I was passing through the French pavilion at EPCOT a few weeks ago and saw this sticker clinging to a wrought iron fence like a mini-sign advertising… um, pork? bacon? Nope, it’s a game!

With the help of Google, I’ve discovered that The Great Piggy Bank Adventure is a financial literacy program presented by Disney in partnership with T. Rowe Price. There’s an attraction at the Innoventions section of EPCOT, and there’s also an online game that kids can play. Check it out when you’ve got a few minutes, it’s fun!

    Is it a tax write-off or a sponsorship or just for education? Very interesting “attraction”, and of course, you would notice it because you see it all. How many millions have not paid attention as you have?

    Gayle, T Rowe Price is a sponsor. Attractions in the FutureWorld / Innoventions section of EPCOT are typically sponsored by whomever it is that’s displaying a new technology or learning experience. It’s not unusual to see companies like IBM, AT&T or Siemens represented there.
