Disney World is having some real spelling trouble on one of its new road signs

Disney needs its own in-house spellcheck.

C'mon, Disney World. Do better.

A hard-to-miss typo displayed on a road sign at Florida's Walt Disney World Resort has been leaving drivers a bit puzzled.

Magic Kingdom: check.

Disney Springs: check.

Epoct: wait, that can't be right.

This goofy spelling error was posted on Facebook by Floridian Tim Smyth who spotted the sign on Western Way near Buena Vista Boulevard on Tuesday.

According to ClickOrlando, Disney has since corrected the sign’s error to "Epcot," the acronym for Disney's Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow.

Epcot opened in 1982 and is one of Walt Disney World's four theme parks.

After 35 years, you'd think they'd have learned the correct spelling by now.
