EPCOT

EPCOT - that stands for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow -is a kind of mixture of a kind of permanent world's fair and interactive science museum with diverse cultural entertainments and educational attractions. It was conceived by Walt Disney to "take its cue from the new ideas and new technologies that are now emerging from the creative centers of American industry."

Epcot is divided into two themed parks: Future World, filled with attractions that highlight technology, science and ecology, and World Showcase, where 11 countries complete with traditional architecture, cuisine, shopping and entertainment are represented.
