Answer - Question 17

The acronym EPCOT does stand for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. Walt's original idea was not for EPCOT to be a theme park but rather a living city where new technology was showcased in every way possible. When Walt passed away the imagineers decided that they didn't want to be in the business of running a city but rather be in the entertainment business. EPCOT was then designed in its current format with the front half still showcasing new technology and the back half of the park illustrating various world cultures.
