Is there a "basement" at EPCOT?

Had our Easter meal last weekend and a cousin of mine insisted there's a basement at EPCOT. Says she "knows" someone who knows that there is.

Now I've been a Disney fan for quite some time and have been on several backstage tours so I'm 99.999999% certain there isn't one and that the only "basement" is at the MK. LOL

Through the evening this cousin would come up to me and say "yes Patti, I know it's there because this friend of mine was in on the actual building of EPCOT. He helped build the place so he would know."

I told her what I knew about the MK underground but she kept gabbing on and on about this special place at EPCOT. I wanted to slap her.......

so if I had slapped her would I have been justified? Am I right that there's no basement at Epcot?

Nope, you're wrong. And you'd have been wrong to slap her, for several reasons.

I learn new stuff all the time on the DIS.

You can see a (low quality) picture of one of the Epcot tunnels on Steve Alcorn's site:

You can also see a diagram of the tunnel layout in the permit filing:

The tunnels are under Innoventions East with side tunnel that comes out back stage next to Universe of Energy.

I have heard rumors that there is a basement at the Alamo in San Antonio, but I haven't been able to confirm that.

I went as a chaperone with a group of our kids to San Antonio. Many hadn't been there before so I told them to ask for a tour of the basement. Every single one of them--including an assistant principal--asked about it. I laughed for twenty minutes!!!!
