A Walt Disney World monorail train glides above visitors heading to a huge geodesic sphere called Spaceship Earth that is the symbol of Epcot, one of four theme parks within the world-famous Disney amusement complex near Orlando in Florida, USA. Epcot is an acronym for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow and was originally planned to be a utopian city. However, it has evolved into two themed areas: Future World, showcasing science and technology, and World Showcase, featuring the lifestyles of 11 different countries. Since opening in 1971, Disney World has become an American icon.
