Epcot → EPCOT (theme park) – On October 1, 2019, Disney officially unveils a new logo known as "EPCOT" in all-caps. As the time progress, many Disney cast member started refer to the theme park as "EPCOT" in all-caps. This RM hasn't requested since logo and park name changes, which happens 4 months ago. In order to disambiguate from EPCOT (concept), the (theme park) word was added after EPCOT name because neither has a Primary topic. This RM can be changed as just EPCOT (in all-cap letters) if this article is primary topic. 180.245.214.207 (talk) 10:43, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If the name had already changed, we would have certainly seen some kind of press release from Disney and the spelling would have immediately changed on the WDW website. Disney doesn't make a major branding change on a whim. The Palm Beach Post article (republished by USA Today) claims that the name change has been confirmed, but does not identify or quote an official source for this pronouncement. Meanwhile, the hometown Orlando Sentinel continues to use "Epcot"[1] and the official Walt Disney World website continues to identify the second gate as "Epcot".[2] Until we see some kind of official indication from Disney, the name should not change.

1990s–2000s: Decline in vision...Huh?

[edit]

Why is this a heading? "Decline in vision" is an opinion/nonPOV statement. Who determined it was a Decline in Vision? Sure, some people may have that opinion (and, I hasten to add, just as many people don't), but again...that's opinion, not fact. Maybe that thought would merit being in the text somewhere (properly cited), but not as a section header. Even something like "Decline in Attendance"...with proper citations...would be plausible, that's factual - but saying "Decline in Vision" begs the question "who's vision"? What does "decline" mean? "Decline" implies a critical determination that the original vision was "good", and the current vision (again, who'e vision are we talking about?) is worse. Based on...what? Perhaps a neutral way of phrasing it would be "Change in vision". But again, I would think that would need some concrete documentation (beyond the oped pieces of a couple random columnists). Like a new vision statement from Disney outlining a new direction (which doesn't make it better or worse - from an encyclopedic point of view - just different.) Opinions are fine of course, but Wikipedia isn't the place for those. 2601:41:C100:2140:2C2F:33D4:7A90:A854 (talk) 20:22, 29 December 2020 (UTC)TF[reply]

Although "decline in vision" may be a point of view, not a fact per se, is it not a fact that a large number of people throughout the world expected a radical change in geopolitics.
The ending of the cold war with the disintegration of the Warsaw Pact Alliance was a fact that caused mass expectation of a new regime between East and West on the western hemisphere.
So the "decline of vision" is a notable "fact". Janosabel (talk) 22:10, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article move for name change

[edit]

Article should be moved to "EPCOT (theme park)." The park's name has been done in all uppercase since early 2020. I've tried to do it myself, but it keeps getting rejected. Here is the confirmation of the name change in a news article:

https://wdwnt.com/2020/02/walt-disney-world-officially-confirms-epcot-name-change-to-epcot-as-part-of-parks-transformation/

The Walt Disney Company also uses "EPCOT" (all uppercase) in all its advertising. 2719Hyperion (talk) 15:48, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
