Epcot “dining guide” using Pinterest place pins

A few months ago, Pinterest released a new feature allowing users to associate locations with their pins. These locations are then displayed on a map.  What is nice is you can access it on the go with a smartphone.  So, the travel agent in me thought it might be helpful for travelers who are less familiar with the parks to have a quick reference which shows the location, a photo relevant to the venue, and a link more information.  So far I’ve created 3 boards, and as time allows will create more.  They are: Guide to Epcot Dining, Guide to Disneyland dining, and Walt Disney World resorts.

——————–  How the board looks from a computer ——————–

  • Map on right side of screen
  • Restaurant descriptions on left side of screen
  • Hover over the map to see the corresponding description, or hover or the description to see its location on the map.
