5 Changes Coming to EPCOT Next Month

EPCOT is full of possibilities, adventure, and delicious food — but 5 changes are hitting this Disney World park next month.

EPCOT

With June just around the corner, Summer is almost here at Disney World! Not only will the heat be turning up in the Disney parks, but you can expect to see some big changes coming. From new attractions to special holidays, these are the changes happening at EPCOT next month.

Flower and Garden Festival Ends

Starting off on June 1st, the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival will end. June 1st will be the last day guests will have a chance to enjoy the outdoor kitchens and special events around this festival. For the rest of June and all of July, there will not be an EPCOT festival happening. The next event will be EPCOT’s International Food and Wine Festival, which will begin on August 27th.

La Cava Celebrations

Over at La Cava del Tequila, two celebrations in June could come with something special. On June 8th, it’s National Avocado Margarita Day — which was actually established by Mark Walburge on his birthday. On June 15th, La Cava will celebrate Black Magic Day. The Black Magic Margarita is made with smoky Mezcal, blackberry purée, Cassis liqueur, lime, and mint — it was also developed by THE Neil Patrick Harris. We’ll keep our eyes peeled for any specials celebrating these two popular drinks.

We love a Disney margarita!

World Ocean Day

This one stings a little to talk about because we miss it so much. World Ocean Day is June 8th, and in the past, this was the day you could find Scuba Mickey inside the Seas at EPCOT. He has not been spotted in a few years, and we really miss seeing him in the tank. If you happen to be at EPCOT on June 8th, it’s worth a stop to see if he’s there because it is a real treat to spot him!

Hi, Mickey!

Cool Kids’ SUMMER

While Cool Kids’ SUMMER officially kicks off on May 26th, we decided to remind you that it will be in full swing during the month of June. At EPCOT, Goofycore is returning again this year. This is where Goofy brings in games, DJs, entertainment Cast Members, and, of course, himself to play with guests of all ages. Be sure to stop by to pay him a visit and have some fun!

LOTS of fun here!

Soarin’ Over America

Similarly, Soarin’ Over America will debut on May 26th, and with no official end date to this attraction, you can enjoy it all month long. This new version is arriving just in time to celebrate the United States’ 250th anniversary, and it will take guests on a coast-to-coast journey featuring some of the country’s most iconic landscapes and cityscapes. Think sweeping natural beauty, recognizable skylines, and a heavy dose of Americana. Be sure to take a ride while you can!
