Ride This Ride If You Want To Get Away From The Crowds In Epcot

There are times that you might just want to get away from the crowds while at Epcot. If so, you should go inside The Land pavilion.

The entire Land pavilion is located inside and while you could ride Soarin’ Around The World, there is always a line for that ride.

The Land pavilion.

Instead, you should ride Living with the Land.

Now, I know this ride is not a super fast roller coaster or a ride that you will be talking about weeks after your trip to Disney World, but it IS a ride that never has a line.

Living with the Land is a slow boat ride that talks about how people for years have been “living with the land.” There is one part of the ride where you will get to see lots of different plants that are actually used in the restaurants at Epcot!

The plants in the middle are lettuce.
These are Daylily, which is an edible flower.

You will be able to get some really pretty pictures from this ride.

I was in Disney World during the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival, so there were even more plants that were in Living with the Land.

Don’t forget to also look for all the Hidden Mickeys in this ride!

Can you find the Hidden Mickey in this picture?

I will guarantee you that there will not be a line for this ride or it will only take five minutes to get on this ride. The only time there might be a line is if it is raining outside.

Next time you want to get away from the crowds in Epcot, give Living with the Land a try!

My Favorite Restaurant at Epcot

Mickey greets you at your table!

Epcot has the most restaurants to choose from, but my favorite restaurant at Epcot is Garden Grill.  The restaurant is in the Land Pavilion and the restaurant even moves!  In the background you can see scenes from the Living with the Land ride. 

Notice Living with the Land is behind us.

At breakfast, for kids they serve Mickey waffles.  For adults there are eggs, bacon, sausage, potato barrels (tater tots), fruit and a cinnamon roll sticky bun.  My favorite is the cinnamon roll sticky bun.  They bring all the food to your table.  If you go to Garden Grill really early for breakfast, they sometimes let you on Soarin’ Around the World early so you don’t have to wait in a long line!

For lunch and dinner they have lots of foods including salad, turkey, pot roast, macaroni & cheese, french fries and vegetables.  Best part is the dessert: berry short cake with whip cream!  You also get to meet characters.  Mickey, Pluto, Chip and Dale all come to your table.
