It’s FINALLY time!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
After months, nay, YEARS of waiting — we finally got the chance to ride Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT! The ride officially opens to the public on May 27th, but we got to step inside a few weeks early and check out the hype for ourselves. So without further ado, we present to you — an official first look inside the ride!
Rides close temporarily all the time in Disney World, and sometimes guests have to get evacuated off the ride. It sounds scary, but it can actually be an interesting experience!
Guests getting evacuated from Splash Mountain
Evacuations can let you see a dark ride in a new light — that is, with all the lights on! It’s almost like an unexpected behind-the-scenes tour, though it might ruin the magic for some people. We’ve been evacuated from Splash Moutain not long ago, and we’ve also seen Space Mountain evacuated with lights on too, and now we have another look at this iconic EPCOT ride with lights on!
EPCOT is in the middle of a massive transformation right now, and while we knew about a lot of the projects Disney is working on, they still have a way of surprising us with new things!
SO much is getting built over here!
Some of the transformation has already been completed, like the expansion of the France pavilion and the new flagship store in the park. But, other projects remain under construction, and seem like they will be for a while just from looking at the state of the middle of the park! Disney hadn’t even mentioned everything actually being worked on in the middle of the park…until now! So, let’s look at some BIG NEW things coming to EPCOT!
D23, “The Official Disney Fan Club,” offers a ton of perks to its members.

Some of the transformation has been completed, like Creations Shop, Connections Cafe and Eatery, Club Cool, and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. But, other parts of the transformation either have a long way to go or have been put on pause. One of the attractions in progress right now is Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana. We’ve been keeping a close eye on construction, but Disney just shared a new look at some concept art for the area!
