Disney Just Announced GIANT Plans for The Future of Epcot

Epcot fans, prepare to freak out. Disney just dropped some major news about the future of the classic Walt Disney World theme park. And trust us, this bombshell announcement is going to change Epcot as we know it forever! 😱

That’s right, mouse lovers. Big changes are coming to the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow in the next few years. We’re talking new rides, new lands, and even some returning favorites that will make you feel all the nostalgia feels.

Disney unveiled their grand vision for Epcot’s transformation at the recent D23 Expo, and it’s pretty epic. Here’s a taste of what Disney has cooking:

• A brand new area called World Celebration will offer stunning views of Epcot’a iconic Spaceship Earth. This is where the magic begins as you enter the park!
• World Nature will give us The Journey of Water inspired by Moana. Get ready for lush exploration!
• The World Discovery neighborhood brings the first-ever Guardians of the Galaxy rollercoaster along with a play pavilion based on characters from Frozen.
• Don’t miss the new creations coming to World Showcase too. A first-of-its-kind Mary Poppins attraction is on the way in the U.K pavilion!
• And you’ve been asking for it: the fan favorite nighttime show IllumiNations is getting replaced by an all new state of the art extravaganza!

But that’s not all. For all you Epcot history buffs–some of your favorite retro rides aren’t going anywhere! Disney confirmed that pure nostalgic classics like Spaceship Earth, Figment and the Land pavilion are staying put. Phew! 😅

As it stands today, World Celebration is a demolition site. Temporary pathways that route guests around the center of Future World have felt more permanent of late, with demolition work only recently picking up, and at a pace that is much slower than what we saw before the closures.

The sweeping Epcot overhaul is already underway, and Disney promises the intergalactic new experiences will start opening in the next year or two. Trust us, you need to book those Disney vacations ASAP before this transformation is complete! Epcot is about to become Disney World’s hottest park.
