Welcome to the October 2022 episode of The Great British Mickey Waffle. This month we are raising a glass to celebrate the 40th birthday of one of our favourite parks.  Whether you think of it as EPCOT Center, Epcot, or just ‘that park with the big golf ball’, there really is nowhere else like it. Becca takes us back to the park’s opening on 1 October 1982.  It was very different from Walt’s original vision of the ‘Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow’, but there were already some attractions in place which we still enjoy today.  Any guesses on which ones?  And how ..read more

The team this month are chatting about something different - a trip to a treasure on the west coast of the USA - San Francisco! It’s a place that a number of the team have either considered, or even had a trip booked and planned (thanks COVID!), but this seemed to be a great time to review what’s on offer in this diverse and exciting city and the surrounding area.
