Epcot originally EPCOT Center, for Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow opened its futuristic gates on October 1, 1982. The original park cost around $1 billion to construct. It isn't even called Epcot Center anymore, but I sometimes call it that because I am quite maudlin. The park is divided into two sections: Future World and World Showcase, the former containing pavilions demonstrating various facets of future and present life, and the latter with many countries' cultures represented. Throughout the years, Epcot has evolved into one of the most informative, yet entertaining parks in The World. Florida Disney World

Walt Disney's "Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow"
Welcome to Epcot!
Epcot,which opened in October 1982 is a fantastic theme park and is more than twice the size of the
Magic Kingdom! It has a strong educational and environmental message, as well as the amazing "Illuminations: Reflections of Earth" firework extravaganza.
Epcot is more than likely to need a 2 day visit, and although it is by far the most Adult of the four theme parks, there is something to do for the whole family.
