What does Epcot WS and Epcot FW mean?

[NCTWINSMOM]

As you can see I'm new and trying to plan our days there. On the Park Hours it has Epcot FW with said time that opens and closes, then it has Epcot WS with said times that open and closes. Please help me understand what that is referring to? I'm a newbie that needs HELP!

Thanks,

Hello and Welcome,

FW - Future World
WS - World Showcase

Have fun planning

WS- World Showcase (the countries)
FW- Future World (that's where the rides like Test Track and Spaceship Earth are).

Hi Twinsmom!! Welcome! I have twins too, DB41/2. WS is world showcase, FW is futureworld!
:O) Have a great trip

Please allow me to give you a tip about FW hours. Most days (if not always) the schedule has Future World closing earlier than World Showcase. The popular attractions in Future World will continue operating until the closing time of World Showcase. So don't be fooled thinking the rides/attractions close with the scheduled park closing. Some do close, but many continue until WS closes.

Have a great trip to the World!

FW is Future World, this means it has:
~Spaceship Earth
~Test Track
~Mission: Space
~Innoventions
~Ellen's Energy Adventure
~Wonders Of Life Pavilion (Body Wars, Cranium Command, The Making of Me)
~The Seas with Nemo and Friends
~The Land Pavilion (Living with the Land, Soarin')
~The Imagination Pavilion (Imagination Institute Open House, Honey I Shrunk the Audience)

WS is World Showcase, and it has:
~The Norway Pavilion
~The Italy Pavilion
~The United Kingdom Pavilion
~The Canada Pavilion
~The Mexico Pavilion
~The China Pavilion
~The German Pavilion
I think there's a few more, but I only go to WS to eat- so I don't know that much about it (except for "The lamb stew in that Norweigan restaurant is GREAT!")
