There are so many things to do in EPCOT I couldn’t possibly list them all, but here are a few hidden or overlooked things that I personally have had a blast with!
One of the things I have enjoyed the most are the live entertainment bits here and there in the World Showcase, from the Ziti Sisters, to the drummers in Japan, to the Mariachi Band in Mexico, there is something for everyone. Many of the acts, like the Ziti Sisters, are very interactive by including willing audience members to take part in their skits. I just happened upon the end of the Ziti Sisters act and liked it so much I had to come back at their next scheduled time to see the entire show.
Another fun thing to do is hidden inside the Japan pavilion. The “choose your own pearl” counter is a blast. The cast members behind the counter are so fun and friendly, and they turn the entire thing into a lovely little production, complete with a drum roll for the presentation of your particular pearl. 
For me, it was a fun and relatively inexpensive way to spend a few moments out of the heat and get a great souvenir. The cost is less than $20 to choose your pearl, if you choose a piece of jewelry to put your pearl in the cost will vary! I purchased a small cage style pendant to keep my pearl in, and nearly 5 years later I still love it and wear it!
One of my favorite things to do in EPCOT, especially with first time visitors or children, is to complete the EPCOT passport. You can purchase a realistic looking passport kit, complete with passport, stickers and a large button/pin for around ten dollars at most of the kiosks and shops all around Future World. While exploring World Showcase be sure to visit the Kid-Cot station in each of the countries. Cast Members, native to each country will stamp your passport and write a message in their native language. The highlight for me was seeing my name in both Arabic and Chinese! Children can also color a fun activity at each of the stations if they desire.
Of course there are some fantastically fun things to do in Future World as well as the World Showcase! One thing that is fun is to check out Club Cool and try all the different soda pops from around the World. Some of them are fantastic – others not so much – you may be surprised at which ones you like! This is an activity that doesn’t cost you a cent, and you can try as much as you like using their little tasting cups! Once you have tried them all it is great fun to watch others taste them as well. 
There are so many fun things to keep you entertained at EPCOT, You never know what might become your new favorite!
