One of the best sources of information about WDW is the free app, my disney experience or for your computer, add a .com after the name. It has lots of good current information as it is run by WDW, everything from wait times, special events, closures, park hours, dining, etc. I just took a look at the app I have on my tablet and see that Soarin is closed for a remodel, won't be open till summer of 2016.
While EPCOT is spread out, I never thought of the walking as a problem, and I will turn 74 next month plus I am high mileage as well. LOL. Anyone with mobility problems can rent an electric scooter to use in the park. We tend to spend about 35 to 40 nights a year camping at Fort Wilderness plus go up for day trips on occasions. We have Florida residents annual passes, so we are only out our fuel cost to get to Orlando from here in Stuart, FL. On the day trips. If I only go to one park, it is usually either the Magic Kingdom or EPCOT. Might go to Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom once or twice a year at most.
On our last visit, this past Christmas, for a week at the Fort, I only went over to the park, Magic Kingdom, once. Had lunch , a great hot dog, at Casey's, road the train around the park, road the monorail around the different circuits, caught the boat back to the campground and that was the only time I went to a park that week. Our adult daughters and our grandsons were up early and off to the parks till late at night. We all have different parks as our favorite, but they seem to have lots of things to do for all age groups, etc.
