The Layout of Epcot and UCI
I've been a big Disney fan since I can remember (which is specifically first grade where I remember dreaming all night about a trip the next day). I grew up about 20-30 minutes from the park (depending on traffic) and when I was a kid we went once or twice a year. In high school I went every week during my junior and senior years. (This was before annual passes; friendly park employees signed me in.)
I also went to UCI. I've always suspected that UCI was influenced (or vice versa) by the planning for Epcot.
Look at this picture from this article about UCI. I think you'll agree that large drawing looks a lot like a plan for Epcot.
