Epcot Experience

Epcot

Our first field trip of the year was to the Orlando theme park, Epcot. Did you know the name Epcot derives from the acronym, EPCOT (Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow)? It was one of the many interesting facts we absorbed while on our Epcot tour. Along with the fun roller coasters we rode we also explored all of Epcot's countries which is what we chose to share with you in this entry. Please take the time to browse through the pictures below and read about the interesting things we learned while visiting Epcot's countries. *The pictures can be enlarged for your viewing pleasure by simply clicking on them.*
