food IS a theme park
We’ve had LOTS of exciting things happen in EPCOT lately, and now EPCOT’s new nighttime show is finally HERE!
Luminous: The Symphony of US
In between more of the construction walls coming down, seeing Walt’s statue gazing out into the park, and an all-new light experience that you just have to see to believe, it’s hard to believe that EPCOT dropped yet another big change on us. The NEW fireworks show has officially arrived, but its debut performance has critics talking. [Read more…]
The past few days have been a wild time for EPCOT!
Luminous
The park’s lengthy transformation is coming to a close, and some of the construction walls came down to reveal EPCOT’s all-new World Celebration Gardens as well as the Walt the Dreamer statue. Oh, and did we mention that Luminous, The Symphony of Us debuted on December 5th as well? With all these fun things happening, we did start to feel a bit greedy and anticipate the opening of CommuniCore Hall and Plaza — which was set to debut in late 2023 — or so we thought.

Even though we would like to experience EVERYTHING Disney World has to offer every trip, it’s a nearly impossible feat.
Cinderella Castle
From its sheer size to limited seasonal offerings, Disney World challenges its guests with too much of a good time. For most, it takes MULTIPLE long trips to Disney World to experience everything the resort has to offer. Unfortunately, the challenge becomes even greater when you factor in closures.
A NEW fireworks show is now in EPCOT!

If you’ve ever been to Disney World, then you know that there are LOTS of places to shop!
EPCOT
It’s a common joke that theme park rides typically end in a gift shop, and because of that, you’ll find stores ALL OVER the parks with merchandise themed to rides, characters, movies, hotels, and more. But if you’re looking for merchandise for one specific character, we’ve got a great recommendation for you!
World Celebration Gardens have officially opened in EPCOT!
World Celebration Gardens
Here you can step into a serene city park-like area with beautiful green spaces and detailed planters. There are park benches, tables, and most importantly LOTS of charging stations. It nearly feels like you have left a theme park and entered a relaxing garden– which is very close to Walt’s original dream for EPCOT. But there are a few big hints that remind you that you are, in fact, still in a Disney park.

A BRAND-NEW land has officially opened up in EPCOT!
EPCOT’s new park map!
When EPCOT first announced its transformation, we learned that the park would be split into four neighborhoods — World Nature, World Showcase, World Discovery, and World Celebration. We’ve been able to fully explore three out of those four lands for a while, but we’ve been waiting for a large portion of World Celebration to reopen for YEARS. And if you’ve been itching to walk through the middle of the park again, we have great news!
There’s only so much time in one day at EPCOT to really get the best of everything they have to offer.
