This one-of-a-kind family attraction will be one of the world’s longest enclosed roller coasters when it’s added to Future World at Epcot®. It’ll feature a unique story currently being created by Walt Disney Imagineering and include a new innovative ride system that’s guaranteed to “wow” Guests.

The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art

This museum, in Winter Park, houses the world’s largest collection of Tiffany art, was founded in 1942 and moved into its current location in 1995. The Morse has about 19,000 square feet of public space and celebrated its 75th year last year. The Tiffany chapel interior from the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition is not to be missed, and the surviving art from the Tiffany Long Island estate is equally impressive. A tour of the museum should allow at least 90 minutes, and the museum does close at 4, so the earlier you visit the better. Guided tours are available upon request, and add an interesting and educational aspect to your visit.

Mardi Gras also includes several major performers offering concerts, including Mackelmore, 311, and Foreigner.
