Not this debate again..

Epcot Facts
On Oct. 1, 1978, Card Walker, then president of Walt Disney Productions, revealed plans for Epcot, a theme park inspired by Walt's philosophies
Groundbreaking for the construction of EPCOT began not far from the Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1979. At the time, it was the largest construction project in the entire United States . And yes, that's right.... believe it or not, it took exactly three years to the day to clear the land and build the entire infrastructure for Future World and World Showcase, including all of the attractions, restaurants, shops and gardens!
It took nearly 3,000 designers and 4,000 construction workers to complete "Phase 1" of the theme park. Think they had to move around a little dirt? You bet - try about 54,000,000 cubic feet. That's how much earth was moved during this initial construction phase!
During the entire three year span that it took to complete the project, a total of more than 10,000 workers from 18 labor unions, as well as 22 General Contractors and 500 subcontractors participated in the construction.
Spaceship Earth
In the scene at the top where the moon is showing, you may see a lift, which is used to get Mickey or others to the top of Spaceship Earth outside for special events or movie shoots.
