When you enter EPCOT Center, you step into the world of the possible. Inspired by Walt Disney’s dream of an “Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow,” EPCOT Center is an unprecedented celebration of human ingenuity and achievement.

This 250-acre “entertainment world” has two themed areas: Future World and World Showcase.

Future World examines the challenges and potentials of life in the 21st Century. You’ll explore our energy frontiers ... try out prototype communications systems ... see plants growing without soil ... watch scientists at work in an undersea environment ... and take a bold new look at topics vital to our future.

A steady stream of “FriendShips” traverse the shimmering World Showcase Lagoon, taking guests to the countries of World Showcase, a “Community of Nations.” You’ll see famous landmarks, sample authentic cuisine, and marvel at the entertainment, arts, and architecture of ten countries from around the world. In a true people-to-people exchange, young adults from World Showcase countries host the pavilions.

And throughout EPCOT Center, you’ll find festive live entertainment, including music, parades, outdoor theater shows, mimes, and more!

Since October 1, 1982, millions of people from around the world have experienced the wonders of EPCOT Center – a permanent source of happiness, hope and inspiration.
