We might be in the midst of the 2020 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, but the 2021 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is following close behind. Now, we have confirmation of a FUN activity returning to the artsiest fest!
On December 10th, Disney held its annual Investor Day conference, providing fans and investors alike with HUGE updates on Disney+, direct-to-consumer streaming, and some of Disney’s investment strategies moving forward.

Just a few days before Investor Day, Disney’s stock hit some of the highest trading values it’s had all year, and now, following its Investor Day announcements, Disney’s stock value has soared again!
It takes a lot of work to keep Disney World looking fresh, clean, and shiny for guests!

Disney will often schedule refurbishments to freshen up attractions or work on larger projects. It’s best to know what rides or venues are closed so you can plan around the schedule during your vacation. Let’s take a look at what’s closed next week December 14th through December 20th!
We’ve so enjoyed seeing our friend Winnie the Pooh frolicking around in EPCOT, and we’ve loved adding some adorable Winnie the Pooh merchandise to our Disney collections!
Winnie the Pooh in EPCOT
This year alone, we’ve seen a Winnie the Pooh Danielle Nicole collection, Pooh Loungefly bags, and more! But now we’re in a really sticky situation. It looks like our Winnie the Pooh collection will be getting just a bit bigger thanks to the ADORABLE NEW Dooney & Bourke Winnie the Pooh items that will be released soon!

Last year, Disney made the decision to cancel the 2020 Star Wars Rival Run weekend in March. Events continued to be canceled or converted to virtual events through into the next year. Now, the 2021 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend will be held virtually — and the event won’t return in 2022.
Not too long ago, we were munching on delicious treats at the Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, and now we’ve moved on to holiday delights at the International Festival of the Holidays.
Spaceship Earth
But, in about a month we’ll be enjoying a totally different festival in EPCOT — the Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts! While we’re excited to hopefully taste and see some of our favorites from previous years, we’re also really excited to try some dishes from a BRAND NEW Food Booth that’ll be joining the festival in 2021.
There’s SO MUCH going on over at EPCOT right now!
Construction Walls in EPCOT
With the transformation of the park currently underway, we’re seeing construction walls everywhere! The park will soon be divided into four new neighborhoods, and we’ll get several new attractions like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. Along with these additions, we’re getting a new fireworks show, and today some of the new showpieces were moved into place in EPCOT!
Although it might not seem like it, some celebrities are JUST LIKE US!
Mickey Mouse
Sure, they eat at restaurants we can’t afford, have lives that are WAY bigger than ours, and release blinged-out Minnie ears that cost hundreds of dollars. But many of them are as obsessed with Disney as we are. And that makes them uber-cool. 😎
One of the biggest draws of EPCOT is its colorful World Showcase, where guests can travel around the world in a day!
Morocco Pavilion
But some big changes are happening over at the Morocco Pavilion: Disney will take over operations of the pavilion from its current operating participants. And this is set to happen by the end of the year.
Whew! The Walt Disney Company’s Investor Day was full of Disney entertainment news!
