The goal for EPCOT was to drink and eat around the world! LOL
Ramon had heard a lot of talk about EPCOT and the challenge so curiosity took the reigns & said "challenge accepted"! Did we make it? Sort off... Our visit this was the sunniest & hottest day of our trip. Cold food & beverages would get warm in a matter of 5 minutes and lukewarm drinks are not the business! We were having to constantly drink water, take breaks, look for shade, or AC areas because of he heat.
The other goal for EPCOT was to get on the new ride Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, and I did! BEST RIDE EVER!!!
We would have paid money(Lightning Lane) to go on a second time but they were only doing the Virtual Queue during our trip. That's how I was able to score our spots for the ride, I woke up at 6:45am to be ready 7am on the app pushing that refresh button (IYKYK). The only ride I didn't get us on that I wanted him to check out was Frozen Ever After ride. Next time!
During our visit EPCOT had the International Flower & Garden Festival going on. They had topiary displays throughout the park in all types of shapes and Disney characters! They also have limited food items that go with the International Flower & Garden Festival.

We ordered TGI Fridays through Uber Eats. We were exhausted to go anywhere and by the time we got to our hotel the food was arriving. It also helped that our room was near an Uber/Lyft Pick Up-Drop off Area.
