If Epcot is new to you, let me explain a bit about what you can expect. Epcot, one of the four theme parks at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, is known for its diverse range of themes that celebrate technological achievement, innovation, and international culture. From the diverse countries in the World Showcase to the technological wonders of Future World, Epcot offers a rich tapestry of themes that cater to a wide audience. You will also find elements of nature, incredible festivals and live concerts all throughout the year- it’s a one-of-a-kind park! 

Throughout this post I will chat about various themes around the park and give some ideas about how to dress for that theme, area, festival, ride or attraction. 

Themes of Epcot 

1. Innovation and Technology: The first section of Epcot, is dedicated to celebrating human ingenuity, technological advancements, and innovation. The entrance area is World Celebration where you will find Spaceship Earth, walking paths, areas to sit and hang out, and Connections cafe. As you wander through you will end up in World Discovery. Where you will find the theme of progress, space discovery and innovation. 

Rides you will find in World Celebration and World Discovery

• Cosmic Rewind: Guardians of the Galaxy
• Spaceship Earth
• Mission Space
• Test Track 
• ¡Celebración Encanto! 
• Meet Mickey & pals

You mainly have three options for Epcot outfits in this section: Guardians of the Galaxy, Space focused, and Encanto. Spaceship Earth is not only one of the most iconic rides in Walt Disney World, but it’s also home to the bubble gum wall at the exit. #IYKYK 

This area is my personal favorite and I usually match it with a graphic tee and shorts- either jean shorts or biker shorts! 

2. Environmental Conservation: Epcot also emphasizes the importance of environmental conservation and sustainability within the World Nature area of the park. Attractions like The Land and Living with the Land highlight the interconnection between humanity and the natural world, promoting a message of environmental stewardship and the responsible use of natural resources.

Rides and Attractions in World Nature 

• Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana 
• The Seas with Nemo and Friends
• Turtle Talk with Crush
• The Land Pavillion
  • Soarin’ 
  • Living with the Land

The best themed Epcot outfit ideas for World Nature range from Moana and Finding Nemo to Earth and nature-focused in The Land. 

3. Imagination and Creativity: The Imagination! pavilion encourages guests to explore the realms of creativity, innovation, and imagination through interactive exhibits and attractions. From the beloved Figment character to the Journey into Imagination with Figment ride, this area of Epcot sparks the imagination of visitors of all ages.

Rides and Attractions Nearby

• Journey into Imagination with Figment
• Pixar Short Films Festival 

This area is technically in World Celebration, but it deserves it’s own mention since Figment is such a fan favorite! 

4. International Culture and World Showcase: The World Showcase at Epcot is a melting pot of global cultures, featuring 11 pavilions representing countries from around the world. Each pavilion is meticulously designed to showcase the architecture, cuisine, entertainment, and traditions of its respective country. Visitors can immerse themselves in the diverse cultures of Mexico, Norway, China, Germany, Italy, the United States, Japan, Morocco, France, United Kingdom, and Canada, making the World Showcase a celebration of global diversity and unity.

My favorite area of Epcot is the World Showcase! Themed outfit ideas are really popular based on the countries but also attractions amongst a few of the countries. 

Rides and Attractions in World Showcase (other than the countries themselves!) 

• Canada: Canada Far and Wide in Circle-Vision 360
• France: Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along
• France: Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure 
• America: America Gardens Theatre (check the concert schedule- they are included in your ticket!)
• China: Reflections of China 
• Norway: Frozen Ever After
• Norway: Meet Anna & Elsa
• Mexico: Gran Fiesta Tour Starting the Three Caballeros 

The outfit options are nearly endless looking at this list! I would say the most popular themes you will see are Frozen and Remy, though the others are definitely present! 

5. Drinking or Snacking Around The World: One of the top reasons people go to Epcot is to eat and drink. In my family, it’s a 21 year olds dream celebration. You head to the World Showcase as soon as the bars start serving and you grab a drink in every country. It’s so much fun (just be sure to share drinks if you want to really enjoy AND remember it!). There are plenty of shirt options for enjoying this fun adventure around the park. 

6. The Festivals: there are four main festivals held in Epcot throughout the year and people go all out depending on which festival is currently occurring. 

• Festival of the Arts: Usually January – February 
• Flower and Garden Festival: usually March – May 
• Food and Wine Festival: July or August – November 
• Festival of the Holidays: November – December 

Tips & Tricks for What To Wear in Epcot

There are a few things you should take note of, no matter which park you are in or what theme you want to dress in. 

• You do not have to dress in a specific theme- many people don’t! But it is fun to plan outfits in my opinion. I rotate between matching the theme in the park and just dressing for comfort. If you want to wear your favorite character, a shirt from your favorite ride or even your favorite park and they aren’t present in that park- do it! 
• Wear the Minnie ears or Mickey ears if you want to! I love Disney accessories and ears are one of my favorites. If you do decide to plan out your outfits, don’t forget to think about the ears! 
• Find comfortable shoes! I often see people struggling by afternoon because they wanted to wear the perfect shoes with their outfit. Trust me- stick with your worn in tennis shoes, sandals or Tevas. If you are comfortable walking miles in these shoes on a normal day, they will be great for Disney no matter what your outfit looks like! 
• Don’t forget about a bag of some sort! Whether you are using a fanny pack, backpack, market tote or something else, I always try to match it with my outfit. This could be a bit extra but fanny packs don’t take up much space. I do try to stick with one lounge fly to match most outfits during one trip though. 
• Keep Florida weather in mind. It’s unpredictable, especially from November – February!
