EPCOT Center - 25 Years Later


Just over 25 years ago the world was introduced to EPCOT Center. EPCOT was an acronym fro Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. It’s funny that 25 years ago it seemed like such a strange name; almost like it would never catch on. Now, the park is just named “Epcot” as a word and not an acronym. I wonder if kids today know that “Epcot” used to stand for something and is not just a “word” the Disney folks made up?

The name is not the only thing that’s changed at Epcot over the past 25 years. Over the coming months, in a nod to Epcot’s 25th anniversary, I’ll post some of my favorite memories of Epcot of the past.
