They even promise Figment will be featured, (and you know how we feel about that adorable purple dragon)! The podcast promises all of the fun from the celebration without even needing a park ticket! The only thing this podcast can’t do, is bring back all the limited edition merch that was snapped up by resellers.

EPCOT is one of Disney’s most unique parks and the story of the park is nothing short of fascinating. fascinating. From a burgeoning Utopia, to a permanent World’s Fair, this park has never stopped evolving! You can check out the podcast at D23.com or  YouTube.com/DisneyD23
