My Favorite Things – Epcot

In my opinion, I saved the best for last.  Out of all of Walt Disney World, Epcot is definitely my favorite park.  While Magic Kingdom has that magical and iconic feel that makes every person feel like a kid again, Epcot just has this feeling I can’t describe but love so much.  If I hadContinue reading “My Favorite Things – Epcot”
