First, I love Epcot. This is not a park to skip. It doesn't have the outward flash of the other parks but it has depth. There is so much to do and explore that you get lost and discover something new each time. Every. single. time. Do yourself a favor and do not overlook this park. Future World and World Showcase each have their own individual charm and we take a day for each. One of my favorite rides at Epcot is Mission: SPACE. The premise is that you are the first crew to head to Mars. First choice you need to make is what training you will pick. Orange is high intensity (the ride spins like a centrifuge). It will make you sick to your stomach. We opt for Green training (the ride doesn't spin) and it's the exact same ride without feeling sick to your stomach for 2 hours after. Also green never has a long line. It's only 10 minutes max. Meaning we don't waste a fastpass on it.
The best part - the stuff you find when you are leaving. Unlike other Disney rides, this doesn't directly dump you into the merchandise. Nope, you end up in a play place where the kids that are still too small can play (remember ride swap is an awesome thing) and there is also games the bigger kids can play at being mission control. This is always a must do.
