===Other legacies=== Many exhibitions and rides created by [[Walt Disney]] and his [[Walt Disney Imagineering|WED Enterprises]] company for the [[1964 New York World's Fair]] (which was held over into 1965) were moved to [[Disneyland Park (Anaheim)|Disneyland]] after the closing of the Fair. Many of the rides, including "[[It's a Small World]]", and "[[Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln]]", as well as the building that housed the [[Carousel of Progress]] are still in operation.<ref name="OCR s872">{{cite web | title=Disney history: Disney rides open at World's Fair | website=Orange County Register | date=April 20, 2014 | url=https://www.ocregister.com/2014/04/20/disney-history-disney-rides-open-at-worlds-fair/ | access-date=June 5, 2024}}</ref> The concept of a permanent world's fair came to fruition with the Disney [[Epcot]] theme park at the [[Walt Disney World Resort]], near [[Orlando, Florida]].<ref>{{cite news |title=35 incredible facts about Disney's EPCOT theme park |url=https://abc7ny.com/happy-birthday-epcot-disney-theme-park-turns-35/2477013/ |access-date=8 April 2025 |work=ABC}}</ref> Epcot has many characteristics of a typical universal exposition: national pavilions and exhibits concerning technology and/or the future, along with more typical amusement park rides. Meanwhile, several of the 1964 attractions that were relocated to Disneyland have been duplicated at the [[Walt Disney World Resort]]. Occasionally other mementos of the fairs remain. In the [[New York City Subway]] system, signs directing people to [[Flushing Meadows–Corona Park]] remain from the 1964–1965 event. In the [[Montreal Metro]] subway at least one tile artwork of its theme, "Man and His World", remains. Also, a seemingly endless supply of souvenir items from fair visits can be found, and in the United States, at least, often turn up at garage or estate sales. Many fairs and expos produced [[postage stamp]]s and commemorative [[coin]]s.
