food IS a theme park
Welcome back to EPCOT!
Festival of the Arts
Yesterday was the last day of the International Festival of the Arts, so we visited EPCOT to celebrate! While we were there, we checked out some food updates and more. Let’s get started!
What do dinosaurs and rats have in common? They’re both INVADING EPCOT!
EPCOT
Don’t worry, that’s a good thing! With preparations underway for EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival and the opening of the new Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure attraction, we’re seeing some changes in EPCOT. Here’s everything new in food, construction, and merchandise!
The installation of EPCOT’s new Leave a Legacy panels continues!

Guests used to be able to take a picture that would be displayed on one of the Leave a Legacy monoliths. Tens of thousands of people participated before Leave a Legacy was temporarily removed from the park entrance as part of EPCOT’s reimagining. But now, the panels are being reinstalled at a new location just outside the park.
Hello to all our DFB Friends!
Spaceship Earth
We spent a day hanging around EPCOT to check on all the latest new things, so if you’re ready for some updates, here we go!
As part of the EPCOT Transformation, we’ve already seen a new fountain in the park’s entrance, lots of construction basically ALL OVER the park, some parts of the new nighttime spectacular, and more!

But now, it’s time for something old that is new again. Today, EPCOT’s entrance is looking VERY different because Leave A Legacy has returned!
The EPCOT Transformation is well underway and we’ve already seen some big changes around the park.

The new fountain in front of Spaceship Earth has opened, part of the expanded area for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure has also become accessible, and we’ve seen construction progressing on the new nighttime spectacular, the Guardians of the Galaxy ride, and more. And now, we’ve gotten a first look at a part of EPCOT’s past that’s been totally reimagined — Leave A Legacy!
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!
UPDATE: Disney has announced Spaceship Earth will be officially closing May 26th, 2020!
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.
Just one month ago today, we visited Epcot when the removal of the “Leave A Legacy” monoliths began as part of a transformation that is currently underway for the park’s entrance.
