Ariella’s Odyssey: Part 2
Epcot!
Does any word in any language sound as much like “apricot” without actually being it?
I mean like if you pronounce it the way with a short Ay sound and not the silly way that makes it sound like “ape”. No actually I guess it sounds about the same amount like “Epcot” no matter which way you say it. Which isn’t that much now that I think about it.
Maybe if it was “epricot”.
Okay, from now on everybody has to say “apricot” like it starts with an Eee. That way when people of future generations read this it will make sense. Hello, future generations! If you’re reading this in the future, don’t pay attention to the two paragraphs before this one! Take like an amnesia pill or use a memory erasing ray or whatever it is you have in your far-flung future.
So anyway Epcot’s history is a long and storied history. So storied that like you might as well save time and just call it “historied”. Its historied goes back to the very earliest days of Disney World. See, Walt Disney had already built a theme park called Disneyland back in California and the last thing he wanted to do was build another one just like it. Instead he imagined building a perfectly planned city that would use the latest space ageiest technologies so people would come from all over the world to see.
He called this city “EPCOT”, which stands for “ALL COWS EAT GRASS”.
Old Walt was sure that people would come to live and work and spend money in a city where he owned all the property and controlled every aspect of everyone’s lives, but eventually his board of directors convinced him to put a theme park just like Disneyland there, too.
Mr. Disney never gave up on his futuristic city, though he ended up dying before he saw his dream die, be paved over and another theme park built on top of it. That theme park is called Epcot in honor of the vision it replaced, and the resort it’s part of is called Walt Disney World Resort. Just like a great big tombstone, it bears the name of the person over whose dead body it was built.
Tomorrow: The journey continues. In a parking lot named Journey.

Heya this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
