What’s the most popular ride in EPCOT? Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, of course!

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind

This ride has always been one of our favorites, and we all remember the time that we finally got all six songs. Disney filed a new permit for the attraction, and we’re hoping that doesn’t mean downtimes are coming.

The permit is for “general construction” and lists Coastal Steel as the contractor, so it’s likely this is for general maintenance rather than a massive change. While it could mean a small closure, they might be able to work on it at night, depending on the project, and keep the ride moving and grooving.

There haven’t been any closures announced by Disney, so we wouldn’t worry too much right now, but we’ll be keeping an eye on it to see what happens. It’s also possible it’s in more backstage areas, and we won’t even notice a change.

EPCOT is days away from the first day of the Food & Wine Festival, which starts on August 27th and runs till November 21st. This festival is packed with food booths featuring delicious snacks to try, free concerts by well-known artists, scavenger hunts, and more!

Personally, I’m excited for the new Cheers to Cheese! exhibit, which will explore the history of cheese with fun facts. You’ll be able to see it at CommuniCore Hall (aka you can see it with indoor air conditioning!), and we always love it when Disney adds new experiences to the lineup.
