You will embark on a fascinating journey that tells the story of how Walt Disney’s desire to improve the world’s future led to the development of Epcot theme park. When Walt Disney bought 27,500 acres of land in Florida, his dream was to build an Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, which he called EPCOT. EPCOT was originally intended to be a living, breathing city of the future inhabited by thousands of permanent residents. EPCOT Center, eventually to be known as Epcot theme park, was the planned entertainment center of the community.

A stay in Florida isn’t complete without a trip to Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. Just east of many popular Orlando, Florida vacation destinations and theme parks, NASA’s launch headquarters is the only place on Earth where you can tour launch areas, see giant rockets, and train in spaceflight simulators. The Space Shuttle Atlantis found a new home at the Kennedy Space Center. The new 90,000-square-foot interactive Atlantis exhibit will tell the story of the 30-year Space Shuttle Program and what lies ahead in space exploration.
During this approximately three-hour guided tour, venture into secret backstage areas of Epcot theme park and see amazing facilities that guests are ordinarily not permitted to visit. Discover how Walt Disney’s vision and legacy inspired the design and technology behind the Future World area of Epcot theme park.
You will enjoy a guided 90-minute tour of the Kennedy Space Center including a stop at Kennedy Space Center’s Vehicle Assembly Building. After, explore the property on a self-guided tour through exhibits, time permitting.
Afterwards, you are invited to enjoy EPCOT on your own.
