Maybe they changed it when they were doing one of the shows there in the 80's and the name stuck.

Personally, I like the name Fountain Of Nations. It has a much better ring to it and it's a great name that segues Future World into World Showcase. World Fellowship Fountain sounds more like a place to bring our hymnals to and rejoice! BUT, if they bring back Horizons, I'll rejoice and go along with the WFF name and sing a few passages.
