I’m continuing my itinerary tips series with Epcot! Itineraries at Epcot are a little different because you have two distinct areas to visit: Future World and World Showcase. Future World is more ride-heavy whereas World Showcase is more suited for wandering. World Showcase also doesn’t open until 11am, so I like to use the morning to hit the Future World rides and then spend the rest of the day at World Showcase. Read more

I was wearing my Cleveland Browns jersey and the lady who was serving us asked if we were from Ohio. I said yes and told her where. She smiled as she placed the gigantic roll on the plate. “So am I, would you like some sauce”? “Of course” I said with a laugh. She began to take both spatulas and gather up what had to be a pint of caramel heaven between them. She then poured it on top of our roll! She handed it to me and said “I always love when fellow buckeyes come through here”. We sat down with two forks and began to enjoy our breakfast while watching the people pass by the window.
