Something super exciting happened in EPCOT today!

EPCOT
We’re not talking about the menu changes we just saw or the changes that happened in the parks this past week. With EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts right around the corner, we spotted what our reporter called a “chef parade” happening in EPCOT today!
While we were walking around EPCOT today, we spotted chefs touring the World Showcase for the upcoming festival!
