A D23 Expo New Experiences Reveal For Epcot
Admitedly, it is difficult to choose one park for me to call my favorite. The Disney Parks have something for eveyrone and I find something in each of them that I call my favorite. Nevertheless, Epcot relives our traveling adventures. It also gets my STEM oriented child day dreaming and well, can you say Food and Wine? I will ride Test Track over and over again and pretend to speak French in France as I much on something absolutely delicious from the pastry shop. While other parks have been getting new rides and experiences, I have been happy loving good old Epcot. Now, we are set for some major pixie dust coming to the park. And no, don’t worry, the festivals are staying.
