Fun facts

  • Originally called EPCOT Center, inspired by Walt Disney's vision for an Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow — a functioning city, not a theme park.
  • Spaceship Earth's geodesic sphere weighs roughly 16 million pounds and is held aloft by six legs buried in the ground, not the visible supports.
  • World Showcase pavilions were built with materials sourced from or crafted by artisans in each country they represent.
  • EPCOT's annual International Food & Wine Festival is one of the longest-running culinary events in the theme park industry.
  • Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is one of the longest enclosed coasters in the world and features the first reverse launch on a Disney coaster.
