Walt Disney EPCOT Presentation Film (1966)

On Oct 27, 1966, Walt Disney made this film meant to present his ideas for EPCOT and his Florida Project to the state legislature and American industry investors. When Walt made the deal to build EPCOT he had to agree to build the state of Florida their very own Disneyland. In exchange the state of Florida gave Walt's organization special rights for the property. Walt wanted these rights to build his Experimental prototype Community of Tomorrow. In this film, you can see what walt had in mind and it's VERY different from the EPCOT that was built and even more different from the EPCOT that exists today. The Reedy Creek district was exploited by Woke Disney for a city that was never built. Those privileges should have been forfeited decades ago.Show more

This film was one of two that were the final footage of Walt that was ever shot. He died from lung cancer a few weeks later. Had Walt not been an avid smoker, he may have lived to see the completion of EPCOT as he'd envisioned. This is one of the tragic lessons we can learn from his life and what the world lost from his passing.
