Is Epcot worth it 2023?

When it comes to attractions, Epcot will have more to do in 2023 than it did in the last few years. Plus, Epcot has better atmosphere and food options than any other park at Walt Disney World, which is especially true and important as the phased reopening continues.

If you're looking for the best Disney park between EPCOT vs Hollywood Studios, we would have to say EPCOT has the edge.
