EPCOT
Park Background:
Epcot has to be one of my all-time favorite parks to visit. Not only does it feature rides like Seas With Nemo and Friends that, might I mention, bring you through their own personal aquarium after you depart, but Epcot arguably is most famous for their World Showcase. The World showcase brings you into the different regions throughout the world and introduces you to new experiences with culture and the best part... All of the yummy food you can find along the way. Epcot is most definitely the park to visit, it's such a relaxing atmosphere and just an overall fun experience traveling to places like Japan, Mexico, France, and many more!
