We’ve shared a number of updates about the construction progress, the story of the ride, and other details, but now we’ve got even more information!
Welcome back to EPCOT, DFB readers!
Pooh says welcome back!
With crowds increasing in the parks thanks to spring breaks all across the nation, there’s a lot happening in Disney parks. Don’t worry though, we’re in the parks every day to keep you up-to-date, so here’s what you missed in EPCOT this past week!
We’re anticipating the opening of several big attractions in Disney World in the coming months!

First up will be TRON Lightcycle / Run at Magic Kingdom, followed by the completion of the EPCOT transformation and Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana later this year. But in 2024, we’ll be “goin’ down the bayou” with Tiana at Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom is BUSY right now — so much is going on.

A lot of that has to do with the new attraction TRON / Lightcycle Run, which opens in the park NEXT MONTH. We’ve already been on the ride (and it was WILD), and we’ve seen a new addition added to Tomorrowland at its exit. But we’ve got even MORE updates happening in Magic Kingdom, so let’s get to those!
Welcome back to EPCOT!
EPCOT
The Flower and Garden Festival is currently happening in the park and will be around until July 5th. We’ve already tried everything at the festival and have our best-of-the-fest list ready so you know what to grab when you visit. But there’s so much else happening in the parks too — come with us to check it all out!
Disney World is ALWAYS under some kind of construction — and that’s part of the reason we love it.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
There are always NEW things coming, like new restaurants, new rides, and even entirely new lands! Even EPCOT is getting a HUGE transformation. Over at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, a LOT of construction is going on, so let’s cruise on over there for the latest updates!
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn has been going through a lot of changes lately.

The resort lobby recently got a new coffee shop, newly refurbished rooms are underway, and there’s a NEW table service restaurant coming to the BoardWalk later this year! Now, there’s news of even more construction and closures coming to this resort that might affect your experience soon.
It’s been a pretty BIG week for EPCOT news!
EPCOT is welcoming in spring!
EPCOT is currently undergoing a lengthy transformation. New rides like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind have already debuted, but guests are still eagerly awaiting the arrival of spaces like CommuniCore Hall and Plaza as well as the upcoming attraction Journey of Water: Inspired by Moana. The park also has its seasonal changes in the form of festivals, and the next one on the slate is the Flower and Garden Festival!
If you haven’t been to EPCOT in a while, then you might be surprised by some of the big changes in the park!
EPCOT
In the past few years, EPCOT has added two new rides, multiple new restaurants, a new gift shop, and a reimagined Club Cool. But there’s so much more to come! The middle of the park is currently under construction as they add more new attractions and offerings, and we’re sharing an updated look at the construction progress.
We’re really starting to see — and hear — construction progress at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure!
