Early Morning Magic Hours?
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.

Best Job in Disney World...or the Worst?

I ventured back to Karamell Kuche in Epcot's Germany pavilion recently to pick up some caramel corn. As I was waiting in line I watched one of the cast members there dipping strawberries into the chocolate. I thought to myself: "That must be the best job in the world." I mean it's like working in a rainbow factory or being a unicorn handler. What could be better than spending the day manufacturing pure wonder.

Tutto Italia Review

No one ever seems to have much nice to say about Tutto Italia Ristorante in Epcot's World Showcase. Since no one ever says anything nice about me either, I thought we might be kindred spirits. I'd never been before, and with my expectations set nice and low we headed to Italy.
