Travel the world in less than a day at Epcot

Hard to believe there was a book called "Around the World in 80 Days" and I made it around the world in only a day. My girlfriend and I spent the day touring throughout Epcot in Orlando and had quite a good time there. There were some letdowns but we still were able to spend much time enjoying ourselves

There is so much to see and do there that it is hard to decide where to start. We decided to begin with the World Showcase. We were hungry and stopped at the FranceBakery for a quick snack. This was a disappointment as the food wasn't good, was overpriced, and the people were rude. Wait this is actually quite authentic to Paris! Ahhh the memories!

Epcot is great for walking just try not to go on a very hot day! We spent the rest of the day wandering the park and checking out everything. Eventually we got hungry and decided that we wanted German food.

One thing to keep in mind is that you need to get a reservation for dinner or you might be turned away with a empty belly. We were able to get a late reservation and enjoyed a hearty meal there. The pastries and setting were my favorite parts of the meal.

Now for the best part of our visit to Epcot....
A little suspense....
We wandered in to a store in Japan and my girlfriend screamed. Her favorite childhood toy - the Monchichi - was for sale there. I was able to make her day and win some brownie points by buying her a new Monchichi!

This made her day which of course then made my day!

Thank you Epcot!
