food IS a theme park
We were in quite the line of folks shuffling to get into Epcot this morning!
Epcot Entrance
Yup, Christmas week is HERE big time, meaning HELLO crowds! And as we made our way in, we noticed Epcot’s main entrance had undergone a MAJOR overhaul since we’d seen it last!
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Epcot!

And, we’ve got LOTS of construction, merchandise, food, and entertainment to share with you! So, let’s dive right on in!
Winter is almost here and the temps in Central Florida have been dropping down to a positively frigid 50 degrees. Brrrrr. 😉
Epcot’s Festival of the Holidays
You may be thinking the cold never bothered me anyway, but if it does…We have JUST the thing to warm you up! Remember how we spotted all those MEGA cool adult onesies in Magic Kingdom recently? Well, we just found ANOTHER one and it might be our new faaaaavorite!
UPDATE: Disney previously announced Spaceship Earth would be closing May 26th, 2020! After closing for the COVID-19 pandemic, this project was put on hold. We will share more if and when we learn more about this overhaul.
If you were unsettled by the news that Spaceship Earth would be undergoing refurbishment as part of Epcot’s major transformation, at the D23 Expo this year, trust us, you’re not alone.
Epcot’s Spaceship Earth
It frankly rocked our worlds to imagine what this could mean for the iconic geodesic sphere that’s graced the front entranceway of Epcot since the second Disney World park opened in 1982.
We’re officially one month away from the opening of the Skyliner Gondola System in Disney World, only four months away from Christmas, AND in the midst of Epcot’s HUGE transformation.
Days of Christmas
And, what better way is there to celebrate all three than with new ornaments in Disney Springs?!
One of the most exciting announcements at the D23 Expo today has been the reveal of a “fresh new journey” for Epcot’s Future World, a journey that will transform the Park and tap into “the magic of possibility.”
Welcome to Epcot!
Much of the original inspiration of Epcot will shine through in the new design, according to the announcement, and now we have more information on how Future World will be laid out. Get ready for three new “neighborhoods” in addition to World Showcase!
In 2021, Walt Disney World will turn fifty, and we can’t wait to see what kind of epic celebrations are planned for this special event! While we await the details, we thought about all the things we’d like to do at in the World before the big day — some big, some small, and most of them totally unique to the Most Magical Place on Earth!
