O rlando City SC, which runs the Orlando Pride, told  The Orlando Sentinel : "T...

ORLANDO, Florida -- Designed as a permanent world's fair by Walt Disney himself, EPCOT is celebrating its 35th anniversary. Disney opened its second theme park at the Walt Disney World Resort on October 1, 1982. In celebration of this big milestone, here are 35 facts you might not have known about EPCOT: EPCOT is twice the size of the Magic Kingdom, and spans 300 acres. The park is the third most-visited theme park in North America. EPCOT is also the world's sixth most-visited theme park. Walt Disney inspired the concept for EPCOT, but did not live to see its completion. He died five years before Magic Kingdom opened on October 1, 1971. The park has hosted more than 12 million guests, according to statistics released in 2015. The geodesic sphere at the park's entrance, Spaceship Earth, weighs 15,520,000 pounds.

Walt Disney Co. is facing a crucial test of the strength of its ESPN sports empire as a New York pay-TV provider is balking at the Burbank entertainment giant’s contract demands, setting the stage for a high-stakes showdown. Altice USA is refusing to meet Disney’s demands to carry ESPN and Disney’s entertainment channels, including ABC, saying Disney is asking for too much money, particularly for ESPN, which has been struggling with subscriber losses and ratings declines. The carriage agreement — which covers Altice’s 2.6 million customer homes in the New York City suburbs — expires Saturday night. Without a new deal, millions of sports fans will be left in the lurch, unable to watch “Monday Night Football” or a pivotal New York Yankees wildcard playoff game next week. “Disney is not going to back down, and neither is Altice,” said veteran media analyst Michael Nathanson of MoffettNathanson Research. Much is riding on the negotiations, which will continue in adva...
