If you are a bit unsure on what the word EPCOT stands for it is Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. This idea actually originates from Walt Disney and although it has now become a very successful theme park, the park itself was not planned at all by Walt himself.
Disney saw his grandchildren and thought to himself, what is going to happen to them when they are my age, what cities are going to be like then. Of course they were already all dirty and riddled with crime. Walt Disney then started to read into everything that involved city planning. EPCOT planning started just a feew months before Walt died and he produced a video explaining what he was planning with the land he has just purchased. He wanted to build a community of all the latest technology, always being updated and never staying the same but at the time assuring safety. There would have been no crime at all in this community.
The EPCOT project is now of course a huge theme park and one of four in Walt Disney World Florida. However Walts original idea has not been dropped as the park itself is always bringing in the new technology and replacing the old with sci-fi rides and features. As well as this the World Showcase featuring eleven countries from the world attempts to bring the world together under one roof. An idea that could truly only happen in a Disney theme park.
Canada is actually part of this World Showcase and the show that is there will help people to learn about Canada? If you like it why not go on one of those Canada holidays or Canada Tours, then again if you love the idea of EPCOT then Florida holidays is what you need.
