food IS a theme park
Hello from EPCOT! We’ve got lots to show you.
Spaceship Earth
We took a walk around Future World and the World Showcase and found some new merchandise, snack updates, and more. Let’s take a look!
Disney World is totally revamping EPCOT with new attractions, nighttime shows, and even a new look!
Spaceship Earth
EPCOT is a literal maze of construction walls and gutted buildings at the moment. The theme park is undergoing a MASSIVE overhaul that will totally transform the theme park. Guests will be able to experience all sorts of new adventures when it’s all said done. So, let’s take a photo tour so you can see exactly what the construction progress is and what construction looks like on ALL the BIG EPCOT projects.
Disney World will often close attractions, restaurants, or resorts for refurbishments. Some closures are scheduled in advance while others are unexpected and due to maintenance issues or other reasons.

You won’t always find the closures advertised before your trip so it’s good to stay in the know! We’re here to help you plan ahead by listing all the planned refurbishments for this week. Check out everything this will be closed between January 25th through January 31st!
Not every Disney World attraction is open 365 days a year! Some are scheduled to close for touch-ups or large construction projects.
Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island Construction
Some refurbishments are scheduled months in advance and others are in need of maintenance. It’s good practice to know what Disney World rides and shows are closed so you can plan ahead! Knowing beforehand allows you to create an itinerary based on what’s closed and what’s open in the theme parks! Let’s take a look at next week’s refurbishment schedule between January 18th through January 24th, 2021.
Planning ahead can help you on your road to a stress-free vacation to Disney World!

Before heading to the theme parks, it’s helpful to know what attractions are closed. This will help you plan around the closures and ensure you’re not too disappointed when you arrive. We’re back with a refurbishment update to inform you of all the attractions that will be closed for refurb this week. Let’s take a look at the refurb schedule from January 11th through January 17th, 2021.
