many more iconic attractions. Future World is currently undergoing a major overhaul and there is a lot of construction currently, which does add to the amount of walking. That said, there are still amazing dining opportunities in Future World, and a brand-new experience is opening in the Fall of 2021. Below you’ll find the table service and quick service options available in Future World.

future world - Quick Service Restaurants

Due to the vast amount of construction at Epcot, there are not many quick-service locations in Future World at this time. However there are many food carts located throughout the area, with turkey legs, Mickey pretzels and ice cream bars and other easy snacks to enjoy while you’re on the go.

The quick-service spots in Future World do not require an advance reservation and often-times offer Mobile Ordering right from the My Disney Experience App. I highly recommend Mobile Ordering your meals and have noted below which restaurants have Mobile Ordering available.
