Around the world in an afternoon - thanks Epcot!

 Our last official day in Florida was spent at Epcot which is one of the 4 Disney Parks in the Disney World park collection.
Epcot was fantastic and is more of a Disneyland experience for adults. The park included a large amount of "futuristic" type showcases including a space and energy tour, a simulated launch into space (Mars to be exact), fast cars and a technology motion tour and expedition which was fantastic!

The other section of the Epcot Park is the "World Showcase" which includes miniature travel destinations within the same park. This included Mexico, Norway, Germany, Morocco, Italy, China, Japan, the U.K, France, America (in America - strange) and Canada! So we shopped in Mexico, had lunch in Italy (which was the best food I have ever had in my LIFE!), saw the Eiffel tower in France, and two toilet stops one in Japan and one in the UK - all in one day!
This was a fantastic experience, and I can say that Walt Disney did a wonderful job in capturing the look, feel and atmosphere of each destination in bringing a sense of each place to one location! I can say, that after our lunch in "Italy" we have the urge to travel to Europe in the not so distant future - the travel blogs may continue!!
