EPCOT
We’ve been stopping into the parks to make sure you’re up to date on ALL the latest changes as soon as they happen. Now, we’re bringing you an update on all the recent news in food, construction, and merchandise in EPCOT!

We’ve already put ourselves through the torturous decisions of ranking the Magic Kingdom lands by snacks AND ranking the lands in Animal Kingdom by their snacks. Whew.
