Disney is ready to celebrate the next generation of immersive storytelling. Walt Disney World’s Park, EPCOT, embodies the idea of everlasting growth. The name is actually an acronym that stands for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. Walt Disney’s dream was to create an environment like no other. His plans were to create this ideal place in Florida, where it could become a solution for problems in cities. “The central core would be the commercial center. Radiating out from it would be strips of residences, with vast green spaces in between for recreation, schools, and similar facilities,” D23 writes.

Although Walt Disney passed away before Walt Disney World ever opened, his visions still very much stay alive. EPCOT was a huge undertaking for The Walt Disney Company, costing nearly $1 billion. Although the land was never created into an experimental community, Future World and World Showcase emerged thanks to the hard work of Disney Imagineers. Since its opening in 1982, the theme Park has become one of the most unique experiences for Guests. With Walt’s ideas still at the core, EPCOT is a place where future ideas meet excitement and act as a creative center.
