food IS a theme park
So many new and exciting things are coming to EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth
We’ve been keeping an eye on construction for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind for a while now (we even got our first look inside yesterday!!), and we’re excited to finally start counting down the days until its opening!
EPCOT is currently undergoing a HUGE transformation.
Spaceship Earth
It includes new restaurants, stores, neighborhoods, and attractions. We’ve been crossing our fingers extra-tight that we would hear more information about the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind thrill ride coming to EPCOT as part of the transformation, and boy oh boy do we have some thrilling news to share with you!
EPCOT has been undergoing a HUGE transformation these past few years!
A Peek at the Construction in EPCOT
While some projects have been completed, like EPCOT’s entrance area, others are still a work in progress, like attractions that were supposed to be opening soon. But, EPCOT is still getting ready for the big 50th anniversary celebration. And, we just learned about another part of the park’s transformation that will be ready for the anniversary!
EPCOT often gets a bad rap and, frankly, we just totally don’t get it!
We LOVE this big ball!
But despite the big transformation, the park is currently undergoing, AND the TWO new attractions (Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind) headed its way, people still seem to have certain perceptions about EPCOT that are simply not true! So we’re here to bust those lies wide open! We’re putting out our OG EPCOT Center hats and ready to drop some truths on y’all.
Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration will be an event unlike anything we’ve seen in quite some time! This eighteen-month-long birthday party is full of new entertainment offerings, firework spectaculars, dazzling golden statues, and of course, special edition merchandise to collect.
Magic Kingdom
If you’re visiting Disney World during the 50th Anniversary Celebration, there are a few key planning tips you should keep in mind!
Rides and hotels across Disney World are constantly being updated and improved, so we see them close for construction or other reasons periodically.
The Main Street, U.S.A. Railroad Station
Just so that you’re aware of any closures that are happening during your Disney World trip, we checked out which rides and hotels are expected to be closed soon. Keep in mind that rides can still close unexpectedly if bad weather, technical difficulties, or other issues create problems that make them unsafe to ride. We can anticipate some of the refurbishments, though! Here’s a list of all the scheduled Disney World closures for September.
One of the biggest burning questions of 2021 is when will Disney World open TRON Lightcycle Run and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind?
Cinderella Castle is getting ready for the 50th anniversary
Both BIG, FAST rides were originally projected to open with Disney World’s 50th anniversary, and Disney has yet to officially confirm whether their opening dates will be delayed. We’ve been keeping a close eye on the progress for these rides, and we’re here discussing everything we know as of now and how that may or may not impact these rides from opening on time.
If you’re wondering what’s new at EPCOT, then you’ve come to the right place!

Construction Walls in EPCOT
Since the EPCOT Monorail is running once again, we jumped on it to get a view from the sky of what’s going on behind these walls!
When you’re visiting Disney World, you’re bound to run into a construction project or two. That’s why we keep you up to date with the latest progress here at DFB!
