For those of us who aren't able to watch the transformation of EPCOT into the new 21st century version EPCOT live, we can at least get a hilarious ode to the classics. It's also fun to buy designs that you can't find in the Northwest Mercantile!
The park's name, Epcot, was previously an acronym for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, a utopian city of the future planned by Walt Disney, often interchanging "city" and "community."
When you're thinking about EPCOT, it's important to respect the size of this park! It's huge! Just to walk around the World Showcase lagoon is 1.3 miles!
EPCOT is filled with details that allow guests to escape reality and take a wander through a theme park that spans over 300 acres! From attractions designed to make you think to experiences that will grow your understanding of the world...this is a Disney Park that will really open your eyes to the skill of Disney Imagineering.
There are a ton of great insights into the construction, creation and ideas that went into the original Living Seas pavilion, but so many folks visit the attraction and don't know what to look for. It's my goal to give a few fun facts to allow for guests to enjoy this ride even more!
