href="/wiki/Amusement_park" title="Amusement park">theme park</a> at the <a href="/wiki/Walt_Disney_World" title="Walt Disney World">Walt Disney World</a> Resort in <a href="/wiki/Bay_Lake,_Florida" title="Bay Lake, Florida">Bay Lake, Florida</a>. It is owned and operated by <a href="/wiki/The_Walt_Disney_Company" title="The Walt Disney Company">The Walt Disney Company</a> through its <a href="/wiki/Disney_Experiences" title="Disney Experiences">Disney Experiences</a> division. The park opened on October 1, 1982, as <b>EPCOT Center</b>—the second of four theme parks built at the resort. Often referred to as a "permanent <a href="/wiki/World%27s_fair" title="World's fair">world's fair</a>", EPCOT is dedicated to the celebration of <a href="/wiki/Humanities" title="Humanities">human achievement</a>, particularly technological <a href="/wiki/Innovation" title="Innovation">innovation</a> and international <a href="/wiki/Culture" title="Culture">culture</a> and is known for its iconic landmark <a href="/wiki/Spaceship_Earth_(Epcot)" title="Spaceship Earth (Epcot)">Spaceship Earth</a>, a <a href="/wiki/Geodesic_dome" title="Geodesic dome">geodesic sphere</a>. </p><p>During early development of the Florida property, <a href="/wiki/Walt_Disney" title="Walt Disney">Walt Disney</a> wanted to build an <a href="/wiki/EPCOT_(concept)" title="EPCOT (concept)">experimental planned community</a> showcasing modern innovation, known as "EPCOT", an acronym for <b>Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow</b>. After Disney's death in 1966, the company felt his grand vision was impractical. However, it laid the groundwork for EPCOT Center, a theme park that retained the core spirit of Disney's vision. The park was divided into two distinct areas: Future World reprises the idea of showcasing modern innovation through <a href="/wiki/Educational_entertainment" title="Educational entertainment">educational entertainment</a> attractions within <a href="/wiki/Avant-garde" title="Avant-garde">avant-garde</a> pavilions, while World Showcase highlights the diversity of human cultures from various nations. From the late 2010s to the early 2020s, the park underwent a major overhaul, adding new attractions and Future World was restructured into three areas: World Celebration, World Discovery and World Nature. </p><p>The park spans 305 acres (123 hectares), more than twice the size of <a href="/wiki/Magic_Kingdom" title="Magic Kingdom">Magic Kingdom Park</a>. In 2023, the park attracted 11.98 million guests, making it the eighth-most visited theme park in the world.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Epcot&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1960s:_Experimental_concept">1960s: Experimental concept</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Epcot&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: 1960s: Experimental concept"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/EPCOT_(concept)" title="EPCOT (concept)">EPCOT (concept)</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Progress_City_Model_2024_(cropped).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ed/Progress_City_Model_2024_%28cropped%29.jpg/220px-Progress_City_Model_2024_%28cropped%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="146" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ed/Progress_City_Model_2024_%28cropped%29.jpg/330px-Progress_City_Model_2024_%28cropped%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ed/Progress_City_Model_2024_%28cropped%29.jpg/440px-Progress_City_Model_2024_%28cropped%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2182" data-file-height="1447" /></a><figcaption>The remaining portion of the Progress City model, the original concept for the city of EPCOT, seen on display from the <a href="/wiki/PeopleMover_(Magic_Kingdom)" title="PeopleMover (Magic Kingdom)">PeopleMover</a> at Magic Kingdom in 2024</figcaption></figure> <p>The genesis for EPCOT was originally conceived as a <a href="/wiki/Utopia" title="Utopia">utopian</a> city of the future by <a href="/wiki/Walt_Disney" title="Walt Disney">Walt Disney</a> in the 1960s.

It will be a community of tomorrow that will never be completed but will always be introducing and testing, and demonstrating new materials and new systems. And EPCOT will always be a showcase to the world of the ingenuity and imagination of American free enterprise." </p><p>Walt Disney's original vision, sometimes called Progress City, would have been home to 20,000 residents and would be a living laboratory showcasing cutting-edge technology and <a href="/wiki/Urban_planning" title="Urban planning">urban planning</a>. It was to be built in the shape of a circle with an urban city center in the center with community buildings, schools, and recreational complexes.
