Starbucks Discovery Series Disney – Epcot mug is out. Like I’ve mentioned in my previous post, the circle (or sphere) on the front of the mug is blue, in contrast with other mugs from this collection.
Epcot, short for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, is a unique and visionary theme park located in Walt Disney World Resort. Opened on October 1, 1982, Epcot offers an immersive experience that celebrates the wonders of human achievement, innovation, and cultural diversity. Divided into two distinct sections, Future World and World Showcase, Epcot combines futuristic technology, thrilling attractions, and a global tapestry of pavilions representing different countries. From soaring through the skies on Soarin’ Around the World to savoring international cuisine at the World Showcase, Epcot invites visitors to explore, learn, and be inspired by the limitless possibilities of the world we live in.
Here are some of the Epcot’s points of attraction that are showcased on the mug:
