Triple the size of the Magic Kingdom, Epcot opened its doors (and many minds) in 1982. Epcot is the ultimate world’s fair, showcasing a future where technology improves our lives, the countries of the world live in peace, and dreams really can come true.

Striving to educate and inspire as well as entertain, Epcot introduces millions to new technological and international frontiers. Epcot began as Walt Disney’s dream of an “Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow;” it’s a far cry from the ordinary communities where most of us live. The first of two “worlds,” Future World greets you with its awe-inspiring, 180-foot-tall, geodesic sphere (Spaceship Earth). Streamlined structures and broad vistas transport you into the future of today’s hopes and dreams. Beyond Future World is World Showcase, offering an inspiring glimpse into faraway lands, different customs, and exotic peoples.
