We love visiting Epcot for many reasons. Some of our favorite attractions at Walt Disney World are located in Epcot, and for the most part it's the one park where you don't feel overwhelmed by crowds (even if it IS crowded).

A Self-Indulgent Snack At The Via Napoli Donkey Cart

Take Some Time to Explore Epcot's Italy Pavilion

The Italy Pavilion has always been a favorite place to spend some time exploring during any trip to Epcot. Perhaps it's because the pavilion is as close as I'm getting to Venice any time soon.

The pavilion is, after all, modeled after St. Mark's Square in Venice, complete with a replica of Venice's fourteenth century Doge's Palace and the Campanile di San Marco (the bell tower of St. Mark).

Aqua Fresca at Epcot's Via Napoli

We cover a lot of bars, lounges and cocktails here on Walt Disney World for Grown Ups, but drinking at Disney can be an adventure even for those who don't imbibe in alcohol too. In the past I've covered a few fun mocktails on the Disney Bar Menu, and Le Few's Brew in the New Fantasyland.

Lou Mongello at WDW Radio shares a review of the new Wild Africa Trek.

Main Street Gazette takes an amazing look at the posters in the waiting area for "It's Tough to Be A Bug." I had never noticed these before but will definitely take a look the next time I'm there.
