By Thematasetzung international cultural and innovative technology affects the park now looks like a small world exhibition.

Epcot was to 1996 as the most lernorientierte amusement park in the world and had a very sober appearance. There were no typical Disney characters in the park, and the attractions especially the intellectual interest. (Eg many exhibition areas, 360-degree cinema to the various regions of the world or easy rides in boats by artificial landscapes).

Thus the The Living Seas pavilion with the theme from the movie Finding Nemo is completed and newly The Seas with Nemo and Friends. The original attraction El Rio del Tiempo in the Mexican pavilion was, inter alia, the character Donald Duck and expanded in Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros renamed.
