Epcot is constantly evolving to stay one step ahead of the future it's supposed to depict.  Even the name has changed.  The park was first referred to as EPCOT (Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow) Center.  Since December of 1993, the park has been referred to as Epcot-and only the first letter is now capitalized.

The former Disneyland and Magic Kingdom Main Street Omnibuses were moved to Epcot in the early 1980s to help transport guests around World Showcase.  One was later converted to a "Junkanoo" bus and another were used for character interactions.  One of the "Characters on Holiday" buses later ended up at the Volo Auto Museum in Volo, Illinois, where it was restored in 2014.  On July 17, 2018 (which happened to be Disneyland's Anniversary),  two young children were playing near the bus and disengaged a parking brake, causing the bus to crash into a tree at the museum.  The bus was later restored.
