Another anniversary is quickly approaching at Walt Disney World - EPCOT’s 40th Anniversary Celebration! As part of this, some fan-favorite tours are returning beginning October 2, 2022.
These personalized experiences offer an exciting look at the magic of possibilities and provide guests with the unique ability to experience EPCOT by land and by sea!
Experience The Land - Behind the Seeds Tour
This is one of my absolute favorite experiences at Walt Disney World, and I highly recommend if you are an avid-gardener or you’re just looking to improve your green thumb! This one-hour guided walking tour will take you through the innovative greenhouses at EPCOT, where you can get up-close to plants, fish and more!
My favorite part of this tour was learning about the hydroponic growing techniques that are used throughout The Land. You get a glimpse of these greenhouses onboard: Living with the Land, but this tour takes the experience to the next level.
This experience is great for the whole family!
Experience The Seas
DiveQuest
This is an adventure I have not participated in just yet, but would absolutely love to! If you are SCUBA-certified this is the tour for you! EPCOT Seas Adventures – DiveQuest you will dive right into a 5.7-million-gallon saltwater environment and immerse themselves into the sea life surrounding the coral reef. This experience offers SCUBA-certified guests guaranteed calm seas, unlimited visibility, no current and incredible marine life (over 2,000 sea creatures representing over 90 aquatic species including sea turtles, angelfish, dolphins, eagle rays and sharks.) Pretty incredible!
A few things to note before booking this experience. Guests must be 10 years old or older. Any guest between 10 - 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Proof of SCUBA-certification is required. This tour is 2 hours long, with about 40 minutes on the dive.
Dolphins in Depth
Love marine life but not SCUBA-certified? EPCOT has you covered! Dolphins in Depth is an incredible experience where you can meet the bottlenose dolphins at The Seas to learn about their complex undersea behavior and talk with the experts who work with them every day. This tour is approximately 2 hours long with a 30 minute Dolphin encounter - and yes - you WILL get wet so a bathing suit is required.
A few things to note prior to booking this experience - guests must be 44” tall for this experience. A bathing suit is required, but you do NOT need to be SCUBA-certified! This is a wading experience, you will not be fully immersed in the water. And Disney does require full understanding of English to participate, for safety of the guests and animals.
These tours are available to add to your vacations at the 60-day mark and I highly encourage guests to consider adding this unique experiences to their Disney Vacation, if traveling after October 2! Be sure to contact Melissa to learn more!
