EPCOT stood for (and still stands for): Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. Walt Disney was fascinated with the idea of technology of innovation, so his dream was to build an actually city, government and all, in Orlando, Florida. It would have all the newest technology, including the monorail (which is now used all over Walt Disney World). Walt especially loved this idea because it would "never be completed," in his words. He came up with this idea near the end of his life, because he looked at his children and grandchildren and wondered what kind of a city they would live in. Dissatisfied with the way cities were in that time, he wanted to make a clean, efficient city. This was the inspiration for EPCOT. Although it turned out to be an amusement park and not a city, a lot of his ideas still came showed up in the park, which was opened in 1982, well after Walt Disney's death.
