E.P.C.O.T.

Just a quick blog post on this, because if I'm asked to talk about it during class I'll be able to go on for a long time. So as you may have noticed, the title is in all capitals with periods next to each letter, signifying an acronym! That's right, EPCOT isn't some made up word that Imagineers thought sounded cool (although Epcot is). EPCOT stands for Experimental Prototype Community (City) of Tomorrow. Walt's original plan for the Florida Project was to make not only a vacation destination, but a thriving metropolis that would be shown off to the world as they came to see the Magic Kingdom. I'll leave out details of the position of EPCOT and the actual layout of the city until we're in class, but Walt had the ideas and the resources to create his own utopia, and due to his untimely death, that vision was never realized.
