Epcot

Epcot, stylized as EPCOT and formerly EPCOT CENTER, is one of four theme parks located within Walt Disney World in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, USA. The name is an acronym for "Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow". The park was originally a planned city of the future as visioned at Walt Disney. However, the project was cancelled after Walt's death in December 1966, as Disney thought that it would be impossible to run a city without his guidance. In the early 70's, after Magic Kingdom opened, Disney was planning to turn Walt's dream into a second park for Walt Disney World. The park opened as EPCOT Center on October 1, 1982. In the mid-90's, the name was changed to "Epcot". The park is currently the 4th most visited theme park in North America, and the 7th most visited theme park in the world.
