EPCOT if no one is familiar with it actually stands for 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 Disney.

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. In Disney’s opinion they were dirty and riddled with crime. So Disney started to read into all kinds of things that involved large scale city planning. Walt Disney began to plan EPCOT and just a few months before he died, produced a video explaining what he was planning with the Floridian 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 withibn the community itself. Crime would have stopped in this community.

The EPCOT project has since been turned into a massive theme park and is one of the four major parks at Disney World in 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 all in one place. This is an idea that could only really exist in a Disney theme park.

Canada itself forms part of this vast World Showcase so perhaps visiting this place before you go to Canada might be a good idea? 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.
