Welcome back to The Magical Park Hoppers, your trusted source for Disney travel tips, theme park talk, and magical vacation planning! In this episode, we’re diving into Walt Disney’s grand vision—EPCOT.

More than just a park, EPCOT was at the heart of Walt Disney’s original dream for what Walt Disney World could become. From the experimental city of tomorrow to a celebration of innovation and global culture, EPCOT has always held a special place in Disney history—and in our hearts.

🧠 In this episode, we explore:

• How EPCOT has evolved from Walt’s vision
• Attractions we’d enhance or reimagine
• Dining experiences
• Festivals, nighttime shows, and the park's identity in 2025 and beyond

We talk through bold ideas, fun tweaks, and what we’d change if we had the keys to the park—all while honoring the spirit of innovation, inspiration, and imagination that EPCOT stands for.

🌍 Whether you're here for Spaceship Earth nostalgia, love the International Festivals, or want to see how EPCOT can keep evolving for the next generation, this episode is packed with insider thoughts and creative park planning ideas.
