How to get a break from the EPCOT crowds

Introversion Insight:

A crowded, lively place is exciting and energizing for some. But for introverts, it can be exhausting. These places actually drain an introvert’s mental energy. This is where recharging comes in.

You’ve just spent half the day at EPCOT, traveling the world (showcase) no doubt. It’s probably crowded and loud—I’m looking at you, The Land pavilion. You’ve discovered EPCOT is probably your favorite park because it’s basically designed for introverts (but more on that another time.) As much as you enjoy it, you’re mentally tired. You need a recharge like a well-used ECV at the end of a day.

Make like CC Bloom in the movie Beaches and head to the boardwalk—Disney’s BoardWalk. Between the France and United Kingdom pavilions, you’ll find a park exit (and entrance) called International Gateway. Go through the gateway to find Disney’s BoardWalk area. A quiet and recharging walking loop awaits you. (You’ll find benches along the boardwalk too.) Heading clockwise, you’ll pass Disney’s BoardWalk Inn, Yacht Club Resort, Beach Club Resort, and finally your re-entry point for EPCOT, the International Gateway. You’ll be refreshed and ready to build an ugly-looking concept car on Test Track!
