An acronym for 'Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow,' Epcot was Disney's vision of a high-tech city when it opened in 1982. It's divided into two halves: Future World , with rides and corporate-sponsored interactive exhibits, and World Showcase , providing an interesting toe-dip into the cultures of 11 countries. Epcot is much more soothingly low-key than other parks, and it has some of the best food and shopping. Don't miss Soarin' and, for little ones, Turtle Talk with Crush is delightful.
