Epcot (stylized as EPCOT) is the second of the four theme parks in Walt Disney World located in Bay Lake, Florida, opening as EPCOT Center on October 1, 1982 (the resort's eleventh anniversary). Named after Walt Disney's idea for a planned community that never materialized called the "Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow", it is divided between four themed lands called "neighborhoods", with three on the northern half (World Celebration, World Discovery, and World Nature, all divided from the former Future World, which focused on technological innovation), and one on the southern half (World Showcase):

• World Celebration, described by Disney officials as the home of "new experiences that connect us to one another and the world around us", encompasses the central spire and south portions of the former Future World, including the entrance area, Spaceship Earth, the former Innoventions Plaza, the Imagination! pavilion, and the Odyssey events pavilion.
• World Discovery replaced Future World East and is the home of Epcot's thrill rides, Test Track, Mission: Space, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind (replacing Universe of Energy), and the planned Play! pavilion (replacing Wonders of Life, which closed in 2007 and was Epcot's Festival Center from that year until 2018).
• World Nature replaced Future World West and has a focus on the beauty and preservation of nature, with pavilions The Land and The Seas with Nemo & Friends (formerly The Living Seas from 1986 to 2006) along with a Moana-themed walkthrough attraction, Journey of Water.
• World Showcase celebrates international culture through eleven pavilions themed after different nations.

Spaceship Earth, the park's icon, is a large geodesic sphere that is also an attraction. The park also has an unofficial mascot named Figment, a purple dragon who represents the Imagination! pavilion.
