Episode 250: EPCOT center development problems and opening
Manage episode 405957655 series 2924434
EPCOT Center was a grand vision of Walt Disney. But the eventual park was not only not true to Walt's vision but dramatically scaled-down and over-budget from what had been planned in the 1970's.
We discuss the original plans, then the plan for 30 nations in the World Showcase and where it went wrong.
We also focus on Florida at the time, and how EPCOT became a grand project for the vision of 1970's and 1980's Florida - forward looking, progressive in terms of diversity and foreign commerce, futuristic and cutting-edge.
