Great Piggy Bank Adventure opens tomorrow

"Savings and investment" concepts may not sound like very much fun, but Disney is giving it the old college try at Epcot's Innoventions in the form of The Great Piggy Bank Adventure.

The new attraction – opening tomorrow, May 19 – is presented by T. Rowe Price, a publicly owned investment firm based out of Baltimore, Maryland. The attractions is part of the company's initiative to share information about financial responsibilities with children and families.

The stated goal of The Great Piggy Bank Adventure is to inform families about saving and spending wisely, inflation, diversification of investments, and setting financial goals. This will be done through a series of interactive games in the hope that parents will continue the conversation with their children even after the fun has ended.

You can get a preview of the experience at Disney's The Great Piggy Bank Adventure website, replete with trivia cards and mini-games.

This "edutainment" attraction could not, perhaps, come at a more needed time.
