E is for Epcot

"E is for Epcot"While visiting Disney World, one of the first places that visitors suggest you go is Disney’s Epcot. This is mainly because when you take younger children to the Magic Kingdom, they generally don’t want to go anywhere else. Epcot offers a wonderful attraction for children of all ages but older teens and adults find it more enjoyable.

Epcot is broken down into two main sections. These are Future World and World Showcase. There are a lot of festivals every year in this park so checking the events page is highly recommended when attending the parks.
