The Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow ( EPCOT ) you see in WDW today is not quite Walt ’ s original vision . But the park still transports you to the future and celebrates the people , tastes , and sights of countries from around the world .
When at EPCOT , talk about what ideas your kids can imagine for Disney . What would be in their ideal community of tomorrow ?
“ That ’ s what we storytellers do . We restore order with imagination . We instill hope again and again and again .”
Walt was a storyteller , an inventor , the “ Chief Imagineer .” He was always imagining what comes next .
Walk through his story with your kids at Walt Disney Presents in Hollywood Studios .
The exhibit starts with Walt as a little boy daydreaming in a Midwestern schoolhouse . It takes you all the way to present day with the creation of Shanghai Disneyland . The detailed models of the parks and new lands are exciting to explore .
“ A family park where parents and children could have fun — together .”
Despite his busy schedule , Walt always made time for “ Daddy ’ s Day ” with his girls . On one of those days , Walt decided he wanted to build a place that was fun for children and adults alike .
All around WDW , you can find photos of Walt and his family having fun . One of my favorites is at the Voyageurs ’ Lounge at the Riviera Resort , which features a variety of Walt memorabilia .
The hallways around the lounge also feature fun photos of Walt . See if you can spot the one of Walt with penguins .
