I was surfing around the Disney Store and came across this shirt. I was thinking of buying it and then something caught my eye and I said "SAY WHAT?!?" I know I'm not crazy but hasn't the "E" in EPCOT always been "Experimental" not "Environmental" as listed here?

Celebrate EPCOT's 30th Anniversary in style with this collectible vintage look tee featuring the original logo that launched Walt Disney's vision of the "Environmental Prototype Community of Tomorrow". (Yep, that's the acronym.)

Truth be told I think the low rating (based on the comments) is that every time Disney makes a "women's" t-shirt they run about 4 sizes too small. An XL shirt designed for a woman runs about the size of a typical medium. Never understood that one.

That could be the reason too. :p

I find that the Disney shirts from the Disney store, the 2 for $28 graphic tees anyways are true to size if not larger. I am usually an extra large, but in some rare cases I can actually go for a large in those tops. I ordered an XL in that Epcot shirt, and it fits me fine. The paint around the bust was a bit tight at first, but after stretching it out a bit its fine now, so I don't always understand the comments like that, and I never know when to trust them. I have some shirts that family has gotten me from the parks that the XLs look smaller, but I though that one was fine. Really strange about the acronym though. =/

On a more serious note, I would love love love it if WDW would rename itself/ The Land / EPCOT into the 'Environmental Community', or worked with that new acronym in some form or other.
Preferably combined with some serious, Walt-like ambition to contribute to society's progress.

Why not make EPCOT the world's greenest theme park? Something like that would be awesome, would restore dignity and pride to the park, relevance too.
