EPCOT | Walt Disney World | Florida | Part 2
Our recent visit to EPCOT was the first time we had been there in 15 years. It’s a big park, so we were prepared for lots of walking, and being so big, it gives the impression that the crowds aren’t as large. Make sure that you check your map while you visit, because it’s easy…

All of which have been favorites to millions of visitors over the years and contain a…
