food IS a theme park
Welcome back to EPCOT!
Come on in!
We’ve been keeping an eye on the ride closures, special events, and everything in between in the park this past week. It can be a lot to keep up with, so here’s everything that’s happened in the past week!
If you love taking a behind-the-scenes look at all the things happening at Disney World, this post is for you!
Spaceship Earth
In case you missed it, the barges used for EPCOT’s Harmonious show are currently in the process of being removed, as that fireworks show was replaced by EPCOT Forever. So far, only one has been removed — the one closest to the Italy Pavilion. But… what happens to the barges once they’re removed? Where do they take them? Well, we found part of our answer!
Welcome back to EPCOT, everyone!
EPCOT
We’ve just begun to get tons of EPCOT Food & Wine Festival news, like the dates of the festival and what booths will be returning, and we know that the Eat To The Beat Concert series will also be returning. But there’s tons of other news from EPCOT this past week, so let’s review!
Welcome back to EPCOT, DFB readers!
Spaceship Earth in EPCOT
There have been a lot of updates in this park. EPCOT Forever fireworks have returned to the park (and we saw some pretty unusual crowds at the reopening too), and we recently got another look inside Journey of Water with Bob Iger. But that’s not all! Let’s see what’s new in EPCOT.
It’s time for another look at what’s new in EPCOT!
EPCOT
We’ve already spotted a recent change in one of EPCOT’s most popular stores and shared a warning about a new drink over in the Mexico pavilion, but there’s a lot more that’s happened in just the past few days — come with us to check it out!
EPCOT’s International Flower and Garden Festival is right around the corner!
Let The Fun Begin!
We’ve got a guide to the festival all ready for you, and have all the information we’ve gotten about the festival so far in one post for your convenience. While we’ve started to see the topiaries pop up all over the park, the booths weren’t looking very ready just yet — but now the menus have started popping up!
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!
Let’s head back into EPCOT, shall we?
Spaceship Earth
This park has a LOT going on right now — lots of construction is going on, the Festival of the Arts has ended, and the Flower and Garden Festival is right around the corner. Come with us to take a look at what’s new in EPCOT from this past week!
Only at Disney World is getting evacuated off a ride exciting! It seems that Disney just has a way of making the mundane magical, huh?
Spaceship Earth
Many guests treat the experience of a ride evacuation as a chance to take a one-of-a-kind backstage tour — witnessing all the ins and outs of their favorite ride in a way they’ve never seen them before! Most of these evacuations aren’t serious and can be caused by something as minor as a spill taking a while to be cleaned up or show elements like spotlights not working.
One of our readers was recently evacuated off Journey into Imagination with Figment! Thanks to DFB reader Beth M. for sending us these photos!
