food IS a theme park
Our weekly visit to Epcot includes a bunch of construction updates — including seeing part of the track for the new Guardians of the Galaxy ride!
Hello from Epcot — and the Guardians of the Galaxy Ride!
The Guardians of the Galaxy ride isn’t the only thing going on Epcot right now, there’s also the addition of the Ratatouille Ride in the France Pavilion, TWO brand new restaurants, prep work for the new nighttime show, and more must-have merchandise!
As construction continues on the Guardians of the Galaxy attraction coming to Epcot, fans of the film franchise can enjoy a Guardians experience in the park in the meantime. Because this summer, Guardians of the Galaxy — Awesome Mix Live! will return to Epcot!
