Why Epcot Is The Best Spot

Everyone may think that Magic Kingdom is the place to be, but Epcot truly takes the cake.

Magic Kingdom is literally the worst.


It's great and all, but the amount of people that are constantly there is obscene. You can't breathe, you can't move, you can't think. I swear I lost myself a few times... Granted, the entire park is incredible! I'd want to go on every single ride and meet every single character, but in order to do that, I'd have to go every day for about three weeks straight. I suppose I have a bit of claustrophobia, but, I don't know, that park just isn't for me.

Then we have Epcot. Now, I think this is the most underrated park in Walt Disney World. Especially during the Flower and Garden festival, this park is astonishingly beautiful to walk around in. The manicured lawns, the big ball in the center, and all of the world showcases are absolutely incredible.

There is always something to do when you visit Epcot. Take Test Track - you design a crazy fast car by Chevrolet and then run through a simulation of a new car being tested before it's released to the consumer. Or go ride Mission: Space - a simulator that takes you and four others through a lift off into space on a mission to Mars and makes you feel G forces as you lift off and land. And who could forget the World Showcase, where you can visit multiple countries in one night and experience a bit of each of their cultures! During my trip, we visited Mexico, France, and Canada - places I probably won't have the luxury of going for quite some time. Safe to say there is no lack of things to do at Epcot, but the best part is the smaller amount of foot traffic.

Hollywood Studios really took me by surprise, though. We stepped foot onto the property and I couldn't imagine being anywhere else for the day. The scenery was spot-on, the costumes for each role fit perfectly, and the size of the park was so much easier to manage. I didn't feel overwhelmed by the amount of things I could do, and we leisurely made our way through the park, stopping to purchase the coolest sets of figurines from quite a few Disney movies. We made our way over to the Rockin' Rollercoaster but it was, unfortunately, down so we didn't manage to get on that one. We did, however, experience the Tower of Terror and I honestly think my heart dropped out of my chest. My boyfriend's hand is probably broken in multiple places after I squeezed it harder than I ever have before. All in all, Hollywood Studios gave us memories that we will never forget and pictures that will forever be kept.

I haven't made it to Animal Kingdom just yet, but, as for the other three, I think there's a clear winner.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
