Walt Disney's EPCOT Legacy - Serious Discussion:

A guided conversation about Walt Disney's final big dream and what he would think about EPCOT today:

Topics Covered:

• Walt's original vision: EPCOT as a real functioning city with 20,000 residents, not a theme park
• Why Disney couldn't build Walt's literal city after his death in 1966
• Did Disney honor Walt's legacy or abandon it by building EPCOT Center as a theme park?
• What would Walt love about modern Epcot? (Guardians technology, Living with the Land agriculture innovation)
• What would disappoint Walt? (Loss of edutainment, IP-driven attractions replacing educational content)
• The death of "always in a state of becoming" - attractions unchanged for 20+ years
• Can modern Disney recapture Walt's spirit of innovation and optimism?
• Where does Walt's EPCOT vision live on today?

This isn't just nostalgia - it's a real examination of whether EPCOT still represents Walt's ideals of showcasing innovation, inspiring future generations, and promoting global cooperation, or if it's become just another theme park focused on IP and festivals.

Perfect for:

• EPCOT enthusiasts and fans of Disney's most unique park
• Longtime Big Mouse House listeners celebrating 25 episodes together
