food IS a theme park
We’ve been reporting from EPCOT to share the ever-changing details regarding food, merchandise, and construction with you guys.

And we’re back today to do just that. Fair warning: we spotted lots of new changes and additions, so get ready!!
We are in a constant state of anticipation for the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy rollercoaster in EPCOT.
Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is a new coaster that’s set to open sometime before Disney World’s 50th Anniversary next year. We were pumped to see progress recently, and now we know what they might be working on!
There are a lot of upcoming Disney rides that have us excited.

One that we’re DEFINITELY looking forward to is Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT! Of course, the closure of Disney World brought with it a construction halt; that’s why we were so excited to see progress on the ride building today!
Even WITHOUT the historic four month-long closures, Disney World has had their hands full with upcoming construction projects. With Disney World’s 50th Anniversary coming up in 2021 and EPCOT going through a massive transformation ahead of its 40th Anniversary in in 2022, several ambitious new attractions are in the works!

Let’s take a few moments to catch up on everything we know so far about these projects, including when we think each one should be completed!
If you’re like us, you’re looking forward to some of the rollercoasters that are coming to Disney World.

Between Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and TRON Lightcycle Run, we almost have more excitement than we can handle! Now, a Disney patent we recently spotted might give us some insight into Disney’s newest roller coaster attractions. Check out this entirely new coaster ride system!
We are super hyped for all the things coming as a part of the epic EPCOT transformation.

While we may not be setting foot in EPCOT again until July 15th, Disney is still making progress on its new attractions and experiences in the parks. And, we’ve got some groovy news for all you Guardians of the Galaxy fans out there!
A lot is changing in and around Disney World right now as some stores and restaurants have recently reopened in Disney Springs and Disney World’s official reopening date has been announced.

But that’s not all that’s been happening lately. As many of you know, last week Disney World said they would be reopening with a brand new reservation system which meant they needed pause ticket sales and hotel reservations temporarily.
As you may very well know, Disney World is temporarily closed. This comes as a crazy time as Disney was gearing up for their BIG 50th anniversary. In celebration of this monumental time in Disney’s history, Disney has announced and begun work on many new attractions, restaurants, and even a hotel. Most of these were set to open BEFORE October 2021. But during this closure, it has been revealed that in-park construction projects are currently at a standstill.
