Hi there Doug, and welcome to planDisney!
EPCOT is my favorite Walt Disney World theme park. I remember my first visit as a tiny traveler; I fell in love with the pavilions, omnimover attractions, and catchy theme songs. My parents bought a record, The Official Album of EPCOT Center, and my sister and I grew up singing Imagination and Veggie Veggie Fruit Fruit. Things look a little different these days, as innovative experiences like
Test Track and
Soarin' Around the World have replaced old favorites, but Walt Disney reminded Imagineers to keep moving forward, and it's full speed ahead at EPCOT.
Whether you're a fan of Disney animation, Marvel, or unique nighttime spectaculars, something exciting is on the horizon. On October 1,
Remy's Ratatouille Adventure will open and
Harmonious will debut on World Showcase Lagoon. Next year, Guests will be able to dine amongst the stars at
Space 220 and immerse themselves in Journey of Water, inspired by
Moana. As a huge fan of all things Marvel, I can't wait to see what Star-Lord and his crew are up to on
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. Be sure to stay tuned to the
Disney Parks Blog as these
new experiences come to life during the next year or two.
While the magic makers work hard behind the scenes, you'll notice some construction walls throughout Future World. Pardon their pixie dust! Some projects, like the entrance fountain remodel, have been completed, but others are still in progress.
Mouse Gear has been temporarily relocated, and you'll have to visit
Travelers Café to get your Starbucks fix since the Fountain View is closed. As you make your way around, just follow the signs and you'll have no problem finding your favorite attractions.
I hope you have a fantastic time on your visit, Doug. Although there is a lot of unfinished business at EPCOT right now, the future is bright for this theme park. Thanks so much for sending your question our way, and we'll see ya real soon!
