Minnie Mouse is one of the most loved Disney characters, but she can be difficult to find at Disney World character meals.

Epcot is a brilliant theme park and unlike any other around the world, with its mixture of epic rides in Future World and culture-packed World Showcase.

Epcot is also huge (more than twice the size of Magic Kingdom!), so you … [Read more...]
