Looking To The Future (World)

If you regularly read this blog, then you’re probably aware of something: I write about EPCOT a lot. With that in mind, it’s not my intention to rehash anything here. I’ve expressed my feelings about EPCOT before (and, honestly, probably will do so again). At the same time, however, I feel like I should clarify…
