Epcot, the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, opened in 1982. It was conceived by Walt Disney to "take its cue from the new ideas and new technologies that are now emerging from the creative centers of American industry." This concept is best exemplified by Spaceship Earth, the glistening geosphere that has become Epcot's icon.

Epcot consists of two themed areas, Future World and World Showcase. Future World features attractions that focus on energy, communication, health, the land and our environment, the ocean, imagination, transportation and space exploration. "Spaceship Earth" traces the history of communication as it evolved over the centuries. The "Universe of Energy" humorously transports you back to prehistoric times to find the origin of energy as we know it today.

At the "Wonders of Life", you can find yourself in a fast paced race inside the human body when you're miniaturized for your journey in "Body Wars." At "Cranium Command", you'll be treated to a comical look into the workings of the mind. "Making of Me" is a sensitively portrayed film of birth. Over at "The Land" Timon, Pumba and Simba are your hosts at the "Circle of Life" film that deals with the environment. The "Living With The Land" boat ride takes you on a fascinating tour of greenhouses and fish-production. "Food Rocks" has a cast of animatronic Kitchen Karacters who will rock you while you learn about nutrition.

The "Living Seas" is a 5.7 million gallon aquarium that is home to thousands of fish including sharks, sea turtles and dolphins. There's a separate viewing area for those gentle giants, the Manatees. At "Imagination!" you can take a fun filled look at the senses on your "Journey Into Imagination With Figment". The terrific 3-D film "Honey I Shrunk The Audience" transports you into the zany world of that loveable professor Wayne Szalinski, famous for "Honey I Shrunk The Kids". Test Track" takes you on an unforgettable ride as you learn about the rigors of auto testing. "Mission Space" simulates a realistic launch into space as you and your crew pilot your capsule to Mars.

Centered around a beautiful reflective lagoon is Epcot's "World Showcase". Eleven countries are represented, each providing fascinating glimpses into their unique culture. You can sample the cuisine, shop for native wares and enjoy performances, exhibits, movies or rides that reflect the heritage of each nation. Strolling from one land to another, you'll find yourself immersed in the distinct atmosphere that each country offers.

Every evening Epcot presents "IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth". This spectacular presentation is centered around the World Showcase Lagoon where fireworks, lasers and dancing fountains combine in a choreographed display performed to an inspirational musical score.
