No Disney trip is complete without a trip to EPCOT!

Between rides lik Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and seasonal festivals beginning every few months, it has proven to be a very exciting place to be! It seems that changes are constantly being made lately — and we’re keeping track of all of them.

These are all the new and exciting things we came across in EPCOT recently! We have construction and merchandise updates galore, and we’re so excited to share them all with you.

EPCOT Construction Updates

Here are all the construction updates we saw in EPCOT! We love seeing the progress made each time we visit.

Butterfly Garden

Big news for fans of EPCOT’s International Flower and Garden Festival! Construction for the butterfly garden that appears annually at World Nature has officially started.

Soon, this will transform into a beautiful sanctuary for amazing plants and butterflies.

Journey of Water

We also were able to see an update on the Journey of Water: Inspired by Moana walkthrough experience.

The walkways are taking shape, and it looks like even more foliage has been added since our last visit. This attraction is scheduled to open sometime later this year!

EPCOT Parking Lot

We also got to see the brand-new Wall-E signs in the EPCOT parking lot!

We never thought we’d be so excited about a parking lot addition, but Wall-E looks so cute up there.

EPCOT Attraction Updates

We only saw one new attraction, but it’s one you’re not gonna want to miss. In the American Adventure pavilion in World Showcase, you can see a new Art of Disney exhibit dedicated to re-imagined Disney Princesses.

This exhibit is presented by CreativeSoul Photography, which specializes in celebrating African cultures by showing how Disney Princesses would look as African rulers. You can look at the photography they’ve done as well as dolls inspired by their work.
