History

Historical Context

After Walt Disney’s 1966 vision of an Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow was reshaped into EPCOT Center, the park opened on October 1 1982 with a $1.5 billion budget and welcomed millions of guests. Decades of updates kept the “permanent world’s fair” relevant, and Disney now extends that legacy by commissioning a Disney+ “Spaceship Earth” series with writer Jason Fuchs and director Lee Toland Krieger.
