Center of Property

[DONALDisMYhero]

The last time I visited Epcot, I was told that the center of the WDW Resort was located near the fountain behind SSE. My sister and I were searching for a while looking for it, but had no luck. Does anybody know the exact location?

It USED to be in that location, but in recent years the selling off of some outlying land has caused it to shift into FW West, closer to The Land. I don't know if there is a marker for it, or not.

Hope that helps. :wave:

I heard it's where the monument is in Future World West that has all the scientific discoveries and accomplishments. I don't know the name of that exact display.

If it is, it's a coincidence. That was there before the Center moved.


Not sure of the name, either, but I love that little detail. So smart and fitting for EPCOT.

I've heard both the Epcot Symbol and the Discoveries in FW West both being considered the "Center" of property (before some was sold off, etc.), so I don't know which one was true

Should be closer to the latter, I think. The former is the old location.

As you walk through the west breezway toward The Land you will see several large circles making a "target" on the ground. It has many quotes around the circle but it also maks the center of the property.

The center of property is very transitional and ever changing. Every time Disney annexes or de-annexes property the physical location will change. Any marker found will be a ceremonial marker at best. Besides there are different ways to find the center of a property with such undulating property lines.

I would guess the "correct" way would be the same as the centroid of mass.

Since we cant hang it from a string, I guess someone has to intergrate over the surface of the property. Hey, something for Engineers Week in EPCOT.

Is that why they added that little detail?
