-Not only is EPCOT an epic theme park--it also boasts an incredible aquarium! The SeaBase Aquarium, located in The Seas with Nemo and Friends, is the second largest aquarium in the United States. It's so big that you could fit the entire Spaceship Earth attraction inside it!

-Hidden in the Japan Pavilion is a Toro Lantern that was gifted to Roy Disney by the Emperor of Japan in honor of the opening of Magic Kingdom. Hundreds of thousands of guests pass it daily without realizing the significance of the gift giver!

-Hungry for some authentic pizza? At Via Napoli in the Italian Pavilion, water, flour, and tomatoes are imported straight from Italy to make your pizza as authentic as possible. The pizza is also cooked in one of three large wood-fire ovens that are designed and named after the three active volcanoes in Italy: Mount Stromboli, Mount Vesuvius, and Mount Etna!

This is the ultimate EPCOT experience that would surprise even Walt himself.
