The Land is home to one of Epcot's most popular rides, Soarin' Around the World. This is one ride that you want to get to as early as possible to avoid the long lines. You definitely will want to take advantage of securing a FastPass.
The Land is also home to the Living with the Land boat ride, Behind the Seeds Tour, Garden Grill restaurant and the Sunshine Seasons Food Court.
The Circle of Life: An Environmental Fable had its last showing on February 3, 2018 and Disney has announced that they are adding Awesome Planet to take its place. The new film will give “an on-screen exploration of the realm we call home, showcases the spectacular beauty, diversity and dynamic story of our earth with all the grandeur guests have come to expect" and will begin welcoming guests in January 2020.
TIP: The Sunshine Seasons food court is one of the best food courts at Walt Disney World. Lunch/dinner is available at the Asian Wok Shop, Sandwich Shop & Bakery, Soup & Salad Shop and Wood Fired Grill Shop. In addition, there's a large amount of seating in the pavilion.
Garden Grill
For a sit down meal, the Garden Grill offers fresh American cuisine served family style.
A relaxing 13-minute boat ride takes you on an informative
journey through a tropical rain forest, an African desert complete with sandstorm, and the windswept plains
of a small, turn-of-the-century family farm. Guests
experience the struggles of the past and plans
for farming in the future including Hydroponics, Aeroponics and Aquaculture.
It's not just about fruits and veggies, fish farms are on display.
FUN FACT: If you are enjoying fresh vegetables or fish at an Epcot restaurant, it's likely that they were grown right here.
The educational content on this ride is geared more towards adults, but younger guests will love the boat ride and spotting the different fruits and vegetables.
