| 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. |

New Global Neighborhood". |
