Epcot is one of Walt Disney World’s 4 theme parks.  Here you will find a vision of the sensational future as well as a showcase of some of the world’s most marvelous countries.  Developed and laid out initially when Walt Disney saw how easily his two hubs fits together, Epcot showcases not only our World but how technology does and will continue to shape it.

Future World

Future World is split in half- the east and the west.  Here you will find showcases of innovative inventions at Innoventions as well as being able to visit the Land, the Seas, and even take off into space!  ”In Future World, ideas become reality!”

Spaceship Earth, the park’s flagship ride featured in the “golf ball” icon that towers over your view as you enter is located here as well.

World Showcase

World Showcase is located beyond Future World if you enter from the main entrance of the park (if you enter from the Boardwalk/Epcot resort area you enter in World Showcase itself).  Here you will be whisked away on a whirlwind tour of the splendor and distinct beauty found in 11 nations from this fabulous planet.  Where else can you start your night in the UK and end it in Japan?

The following pavilions make up World Showcase:

• American Adventure Pavilion
• Canada Pavilion
• China Pavilion
• Epcot’s Future World (East)
• Epcot’s Future World (West)

Epcot is a breathtaking spectacle of art, invention, culture, and technology! Be prepared to have your breath taken away!
