Epcot was one of Walt Disney's original visions. Originally standing for the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, it was actually intended to be much more of the basis for Walt Disney World than the Magic Kingdom. Eventually however his initial vision proved too grand to be carried out and it became the less expansive park that you see today.

Romance in Epcot's France

Paris, the city of lights, a romantic retreat from the ordinary. I love Epcot's France any time of day, but at nights the beauty and romance of it twinkles and shines. It's the perfect Disney Date Night at Epcot in Walt Disney World. You can stroll through the manicured garden, visit exquisite shops, and watch street performers with their daring feats of acrobatics.

Fabulous Spots To Snack in Epcot

Walt Disney World's Epcot Theme Park is know far and wide for its stellar food and beverage choices. With dozens of snacking and dining locations that represent a board variety of world flavors one could easily make the argument that this Park runs on food. Whenever my family heads to Epcot, we don't often make reservations, instead we celebrate a tradition of simply snacking our way through the Park. Everyone has their own favorite stops, but I thought I would share my three favorites with you.
