I came here to make the same comment, I'm surprised they didn't mention EPCOT in the article. Many people don't know that Disney's vision was for EPCOT to be a real city (well, maybe "town" is more appropriate for 20,000 citizens), not a theme park.

    The Disney company (under Eisner) did create a planned community called Celebration, but it didn't really follow Walt Disney's EPCOT plan. It still exists, but has since been sold off to a private developer, so has no real connection to Disney.
