EPCOT – (1982) is the abbreviation for Esperimental Phototype Community of Tomorrow (Protótipo de Comunidade Experimental do Amanhã) and in fact, it was the initial idea of Walt Disney for the Walt Disney World Resort.
In this community of Disney dreams, nations live in perfect harmony and peace, surviving from the miraculous technological development , and so EPCOT would never be out-of-date ( ultrapassado) because it is always updated(pois é sempre atualizado). The community itself has never existed, despite the recent contract of Walt Disney Co. to create a closed city, the town of Celebration.
The Epcot theme park icon, Spaceship Earth, looking like a giant golf ball rising high above the horizon, welcomes the visitors as they walk through the park's main entrance.
EPCOT worries about education and it is very well succeeded.
Epcot is divided in two parts:
FUTURE WORLD: with high-tech attractions where ideas become reality, and
WORLD SHOWCASE : this has to do with the nations of the world, separated by a big lake, a World Showcase lagoon, where every night the show “ IllumiNations Reflections of Earth” (IluniNações: Reflexos da Terra) happens with sounds, light and fireworks. The adults like this park mostly due to its shows, interesting attractions, nice restaurants and shops, which represent the culture and cuisine of these 11 countries:
- Mexico
- Norway
- China
- Germany
- Italy
- United States
- Japan
- Morocco
- France
- United Kingdom
- Canada
There's also plenty of kid-centric entertainment too like Disney Character meeting, great locations and the Kidcot fun stops. At Kidcot stations, kids can create one-of-a-kind souvenirs themselves.
At Epcot theme park, creativity is encouraged, imagination is celebrated and countries are united. Be amazed, inspired, enlightened and entertained.
