EPCOT
There has even been some new happenings since our last check-in, so let’s take a moment to roundup the latest findings around the park!
EPCOT General Updates
EPCOT is currently under a lot of construction as it continues its massive transformation! “Future World” is no more as the front half of the park has officially separated into three distinct neighborhoods: World Celebration, World Discovery, and World Nature!

We were at Disney for the 50th Anniversary and made a visit to the “New” flagship store Creations. Nothing Disney about this place at all ! It was like walking into Macy’s in NYC ! What a horrible let down. We want Mouse Gear back a true Disney shopping experience!! No Disney theme no Disney music only elevator music. My suggestion is to shop somewhere else ! I won’t be going back there. It’s awful and I heard that from several shoppers in there.
Since there’s no glass containers allowed, would be even be allowed to use it in the parks?
