The Disney Epcot Centre Florida location is striking with the large golf ball dominating the skyline and the excitement beckoning of a visit to the lands of the earth. Disney Epcot Centre is comprised of two separate areas, the World Showcase and Future World.
Future World concentrates on the sciences, communications, energy, travel and automotive use and very topical subjects such as the environment and application of technologies. Whilst these may remind you of a school education they are presented in a Disney theme park atmosphere and you are left to think if only all learning could be delivered in this way.
The Disney World Showcase location is comprised of eleven interconnected areas which give an overview of different countries on the planet. In each of these country areas you can experience the architecture and history of the region and sample of their cuisine. The countries form a semicircle around the lake and you can travel from one to the other either on foot or via a brief boat ride.
Obviously you will want to plan your journey ahead of time and using Google Earth to give you a quick overview of the Disney Epcot Centre location will give you the best opportunity to have a really enjoyable trip.
