Chef Gala in Epcot
We were treated by the organizers a tour in Epcot and watch some selected Chefs perform open flame demo and serve us sumptuous food.
The room was set us as an Aquarium. A long underwater like tunnel with marine species lead the way to the dining tables and in front are the make up kitchens for the Chefs.
Not too long, the cooking started and in no time, we were served graciously by their masterpieces.
Of course, Mickey was there for photo ops.

Experience Morocco at Disney World
Epcot’s World Showcase has 11 “countries” you can visit! The Moroccan pavilion is my favorite! It’s so detailed! The food and music is intoxicating! I could spend hours meandering around the Moroccan pavilion just taking in the sights,sounds and smells!
There are two delicious restaurants in the Moroccan pavilion and both are great! You can go to Spice Road Table for small plates and great mixed drinks, or check out restaurant Marrakesh for a sit down high end dining experience.
Make sure to try a Tangine Breeze from the Spice Road Table restaurant! Its a delicious ice cold, boozy beverage that will help you beat the heat!

Epcot was just as fun as Disney. The kids got to meet more characters and also got their passports stamped at the different countries. We really liked the aquarium restaurant. but make reservations in advance. Staying on the resort property is nice because you have the resort buses that take you bake and forth to the hotels. #givethanks #epcot

The future world is dominated by high-tech rides and experiences, and the super-popular projects in the park are gathered here; Window of the World is a miniature version of 11 national cultures, including Mexico, Norway, China, Germany, Italy, the United States, Japan, Morocco. In France, the United Kingdom, and Canada, each country has local specialties and many gourmet restaurants. Some countries have 180-360 degree arc-shaped movies to showcase the world, as well as wonderful street performances. Themed rides are like traveling around the country. Large flame flowers, music, water jets, and laser lasers are performed every night on the Lake of the World, which is very exciting. This park is the most popular and largest paradise in addition to Magic Kingdom, and most projects are not suitable for children under 5 years of age.
Playback Reference: Future World - Window of the World
Future World: Soarin->Living with the Land>>Mission:SPACE> Test Track> Electric Umbrella Lunch> Epcot Character Spot >The Seas with Nemo&Friends Area -> Spaceship Earth
Window of the World: Canada's counter-clockwise play
Transport: In addition to driving and Disney's shuttle, you can also take the monorail from the TCC of Magic Kingdom.

Around the world at Epcot
Of Disney World’s 4 theme parks, Epcot might be the most underrated.
Compare to Magic Kingdom the sheer size of the park makes sure it never feels uncomfortably busy and journeying around the world pavilion taking in countries such as Italy, Mexico and Japan feels like you have been transported away from central Florida to those places themselves.
The selection of rides are also high quality too from fast and fun rides such as a Guardians of the Galaxy rollercoaster and test track to more informative ones such as spaceship earth and living with land and children can be entertained by rides linked to Disney and Pixar favourites such as Frozen and ratatouille, there’s really something for everyone.
Not only this but throughout the year festivals take places such as the food and wine festival, meaning one day here might not even be enough #100waysoftravel

Orlando Disney | Epcot
When you come to the United States, you must check in at the world's first Disneyland, located in Orlando. Compared to Shanghai, it's much much much bigger and more fun!
Disney is divided into four parks: Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Epcot.
Personally, I recommend Epcot, which has many themed pavilions and a variety of international cuisine.
These are the projects that I think are a must-play when visiting Epcot!
1. Mission Space simulates liftoff.
2. "Test Track" is a game that simulates driving.
3. "Frozen Ever After" takes you into the magical world of "Frozen".~

Disney’s Cookie Stroll
A little holiday cheer and a lot of tasty treats. Can’t wait for my next chance to visit EPCOTs Festival of the Holidays. I plan on acing the cookie stroll.
Just a small part of the festivities offered at Walt Disney World throughout the holiday season. this is a low cost activity to get involved in. Pick up a cookie passport. Collect stamps as you purchase your cookies throughout the day. Then once you have collected all the stamps you can pick up your final free cookie to complete the fun. so delicious.
Fun for the whole family and allergy friendly items available at select locations.
