food IS a theme park
We’ve been keeping a close eye on the construction over at Magic Kingdom!
Main Street, U.S.A.
With Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary quickly approaching, quite a few areas around property have been getting a little spiffying up. One of those is Main Street Confectionery! This spot is closed in March for a pretty lengthy refurb, and we’ve been watching the progress from afar. And today, we noticed a BIG change!
EPCOT is getting a MAJOR transformation, and so much of the park is or has been under construction over the past year or so.
This pavilion is so underrated!
Even World Showcase has seen some construction — most notably in France with the Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure attraction being built. But Morocco has been seeing some work getting done, too, especially now that Disney has taken over ownership of the pavilion.
In the last year, we’ve seen a lot of “sprucing up” going on around the Walt Disney World parks, but especially in Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella Castle getting work done for the 50th Anniversary.
Cinderella Castle got a new paint job and now she’s getting additional decorations for the 50th Anniversary. We also noticed repainting happening at the parking entrance for the TTC and several classic attractions are getting golden touch-ups. Today, we spotted another place in the park where there’s some painting going on, and we took some photos to share with you!
Lots of changes have been made or are coming to spots all over EPCOT.
Ah, The Morocco Pavilion!
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and La Creperie de Paris are set to open this year, construction has continued at the Guardians of the Galaxy Coaster, and more is happening with the EPCOT Transformation. Big changes have also come to the Morocco Pavilion, which has been taken over by Disney. And today we spotted something VERY different there.
The 2021 Taste of EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival begins TOMORROW at EPCOT!
Flower and Garden 2021
We’ve been seeing hints of this spring fest around EPCOT for WEEKS now, from menu sightings to topiaries and subtle things in Living With the Land.
EPCOT’s seen lots of construction lately.
EPCOT
While reinstallation of the Leave a Legacy panels just finished, there’s still walls up around projects like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, and more. But today, we noticed some progress. EPCOT’s park icon was lookin’ just a little different!
There’s quite a bit of refurbishment going on around Disney World right now or scheduled to take place in the next few months.
Magic Kingdom
From attractions to hotel pools, a lot of things are being spruced up. Today, when we visited Magic Kingdom we noticed that some work was also being done at one of the park’s most classic attractions.
We certainly had a pleasant surprise today!
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Area in the France Pavilion
We were strolling through EPCOT this morning when we spotted that part of the France Expansion was OPEN. Of course, we headed right in to show you part of the new area, but we’re also taking a closer look at the new restroom that is now open here!
If you’ve been following the Disney World happenings recently, you’re probably waiting patiently for news of the France Expansion and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in EPCOT.
France Expansion
Well, we’ve got a pretty BIG update today as we got to head inside part of the new area for the first time today. That’s right, some construction walls are DOWN in EPCOT’s France Pavilion Expansion!
Last year, Disney confirmed that Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and La Creperie de Paris will be opening in 2021 at EPCOT’s France pavilion.
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Sign Lit Up
We’ve already seen the area that will house the ride and restaurant move along with its construction, we’ve gotten a peek at the inside of the attraction, and more. Today, it looks like we’re one step CLOSER to visiting this new area, as construction walls near Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure have come down!
