EPCOT is full of hidden details, clever design tricks, and fascinating stories that most guests walk right past. From cultural secrets in World Showcase to Imagineering illusions in Future World, the park is packed with surprises. Here are some of the coolest secrets you might not know.

The aquarium in The Seas is enormous

It holds 5.7 million gallons of water, making it one of the largest saltwater aquariums in the world making it big enough to fit multiple Spaceship Earth spheres inside.

Every World Showcase pavilion has REAL cultural input.

Architects, artists, and historians from each country helped design their pavilion, from Morocco’s hand-painted tiles to Japan’s authentic torii gate.

Spaceship Earth drains rainwater like a giant funnel.

The triangular panels channel water into a hidden pipe system that sends rain into the World Showcase Lagoon so guests don’t get soaked walking underneath it.
