    Default Who are must see performers at Epcot?

    We are going to take two days at Epcot for the first time this year. We will be taking a whole day for World Showcase. We normally just rush through it and miss all the shows and performers. I would like to know your favorites and what we shouldn't miss. And also any special things we should take the time to see/do. (We've done Maelstrom! )

    Here are a few of the acts that I enjoy in World Showcase:
    First...all show times are listed on the daily schedule which is available at the gate when you enter.

    I like the British band that plays in the United Kingdom.

    I also like the Women's Comedy Group that performs in Italy. (Audience participation improv)

    I also like the faux Shakespearean acting troupe in the UK.

    There is also a great acrobat/balance act that looks like a waiter, but does balancing act with chairs...way up high in the air. Amazing.

    My favorite must-see is Voices of Liberty in the USA. They are phenomenal!

    Also, I recommend World Showcase Players in the UK, the juggler in Italy and Dragon Legend Acrobats in China.

    In addition, make sure you take time to look around in all of the shops. My kids had so much fun looking at (and trying on) clothing from each country.

    The Voices of Liberty are wonderful! If you haven't seen it, you must also see the American Adventure. The films in France and Canada are well worth viewing as well.

    All the performers are great! If we are at EPCOT we just check the schedules and normally we start in Canada. Most of the time you can work your way around World Showcase and see the performers and other attractions in each country and not have to back-track too much.

    Our favorite is Off Kilter.

    There is no longer a British Invasion. Now there is a pretty mundane, if talented, rock band. We walked away half way through the performance somwehat dissapointed.

    Do NOT miss VOICES OF LIBERTY. Simply exquisite. Plus, if you have never seen the show - The American Adventure, PLEASE take the time to go. Unbeatable.

    Lots of good posts here already, but here's my faves.

    Check the guide, we caught almost all of them last year.

    Mo-Rockin, awesome and yes there is a belly dancer! Very fun! Great Band.

    The Drummers in Japan--never miss 'em.

    the jugglers/acrobats near France. Always catch that show while drinking a Grand Mariner Slush.

    Your lucky to have 2 days there! My vote for best park ever!!

    Mo'Roccin (in Morocco) is one of our favorites. My husband particularly enjoys the belly dancer.

    We also really enjoy the Worldshowcase Players in UK.

    At one point they had a band in Norway too. We enjoyed that one also. But I don't think they were there the last time we went.

    Wow, I can't wait! We always skip the performers because we're trying to get around before we run out of time. I remember hearing the drums in Japan when we were walking by last time, but we didn't stop to watch. And we've never gone in the stores. It should be a real treat this time. (Well it always is, but a different kind of treat.)

    For those talking about the World Showcase Players....Have they stopped doing the show in Italy -- Romeo and Edna?

    I know I haven't seen it the past couple trips, but was hoping that it was still being done. I actually enjoyed that one as much, if not more, than the Grail skit in the UK area.

    I think it is a clown-like character named Sergio, now. He rolls in on a small gondola and does some antics with balls and stuff....oh, and with a whistle.....boy does he have a whistle.

    Honestly, each country has something worth seeing. We always just wander and still manage to catch most of them each trip.
