EPCOT Just CLOSED One of the Best Shortcuts in the Park

EPCOT has been through quite a few changes recently!

Spaceship Earth in EPCOT

The park is almost done with a massive transformation that included new rides, restaurants, gift shops, and common spaces. Just back in December, we saw World Celebration (the area in the middle of the park) reopen to visitors, but construction in the front areas of the park isn’t quite done yet. And recently, there was another major change!

A few years ago when EPCOT kicked off the multi-year transformation and started putting up construction walls around the park, a new pathway was opened near Spaceship Earth. This pathway would lead you directly back from the front entrance area to The Seas with Nemo and Friends and the rest of World Nature.

The Seas

We’ve used this path a LOT in the past few years, but now Disney has closed it off again! If you want to get to The Seas and that side of the park, there are some alternate routes.

The walkway is closed!

The first is to walk up by Spaceship Earth and take the pathway that goes past Journey of Water and the new Moana meet and greet. This is probably the most direct route.

The path comes out next to Journey of Water

The other option is to go through World Celebration, then cut right in the middle of the park and walk past CommuniCore Hall (the big white building that’s still under construction). This path opens up in the middle of World Nature, directly across from The Land Pavilion.

Take the pathway past this building!

Navigating EPCOT may be a little confusing right now, but we can’t wait to see what things look like when the rest of the construction is completed this year! Stay tuned to DFB for all the updates.
