food IS a theme park
We did it(?!)
CommuniCore Hall
For roughly a month, CommuniCore Hall has been open at EPCOT, and many have been… erm… to put it nicely, questioning its value. However, we think we may have figured out some positive uses for the space.
We have some BIG news regarding a fan-favorite EPCOT attraction.
Test Track
Disney is already working on a Country Bear Jamboree makeover in Magic Kingdom, and a beloved EPCOT attraction is meeting the same fate.
EPCOT is looking PRETTY different!
EPCOT
From a new entrance area to new attractions, and more; the EPCOT Transformation is in full swing. We’ve been doing all of our shopping in a temporary Mouse Gear for a while, and now we know WHEN the BIG new EPCOT store will open!

The Most Magical Place on Earth celebrates HALF A CENTURY on October 1st and there are lots of ways to celebrate. There will be a new fireworks show and cavalcade in Magic Kingdom, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure will finally open, a new daytime show is coming to Animal Kingdom, 9 more Food and Wine Festival booths are opening in EPCOT, and SO MUCH MORE! We’re especially looking forward to the new decorations on Cinderella Castle, including the lights that will turn all 4 park icons into “Beacons of Magic.” And now, we’ve got our FIRST GLIMPSE of the new lighting on Spaceship Earth!
We’ve seen some major changes at EPCOT recently.

As the park’s transformation continues, we’re looking forward to the opening of brand-new rides and restaurants — and even a new fireworks show! Now, Disney’s announced that a new SHOP is on the way, and it’s gonna be a big deal.
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!
Okay, we’ve already heard a TON about Disney World’s 50th anniversary today.

We now know “The World’s Most Magical Celebration” will start on October 1st, 2021 and last for 18 months! We’ve seen how the parks will transform into “Beacons of Light,” and we’ve taken a peek at Mickey and Minnie’s new custom costumes. But with all this exciting news, maybe you missed a small detail: one of the 50th anniversary additions will become PERMANENT.
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is a new attraction coming to EPCOT in 2021!

We’ve been keeping track of all the France pavilion construction updates. The EPCOT expansion is getting for its debut and the attraction will open next year for guests to experience. Disney has given a peek inside the attraction and a closer look at the expanded pavilion!
EPCOT is getting a major transformation with a reimagined look, attractions, and more enhancements!
EPCOT Ticket Booths
As part of the transformation, Imaginers have created a new color scheme that will be highlighted on shops, structures, and paint jobs around the theme park. We’ve already seen the new design and colors appear on the newly painted ticket booths and construction walls. The new theme has started to move more buildings around the park!
