food IS a theme park
Disney World had BIG plans for 2021 and beyond.
Spaceship Earth
We’ve seen loads of progress on some projects, like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT. But others have gotten swept under the rug. What’s going on with Spaceship Earth, Roundup Rodeo BBQ, and more? Here’s what we know about 10 Disney projects that are still up in the air.
There are TONS of Disney movies that are represented with their own attractions in the Disney Parks.
Cinderella Castle
But have you ever wished for an attraction based on that one movie that you LOVE even though it’s underrated? Well, we asked YOU, our readers, to tell us which Disney movies deserve their own attractions!
There’s no denying it — 2020 has been quite the interesting year that brought about a LOT of changes all over the world, including at Walt Disney World.
Magic Kingdom
While you may be aware of some of the major changes that happened this year (like the temporary suspension of FastPass+ and fireworks), some other BIG changes have happened this year that you may have totally forgotten about. So, today, we’re breaking down 8 HUGE changes at Walt Disney World that happened this year which you may have totally forgotten about!
We’re SO excited for all the new things coming to EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth
Last week we learned LOTS of exciting details about many of these projects during the “EPCOT — The Magic of Possibility” presentation as part of D23’s Fantastic Worlds events. Disney shared news about Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, Harmonious, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, and more! Not too long after that, Disney shared a press release on their website about the EPCOT transformation as well. And while this was all super exciting, we couldn’t help but notice a few things were missing. But we were also excited to see that a few things we haven’t heard about in a while were still mentioned. Let’s break it all down.
We’ve been hard at work scoping out all the latest news for you this week. Today we have all the details on the reopening of all the Disney World theme parks and MORE!

See all of our coverage on Disney park closures and reopenings HERE. We still have a LOT to share with you this week, so let’s jump right in… .
Walt Disney World has been making cuts, delaying construction projects, and making health and safety changes around the parks recently.
Cinderella Castle
This week alone, Disney made an official statement that the Spaceship Earth renovation and the new Mary Poppins attraction are being postponed. We just learned three new attractions that will allegedly close permanently.
The Disney Parks have officially reopened, but we’re still feeling the ripples of the closures.
EPCOT
We’ve been hanging out around EPCOT today checking out everything that’s changed since we were last here AND the 2020 Taste of EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. One hidden change we found was in the EPCOT Experience where the Spaceship Earth refurbishment and the upcoming Mary Poppins attraction have been removed from the “coming soon” video. Now, Disney has issued a statement about these two attractions.
UPDATE: According to Attractions Magazine, Disney has issued the following statement relating to the two attractions: “As with most businesses during this period, we are further evaluating long-term project plans. The decision was made to postpone development of [the] ‘Mary Poppins’-inspired attraction and Spaceship Earth at this time.”
We’re live from the grand reopening of EPCOT in Walt Disney World!
Epcot Experience Sign
Prior to closing, EPCOT had announced a huge overhaul to the theme park. EPCOT would get a new look and add attractions like the Moana-inspired Journey of Water and a new PLAY! Pavilion with interactive experiences and characters. The new attractions and overhaul is displayed in the EPCOT Experience video. Today, we noticed something huge missing from the EPCOT Experience video. Well, TWO huge somethings missing from the video! [Read more…]
