9-22-18 UPDATE! Great news — as we suspected, the Family Play Zone has returned, though with slightly different equipment than before!
____________
The Family Play Zone Kids’ Playground, a fun addition to this year’s Epcot Food and Wine Festival, has now been closed.
Family Play Zone
On our visit to Epcot yesterday we noticed the Family Play Zone was closed. This is what the Play Zone looked like on the Festival’s Opening Day.
New Family Play Zone
Yesterday, signs were up noting the area is under refurbishment and shrubbery on wheels was hiding the work.

Looking into the Play Zone, it seems the equipment is being dismantled.

The Family Play Zone is still listed on the Epcot Times Guide. We’ll continue looking into this story to see if a re-build or replacement is on the way.

I am sure having metal play equipment in the Florida sun is not a good idea.
Man I hope it opens back up in October!
Our little guy really enjoyed getting a break from his stroller to stretch his legs and run around a bit during Flower and Garden. I hope this will open back up soon!
Hope they open back up. Was looking forward to an area they could run for a bit.
I wonder if a child became injured. I hope it’s repaired soon! We we’re looking forward to checking it out.
I walked by the play zone today (sep 24) and it is open today
Still wreck it Ralph
Hi Steve! Yep — we update this post and added a new post about it reopening this past weekend! Thanks!
