LP Lotion: The Great Piggy Bank Adventure at Epcot
Page 1 of 6

The Great Piggy Bank Adventure  is a venture between Disney and T. Rowe Price, a partnership that began when Disney approached the investment company 4 years ago with the idea of bringing guests an edutainment experience teaching fiscal responsibility. It is a fun, interactive game that really can be a shared experience with friends and family.  The idea of the attraction is to set a goal - there are 4 goals to choose from: retirement, a new bedroom, education goals or a vacation. Once a goal is chosen, the guest receives a piggy bank to carry from game to game, learning about saving, investment, and diversifying.   My favorite of the computer generated games consists of  moving coins around various areas of a bedroom to hide them.  Each of these areas (one is under a bed, another would be in a drawer) has a multiplier saying how much that area is worth (like 2x or 5x the money).  Naturally one would rather have 5x the money than 2x, but that is the point of diversifying. The trick here is that the wolf (who is in all of the games) comes and will take money from a couple of the areas.  If you put all of your coins in one place and the wolf finds it, you’d be out of luck - and money.
