What if the E.P.C.O.T. acronym stood for something else?

This week marks the 1-year anniversary of me joining the forum (June 11) and the release of Incredibles 2. With those, I wanted to have some fun with a personal project while also keeping it challenging. I wanted to see if I could take my favourite park in EPCOT, and my favourite Disney company in Pixar, and combine them into one beautiful park.

I also wanted to add on the challenge of keeping EPCOT as the name but having it’s shift in focus be reflected. Therefore, EPCOT will still be the name of the park but the acronym will change (hence the name of the post). EPCOT no longer stands for the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, but now stands for the Expanded Pixar Concept of Theming.

I’ll be honest right now and say I haven’t figured out an attraction for all 13 Pixar franchises. After seeing Incredibles 2 tonight I have figured out some attractions, but some are still left up in the air.

One thing to note, there are 13 Pixar Franchises and 16 attractions in EPCOT (15-17 depending on how you count it, plus Ratatouille and GotG on the way) so some current EPCOT attractions will stay in some degree.

Over the next few days, I will start posting general overviews of each franchise and where it is going in the park, how realistic I think the IP being in the park is, how realistic I think this specific attraction is, and anything else I feel may be important.

With that, I will be back tomorrow with the first Pixar IP implementation overview!

(Overviews will be posted in the order of how realistic I think it is for the IP to be added to the park)

IP: Pixar Shorts

Disney-and-Pixar-Short-Film-Festival_Full_26282.jpg


Location in the park: Imagination Pavilion

Attraction type: Show

Brief Attraction Description: Collection of Pixar Shorts

Re-theme? Change to an updated list of Pixar shorts

Likeliness of IP in the park: Already exists in the park

Likeliness of this attraction in the park: Also already exists for an easy first update :p

Note: This is what all the IP Overviews will look like as I go through them!

This sounds really interesting! Am curious if you'd use the Rite of Springs scene from Universe of Energy to promote The Great Dinosaur (that seems like one of the few Pixar attractions that would be tough to insert
The Good Dinosaur was the one I was stuck with the most on whether to put that in UoE or Monsters Inc.

I think I’m happy with my final decision!

Sounds intriguing! Can't wait to learn more! I'm sure TGD can also work on the Land as Arlo's family were farmers! What I'm intrigued of is what you do with A Bug's Life, I can't think of where it works!

Ants in bugs Life were also farmers. But when they had a food shortage, their single food scientist gave up on advancing farming technology to start a revolution. So maybe not a perfect fit lol


I really am excited for this project btw. Such a fun clever idea!

I was thinking Living with the Land or a Halloween crossover with Timon and Pumbaa in the old Circle of Life show where they attempt to eat the bugs

Poor Brave, it’s no one’s favorite
That makes sense. Brave was Pixar trying to make a Disney movie. But it just wound up as not having the Disney movie charm or the Pixar movie charm

Edit: I don't mean to sound too negative of Brave. I love the movie! I just mean to say that it falls into a middle ground where I can see why people wouldn't call it Pixar's best because it doesn't have the same Pixar charm. The same way you never hear people call Merida their favorite Disney princess cuz it doesn't have the Disney charm either. Not that the movie itself is bad or anything.
