Disney’s Bustling City
There’s no doubt about the fact that Epcot is very different from the rest of the parks within the Disney World Resort. It’s more innovative, it’s more real, and it seems as though it’s something that really took a lot of thought and effort.
While it now gives guests the chance to look at the World’s Fair and all of the other delights that Epcot has to offer, many don’t know the real reason behind this park. When Walt Disney was designing this park – what he called the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow – his idea was to use Epcot as a base for “The Florida Project.”
This was a project he had in his mind that would allow him to create his own little community of 20,000 people that would be a complete utopia. While Walt knew exactly what he was doing, he didn’t live long enough to see this community project through.
