Epcot
Epcot
EPCOT, Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, Is Walt Disney World second theme park that opened in 1982. Unlike it‘s older sibling EPCOT is set up a little different. EPCOT is spread out into 4 different worlds, due to this the park doesn’t feel as crowed. From the moment you enter the park the design is just iconic. From the pentakis dodecahedron, the fancy name for the giant ball, to the massive lake surrounded by 11 beautiful country pavilions.
