Epcot is turning 40! Let’s take a look at the special food and beverages you can enjoy as part of the celebration.
Epcot 40
On October 1, 1982, Card Walker dedicated the second park in Walt Disney World, saying, “May EPCOT Center entertain, inform, and inspire, and above all may it instill a new sense of belief and pride in man’s ability to shape a world that offers hope to people everywhere in the world.” Since then, EPCOT has invited guests to journey around the world, the depths of the sea, and to galaxies beyond belief!
With EPCOT’s anniversary celebration drawing even closer, excitement is building for the big day. A special D23 Gold Member event sold out within the hour tickets were available! You can also take a look at the merchandise options HERE.
Now let’s take a look at something that Epcot is known for: the food!
