food IS a theme park
Eek! We’ve been waiting over a year to say this: Test Track is officially open in EPCOT!
Test Track
It closed in June 2024 to undergo a reimagining and become Test Track 3.0, and it’s now officially open for everyone to enjoy.
Something HUGE is happening in EPCOT right now.
EPCOT
Test Track has been closed for over a year, but it’s getting ready to reopen with a new theme on July 22nd. Now, we already got a preview of the ride (and Annual Passholders, Disney Vacation Club Members, Golden Oak residents, and Club 33 Members have been checking it out, too). However, some OTHER lucky Disney World visitors have been offered the RARE chance to ride the new Test Track before it opens! And by lucky…we mean SUPER lucky…as in maybe they need to go buy lottery tickets later.
We’re in the middle of summer in Disney World and a lot is going on, and we’re not even talking about the new lands and expansions Disney is building in the parks.
Magic Kingdom
Nope, we’re talking about some other big news that dropped this week, including a BIG EPCOT Food and Wine Festival update, as well as two ride updates, include a ride that will be reopening with a brand new theme SOON. So let’s take a look at this massive news you may have missed.
Test Track is speeding back into EPCOT this summer — but it’s not the same ride you remember.
Test Track
After over a year of being closed, Test Track is finally reopening at EPCOT on July 22nd, 2025, and yes, there are some big changes in store. From new rules in the queue to a reshuffling of Lightning Lane access, Disney is rolling out a fresh new version of this thrill ride — and with it, some fresh new systems you’ll want to understand before you show up ready to race. Here’s a quick breakdown of the changes you can expect when Test Track 3.0 hits the pavement.
It feels like we’ve been waiting forever for Test Track to reopen, and your chance to hop in, pull on the yellow strap, and experience this fully reimagined attraction is getting closer and closer.
New Test Track sign!
On July 22nd, we’re going to be racing to EPCOT to experience the ride when it’s open to the public, but in the meantime, we’ve been able to catch a sneak peek with a preview session. What’s new and what stayed the same? Grab your driver’s license and let’s find out!
Get ready, EPCOT! Things are about to get FAST!
EPCOT
After over a year of waiting, Test Track is about to reopen! This is the third iteration of the attraction, which reopens on July 22nd, 2025. If you were looking to hop on a little earlier, though, we finally know when previews are taking place!
Well, it’s finally happened.
New Test Track sign!
In June 2024, Test Track closed in EPCOT to make way for a reimagined version of the ride. Now, it’s STILL going to be called Test Track, but Disney promised the ride would be a lot different. Well, the new version of Test Track is HERE and we got to ride via an early preview ahead of its reopening …and let’s just say we have some thoughts.
Are you keeping up with all of the Disney changes?
It’s Disney World!
Disney World is growing and changing a lot right now! Some classic lands are closing permanently, new attractions are coming, and we’re trying to keep up with it all while our melting Dole Whip runs down our fingers. Let’s dive into the biggest news from this week!
Is it just us, or is time flying?!

We’re going through it now so that you’re prepared and can have the best trip ever — you deserve it!
RED ALERT! Something major just happened at EPCOT, and if you weren’t excited for the summer before, you’re going to be now.
