"To all who come to this place of Joy, Hope and Friendship - Welcome.

EPCOT is inspired by Walt Disney's creative vision. 

Here, human achievements are celebrated through imagination, wonders of 

enterprise and concepts of a future that promises new and 

exciting benefits for all.

May EPCOT Center entertain, inform and inspire and above all, 

may it instill a new sense of belief and pride in man's ability to 

shape a world that offers hope to people everywhere."

-- Card Walker, Disney Chairman and CEO, at Epcot Center's dedication on October 24, 1982.
