Welcome to EPCOT!
The 2023 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is right around the corner, so there’s a lot going on in this park right now. We also learned recently that the huge Harmonious barges will be removed this year, and EPCOT Forever will return for a limited time. But that’s not all that’s happened recently, so here’s what’s new in EPCOT!

Guess what — the bucket is coming back, folks! And we’re not the only ones sharing our excitement about this new development.
