teacher resource center??

I read on the Budget Board that there is a teacher resource center in Epcot. Does anyone know anything about it or where it is located? Thanks in advance.

Hi, Welcome to the Dis! I think the teacher resource center is gone now. I'm sure if I'm wrong somebody will let us know.

Yes, I'm sorry to say, that it is long gone. I can't give you an exact date when it was closed, but back in 86' when we first visited EPCOT, I and my wife we are both teachers, we visited it, and found it to be a very good resource for materials. Upon our return in 98', I went and looked for it again, and was told then, that it had been done away with. If I remember right, it was located at the rear of what is now Inoventions East. There was a national registry for teachers who visited, for what purpose I don't remember, and loads of teacher aids, projects, resources for all grade levels. I probably have one or two pieces of it left somewhere stored among my years of teacher packratting, never know when you might need it! It was a good asset for teachers. I'm sorry to have seen it go.

I'm sorry to hear that it's gone, it would have been invaluable to teachers and others alike. Thanks for your replies.

I remember going in 94 or 95, when I was in college to become a teacher. I remember thinking "how cool is this store!"

I still have a couple of the games that I bought. That is too bad that the place is gone.


BUT, I am so happy that my trip is almost here!!!!

Yes, my husband was also sorry to see it go (he's a teacher). It was a wonderful area with loads of great educational stuff. I remember my daughter used some of it on a report she did for school years ago and she cited Epcot as a source. We've always hoped they would open another one again. Epcot is such a wonderful educational place in itself, it is a logical place for a teacher's info area.
