food IS a theme park
Epcot is getting a HUGE makeover over the next few years with its incredible transformation.

And we’re just at the start of all the construction happening around the park. Buuuut, there is something new that’s been finished (and something new in progress next door!).
With so much breaking news out of Disney World recently, we know it’s hard to keep everything straight — especially opening dates!Â

That’s why we’ve put together this complete list of every Disney World attraction opening in 2020!
It looks like Epcot’s Electric Umbrella might not be folding up as soon as we’d originally thought!

And while the rest of Future World is undergoing heavy construction right now, it seems the much-loved quick-service restaurant has escaped the chopping block — at least, for now!
Things got real weird one morning in October when we noticed the Gourmet Popcorn Cart in Epcot’s Future World was strangely empty!

While we tried not to hyperventilate, a Disney World Cast Member assured us we could still get the deliciously-flavored snack, but we’d have to travel to the Epcot Experience exhibit to get it.
BUT NOW all is right with the world, and it appears the gourmet popcorn has magically returned from whence it came!
Epcot is in the midst of a very exciting transformation!
Epcot’s Spaceship Earth
This multi-year makeover includes the full reimagining of Future World, exciting new attractions, and even new dining options.
With all the exciting attractions, restaurants, and MORE popping up in the parks with the Epcot Transformation, we definitely need some coffee to get through the day.

And, even though we’ve had to say goodbye to the Fountain View Starbucks (you’ll be missed), another location is officially making its way into Epcot for all your caffeine needs!
Hey everybody! It’s time for this week’s roundup of What’s New in Epcot!
Spaceship Earth
This is our weekly magic journey around this Disney World park to see what new construction, food, and merch we can spot!
There’s been A LOT of Epcot news to digest lately (along with all that delicious Festival of the Holidays food we’ve been feasting on!).
Spaceship Earth
Last week we got to EXPERIENCE the coming soon Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along, and we also got more details on the upcoming Canada Far and Wide, Awesome Planet and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure attractions! And now, to the cheers of coffee-lovers everywhere, it seems like that new potential Starbucks location is progressing VERY quickly.
Epcot is transforming right before our very eyes!

You got it, folks. Epcot is undergoing a MAJOR transformation over the next few years and the evidence is clear in the park. With construction, new shows coming soon, and more construction, it’s hard to keep up with all the changes. Well, one piece of the transformation is complete today and that’s the new Camera Center and Pin Traders merch shop!
Are you ready to see Epcot undergo its MAJOR transformation?
