Walt Disney World is in the middle of one of its most ambitious transformation periods in years. Across the resort, construction projects, reimagined lands, and brand-new experiences are changing the guest experience at a rapid pace. What makes the current wave of changes especially interesting, however, is that Disney is no longer focusing only on adding new attractions. Some of ...

The EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival may have ended June 1, but guests arriving at the park on Wednesday got their first real look at what EPCOT looks like in its absence. The Festival Blooms Are Coming Out On Wednesday, WDWNT shared a photo of the grassy stretch along the World Showcase Lagoon where the Festival Blooms flowerbeds had ...

There is something uniquely satisfying about a Disney park experience that disappears for years, quietly missed by the guests who remember it, and then comes back better than it left. It does not happen often, and when it does, it tends to land with a weight that a brand-new experience never quite achieves on its own. The nostalgia layer adds ...

For years, EPCOT guests have shared a running joke that almost every Disney fan understands immediately: the trash cans around World Showcase double as tables. Need a place to set down a festival snack? Trash can. Looking for somewhere to balance a drink while checking the My Disney Experience app? Trash can. Trying to split a food item with friends ...

EPCOT has been through more changes over the past several years than most Disney parks see in a decade. New rides, new pavilions, new entertainment, a full reimagining of what the park is supposed to be. A lot of it has been genuinely exciting. Some of it has been complicated. And one piece of it, a project announced in 2019 ...

Disney World fans have watched many familiar attractions disappear over the past several years. Entire lands have changed themes, classic rides have vanished, and longtime EPCOT fans especially have seen the park move further away from its original identity in favor of movie franchises and recognizable characters. Now, one attraction keeps popping up in conversations about what Disney could target ...

Walt Disney World opened Connections Eatery in April 2022 as a modern, global-inspired dining space that fit seamlessly into EPCOT’s reimagined central hub. Years later, the result has become one of the park’s most divisive experiences—and fans are calling for change. The quick-service restaurant was introduced as part of Disney’s ongoing transformation of EPCOT, a project that’s seen excitement turn ...

A British TikToker has called out Walt Disney World for the inaccuracies (and accuracies) in EPCOT’s United Kingdom Pavilion. For decades, parkgoers from across the globe have used EPCOT as a way to see the world without ever leaving Florida. The park’s World Showcase is home to eleven different pavilions, each themed after a different nation: Canada, Japan, China, Norway, ...

Walt Disney World has entered one of the busiest periods of transformation the resort has seen in years. No matter where guests look, there are construction walls, refurbishment projects, and major expansion plans changing the future of the parks and hotels. Magic Kingdom is preparing for massive new additions, Disney’s Hollywood Studios continues evolving, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom is quickly ...

France at EPCOT used to feel almost secondary compared to the rest of World Showcase. Guests would casually wander through the pavilion, maybe stop for a pastry at Les Halles or grab dinner at Chefs de France, and then continue toward the next country without giving it much more thought. That version of France barely exists anymore. Credit: Erica Lauren, ...
