Plan: EPCOT Late Arrival Not-A-Touring-Plan Plan for Parents and Adults
Summary: Instead of a step-by-step list of attractions to visit, these "Not-A-Touring-Plan" plans are a loose collection of guidelines we use when telling folks how to tour EPCOT. Most of these plans (there are more for the other parks) aren't more than a dozen sentences long. For example, one step in the plans is "Tour World Discovery's attractions." See those attractions in any order (keeping in mind our suggestions). Stop to take photos, to shop, or to rest. Continue the plan whenever you're ready. You'll have a solid strategy for beating most of the crowds, with the most flexible schedule possible.
Additional Instructions: To use Lightning Lane with this plan: The most useful Lightning Lane reservations for this plan are for Remy's Ratatouille Adventure, Test Track, and Soaring Around the World (in that order). Get the first available reservation for one of those, and fit that return time window into the plan. If using Single Lightning Lane Attraction Selections, try to get a Guardians reservation for as close to your arrival time as possible. Stop the tour when it's time to ride, then resume the tour.
