While a grad student in Urban Studies at UCLA in the 70's, I attended a small seminar given by John Hench (then Disney pres) and Martin Sklar (then head of WED Imagineering on the subject of EPCOT. The purpose of the lecture was to present the urban planning aspect of the original concept Disney had for EPCOT -- an actual community for people to live in on a rotating basis. We had the rare privilege to view the last film that Disney narrated giving the details of EPCOT and the Magic Kingdom. The film was made for the Florida State legislature in order to garner support for Disney to, in effect, become his own municipality and write his own zoning regulations. In fact, this is exactly what was accomplished with the Reedy Creek Improvement District (if my memory serves correctly). In the film, there is extensive use of the model that your are referring to in Disney World. A memorable film that is worth seeing if only to see how far EPCOT has departed from Disney's original vision.
