Clockwise or Counterclockwise EPCOT???

Most of the time, we go clockwise...but part of it depends on what part of Future World we're coming from. Of course, I've only encountered this decision about a dozen times since I've only been there a few times...but EPCOT is my favorite WDW park

We like to end our night in England most of the time. I'm not sure I could say we go one way or the other though. It all depends on what we're looking to do and what's going on in world showcase.

I've always gone Counter-Clockwise. I don't know why. I never really thought about it.

Clockwise if we have lunch reservations at the San Angel Inn. Counterclockwise if not.

Interesting question. I have to say counter clockwise. We usually stay at the Boardwalk so I enter through the international gateway and usually head over to France b/c there are more countries heading that way. We usually finish up the day in England.

I usually go to the right from the bridge, past canada to the UK, etc. But last time we went the other way. We always get hung up around Japan, listening to the drums.

I travel in both directions, but I start with counterclockwise a little more often, probably because of the other attractions from the front of the park that are a little closer to that side.

We oddly come down from Figment and go counter clockwise starting in Canada. I never really thought about it before...

I've never given it much thought, but I generally start with Canada and work my way around where we end up in Mexico. That way I can have an eclair from Boulangerie Patisserie at the midway point, and then end with a meal at Cantina de San Angel (complete with churros).

We usually start counterclockwise, unless it's margarita time. Otherwise, it's Canada-HO!

I haven't a clue as to "why" we go clockwise around Epcot, but we always do. I do know what our standard plan is, though. We start with Maelstrom and a Carlsbad in Norway, followed by a Tsingtao in China. By that time, we're ready for a bratwurst and Spaten in Germany.

The rest of the afternoon includes shopping, characters, ice cream, and possibly a Kronenbourg in France.

The afternoon ends in Canada with Molson and popcorn, and Off-Kilter.

Wow. I wish I was in Epcot right now!

I don't think I've ever gone around World Showcase clockwise. Always been counterclockwise for me.

I think i've gone clockwise each time ive been to Epcot except the last time when it was pouring rain and we thought maybe we could get into LeCellier. We didnt get in but it was good to watch Oh Canada and dry out a bit!

We usually enter at the International Gateway and start off from the UK. We like that we can do a couple of countries and then mix it up with future world.

I love this topic! Maybe the next topic should be drinking around EPCOT!!! Sounds like everyone enjoys their adult beverages around the countries like us. Geeeeeze, I can't wait!
