Theme Parks - #8
Monday, April 7th
8. Body Wars, Epcot, Walt Disney World
Opened: 1989. Closed: 2007.
The second Florida theme park I visited as a child was Epcot. When I was 7, as a Christmas present to our family, my grandparents took us all to the theme park of my choice. Anyone who has been to Epcot will at this point wonder what seven year old in their right mind, given their choice of all Orlando theme parks, would choose a trip to Epcot. The basic answer is that my family tricked me into thinking it was going to be cool. Let me tell you, Epcot was talked up like a stinking trip to Europe itself. You get to visit so many countries! And explore them! Yay!
