Terrific Tuesdays: Epcot’s Italy Pavilion

The Italy pavilion is one of my favorite places to visit at Epcot.  The Venice replicated architecture alone is exquisite.  Gorgeous bridges, gondolas and fountains adorn the pavilion, as well as the beautiful gardens spread throughout.  There are no rides or major attractions found in the Italy pavilion other than the daily street performers and the occasional meet and greet with Pinocchio, it is truly a place for romance, peace and rest.
