EPCOT
Test Track has been redone from it's original form, if you went there before 2012 it's changed a lot.  The new version is really cool, first you design a car on a computer. Then you get on the ride, one part of the ride goes at an amazing speed, and you get to compete with other riders to who has the best car.  At the end of the ride you can play games with your car.  They have a race track and you can take pictures with different digital cars as a background.  You can also sit in real cars and press all the buttons.  My Dad likes this as he can check out a car without dealing with a salesman.

I really like Living With the Land, but there isn't much to it, you go on a boat ride through a greenhouse.  There are fish and plants from all over the world, it's pretty interesting.

There are two levels for Mission Space, intense (orange side) and less intense (green side).  If you are claustrophobic, puke when you spin or aren't big into anything like that, you should go for the green side or don't ride at all.  This ride actually has barf bags in front of each seat.  At the end you can play computer games to get your mind off puking.  Each person in groups of 4 has a job to do, press buttons at certain times, but if you don't press the buttons at the right time nothing happens.

I call Soaring either Snoring or Boring because I'm more serious about roller coasters.  My parents like it, you sit in chairs in front of a big screen and "soar" over California.

The Nemo ride is great for little kids who have seen "Finding Nemo."  You ride along in a little shell and watch the "Finding Nemo" story.  I wouldn't go if I had to wait more than 20 minutes.  At the end they have real fish tanks and you see the movie characters with real  fish.  Also in this area you can talk to Crush the turtle which is pretty cool.  The kids sit in the front and ask Crush questions, the parents sit in back on benches.  Most of the time there is a wait for this.  Not every kid is going to get to ask a question.

The World Showcase shows different parts of the world.  There are shops and very good restaurants.  I like the one in Italy, but we have also eaten in Canada, China, Norway and Morocco.

In Norway they have Elsa and Ana from Frozen, but you have to stand in line for hours to get their autograph.  They also didn't have any stuff from Frozen to buy.

In World Showcase you can play the a game with Perry the Platypus from "Phineas and Ferb" it's really fun,
you solve mysteries with a cell phone that you borrow.  I don't know if they are going to keep it since "Phineas and Ferb" isn't on Disney Channel any more and they aren't making new episodes.
