The original name for the Disney
park that's now known as "
Epcot". The "
EPCOT Center" name was used from the day the park opened in
1982 up until around 1994. The old name is occasionally used again on retro-themed merchandise and by some news outlets.
The reason behind the name change is unknown, and fans tend to be divided over whether it was for the better or worse.
"Hey! Do you
wanna go to
EPCOT Center?"
"Actually it's just called "
Epcot" now."
"...well,
alright."
