Epcot

Epcot (stylized in capital letters as EPCOT) is a theme park at Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida. Epcot is owned and operated by the Walt Disney Company through its Disney Experiences division. The park opened on October 1, 1982, as EPCOT Center—the second of four theme parks built at the resort. Often referred to as a "permanent world's fair", Epcot is dedicated to the celebration of human achievement, particularly technological innovation and international culture. Epcot is also known for its iconic landmark, Spaceship Earth, a geodesic sphere. The EPCOT name originated as an acronym for Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow, envisioned by Walt Disney during early development of the Florida property. After Disney's death in 1966, the company felt his grand vision was impractical. However, it laid the groundwork for EPCOT Center, a theme park that retained the core spirit of Disney's vision. The park was divided into two distinct areas: Future World reprises the idea of showcasing modern innovation through educational entertainment attractions within avant-garde pavilions, while World Showcase highlights the diversity of human cultures from various nations. From the late 2010s to the early 2020s, the park underwent a major overhaul, adding new attractions and Future World was restructured into three areas: World Celebration, World Discovery and World Nature
