Although Epcot is more for the adults, it is one of Walt Disney World’s most unique theme parks. This Disney attraction is both fun and educational, with pavilions that celebrate global food and cultures.

At Epcot in Orlando, you’ll also find typical amusement park attractions with a futuristic twist. There are Epcot rides featuring your favorite Disney characters as well.

From great food to interactive exhibits, Epcot has it all. Check out these fun spots before you leave the park!
