food IS a theme park
Ah, EPCOT. Home of the giant glowing ball (aka Spaceship Earth), delicious food booths, the Soarin’ attraction…and weekend crowds.
Now THAT’s an entrance!
Now that the holiday season is here (!!!) and travel restrictions are being lifted around the world, Disney World has been seeing longer lines and higher wait times. On our way into EPCOT today, we definitely felt the impacts of these changes. Take a look at the crowd level on this sunny Sunday!
EPCOT is a seriously picturesque park.
Spaceship Earth Among the Flowers
Right now, the park is filled with impressive and eye-catching topiaries and gardens as part of the 2021 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival. But today, we spotted something absolutely stunning that YOU can see too, but only if you catch it at the right time.
EPCOT’s reimagined park entrance is lookin’ snazzy!
Hello, you beautiful fountain
While the new main entrance fountain debuted several months ago, we’re still seeing some work being done in the area! The Leave a Legacy panels that once stood here have been reinstalled in a brand-new location, and we’re looking forward to a mini-transformation of Spaceship Earth’s exterior. But today, MORE finishing touches have been added!
As you likely know, EPCOT is currently in the midst of a MASSIVE transformation.
Construction in Future World
In addition to the new rides coming to the park, like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, we’re also expecting a new nighttime spectacular, Harmonious. There are also plans to add some new buildings and features to the park, making it more eye-catching. Part of this plan includes an updated park entrance, and we got some details on the fountain coming to that area today!
As you’re probably aware EPCOT is in the midst of a pretty major transformation.
Epcot Entrance
The transformation includes the reworking of much of Future World, some enhancements around World Showcase, and the reimagining of the EPCOT Main Entrance. We’re super excited to see what the design of these areas will look like and now, thanks to a Walt Disney Imagineer, we have a sneak peek of the brand-new Main Entrance Fountain!
