EPCOT opened in 1982 as a sort of permanent World’s Fair, with rides about the history of science and technology, exhibits about exciting new tech, and a cluster of pavilions that exposed guests to the cultures of various foreign countries. In time Disney World’s collection of theme parks grew to four. The plan was always for Disney World to be much more than a theme park, though, and although Walt Disney’s attempt at utopian urban design never came to fruition, his company’s Florida resort grew rapidly throughout the late 20th century. The Magic Kingdom was a beefed up take on the original Disneyland, with many of the same attractions and themed areas spread throughout a much larger park with a bigger castle at its center. When Disney World opened in 1972, it was home to exactly one theme park.
