I was at EPCOT twice within two months of its opening.
Conclusion: It ISN'T the Magic Kingdom.

Since you've put me in mind of it, I should think to post "Bickford's
hemisemiofficial review of EPCOT [Supersedes "Bickford's
hemidemisemiofficial review of EPCOT"]"

FutureWorld: displays to bridge the communications gap between the techs
and the rest. Fairly good - many of the exhibits are hands-on. Notice -
if you should play Bit-By-Bit in the Bell (uh, AT&T) section, be warned
that in October 82 the score was stored in 8 bits. I was more than a
little indignant when my score went from 255 to 0.
There are opportunities to "play," but I think those with a creative
bent would enjoy it more.

YE PUBLICK NOTICE (in case I don't post the full review): Don't waste your
time on either "Kitchen Kabaret" or Eastern's "Astuter Computer Review."

WorldShowcase: more in the way of entertainment - if Barnaby's side show
is still there, see it! Whether the kids enjoy depends on whether they'd
enjoy a sightseeing trip; kids can get bored fast.

NOTICE 2: Take two days, preferably not on a weekend. Spend one day to
see, another day to take pictures, once you know where you'd like to
take them. You can borrow a disc camera there, but it suffers several
defects: no time exposure, no telephoto (shooting across the lake is
probably the best way for a building photo), and a flash whether you
want it or not.
