food IS a theme park
It’s only August, but we’re already getting ready for 2021.
2021 Calendar
Recently, we found a 2021 calendar in EPCOT, and now we’ve found a NEW 2021 calendar in Magic Kingdom! If you’re a fan of Disney Parks posters, you’ll definitely want to check this one out!
We’ve been hard at work scoping out all the latest news for you this week. Today we have all the details on the latest in the Disney World theme parks and MORE!

Ah EPCOT, you ever-changing park of progress.
EPCOT
We’re always keeping a sharp eye out for work being done in Disney’s biggest work-in-progress park and that means looking at a LOT of the building permits that the company is filing. We’re able to spot crazy new inventions and interesting construction projects this way, and today we spotted a new permit for a project NEAR Spaceship Earth! Hmm…
Even WITHOUT the historic four month-long closures, Disney World has had their hands full with upcoming construction projects. With Disney World’s 50th Anniversary coming up in 2021 and EPCOT going through a massive transformation ahead of its 40th Anniversary in in 2022, several ambitious new attractions are in the works!

Let’s take a few moments to catch up on everything we know so far about these projects, including when we think each one should be completed!

Walt Disney World has been making cuts, delaying construction projects, and making health and safety changes around the parks recently.
Cinderella Castle
This week alone, Disney made an official statement that the Spaceship Earth renovation and the new Mary Poppins attraction are being postponed. We just learned three new attractions that will allegedly close permanently.
The Disney Parks have officially reopened, but we’re still feeling the ripples of the closures.
EPCOT
We’ve been hanging out around EPCOT today checking out everything that’s changed since we were last here AND the 2020 Taste of EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. One hidden change we found was in the EPCOT Experience where the Spaceship Earth refurbishment and the upcoming Mary Poppins attraction have been removed from the “coming soon” video. Now, Disney has issued a statement about these two attractions.
Greetings, World travelers. We’re at EPCOT today for its historic grand reopening. And who are we kidding…we’re also here to sample more items at the Food and Wine marketplace food booths scattered throughout the World Showcase.
Bonjour Remy!
So far, we’ve already shown you what crowd levels look like for the first day of the Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival, which is also making history today. It will be the longest-running EPCOT Food and Wine festival of all time, plus you’ll find parts of EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival patchworked in.
Is it weird to lose sleep over a giant geodesic sphere?
Spaceship Earth
Well, we tagged along with a friend for Cast Member previews of EPCOT and got to see inside that giant golf ball we all know and love today. And while there have been some changes made, we can tell ya Computer Lady is safe and sound! In fact, she’s not going anywhere for the time being! 😉
