food IS a theme park
Merry (almost) Christmas from EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth
We’re back to take a look at the new food, merchandise, and attraction updates! We spotted quite a few new items and a gift shop has reopened. Step inside a very festive EPCOT to see what we found!
As you likely know, EPCOT is currently in the midst of a MASSIVE transformation.
Construction in Future World
In addition to the new rides coming to the park, like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, we’re also expecting a new nighttime spectacular, Harmonious. There are also plans to add some new buildings and features to the park, making it more eye-catching. Part of this plan includes an updated park entrance, and we got some details on the fountain coming to that area today!
Can you believe it? Next week is CHRISTMAS!

Those of you traveling during Christmas week will want to stay extra flexible. Crowds can get heavy around the holidays and you’ll want to prepare for long lines! It’s also good practice to keep informed on scheduled attraction closures when you’re traveling to Disney World. That way, you’re not totally disappointed if you suddenly find out your favorite ride is closed. We’re here to help you plan around the scheduled refurbishments so you’ll experience less stress on vacation. Let’s take a look at the refurb schedule from December 21st through December 27th!
Hello world travelers! Welcome back to another what’s new at EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth
We took a trip around the park to see any updates in food, merchandise, and more! Let’s jump in and see the latest updates!
We’ve been anxiously awaiting the opening of the new EPCOT attraction, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure.
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Sign
The attraction was originally scheduled to open in the summer of 2020, but following the extended park closure, the opening date has now been pushed back to 2021. We’ve been keeping a close eye on the construction progress that’s visible from the Disney Skyliner, and tonight we were treated to some bright and beautiful lights!
It takes a lot of work to keep Disney World looking fresh, clean, and shiny for guests!
Drained Rivers of America
Disney will often schedule refurbishments to freshen up attractions or work on larger projects. It’s best to know what rides or venues are closed so you can plan around the schedule during your vacation. Let’s take a look at what’s closed next week December 14th through December 20th!
EPCOT is getting a major transformation with a reimagined look, attractions, and more enhancements!
EPCOT Ticket Booths
As part of the transformation, Imaginers have created a new color scheme that will be highlighted on shops, structures, and paint jobs around the theme park. We’ve already seen the new design and colors appear on the newly painted ticket booths and construction walls. The new theme has started to move more buildings around the park!
Who’s ready for a festive trip to EPCOT??
Christmas Tree in EPCOT
Hey there, DFB friends! We recently visited EPCOT to see what’s new since our last trip to the park, and we were greeted with a ton of new additions. So, without further ado, let’s dive into all of the latest food, merchandise, and construction updates in EPCOT!
We’re taking a cruise in the Skyliner today for one reason and one reason only.
France Pavilion
Nope, it’s not to experience this very fun mode of transportation (although that is a plus). We’re hoping to get a glimpse of the progress over at EPCOT’s France Pavilion expansion! Let’s take a look!
When we talk about the EPCOT Transformation, we spend a lot of time focused on the BIG aspects.
EPCOT Ticket Booths
Sure, the Future World work is exciting and we’re pumped for the Harmonious Nighttime Spectacular, but what about the small details? We love the colorful new paint that arrived on the ticket booths a while ago and now there’s another little update!
