Epcot has been my favorite Disney World park for quite a while now, but what I've always found more fascinating than the park is it's backstory, and how when it was first conceptualized, wasn't even meant to be a theme park.

This tribute video traces back the idea to Walt Disney, then follows it's evolution from a functional city into an experimental theme park, all the way up to it's grand opening and throughout the subsequent additions it saw over the ensuing decade. Leaving us with what EPCOT Center was by the early 90's.
