More details revealed on the Transformation of Epcot

More details revealed on the Transformation of Epcot. Disney has released a slew of information on the epic Transformation of Epcot. Check out the images and information below.

Walt Disney once said EPCOT “would always be in a state of becoming” as a place that changes with the times. The Walt Disney World Resort theme park is delivering on that promise in a whole new way as it continues the biggest transformation in its history, bringing the next generation of immersive storytelling to life through a plethora of new attractions and experiences.

EPCOT is now unified with four neighborhoods, each speaking to important aspects of the world
and its people: World Showcase, World Celebration, World Nature, and World Discovery. These
neighborhoods are filled with new experiences rooted in authenticity and innovation that take
guests to new destinations, where the real is made fantastic in a celebration of curiosity,
discovery and the magic of possibility.

World Celebration

• World Celebration offers new experiences that connect guests to one another and the
the world around them.
• The EPCOT entrance plaza welcomes guests with open pathways and sweeping green
spaces that beautify the entryway. Bridging the past, present, and future of EPCOT is a
new fountain at the base of Spaceship Earth with three majestic pylons. The entrance
plaza also features new lighting and music, as well as flags flanking the fountain
featuring six original EPCOT icons.
• Spaceship Earth transforms at night into a Beacon of Magic with new lights shining
across the geodesic sphere’s reflective panels.* These lights connect to one another in a
symbol of optimism resembling stars in a nighttime sky.
• The new Connections Café and Eatery is home to a quick-service dining location as
well as Starbucks coffee. With show kitchens and a variety of seating options, this new
dining option encourages guests to connect with one another over food and drinks.
Adding to the park’s rich legacy of original art displays, Connections Eatery features a
hand-painted mural stretching more than 160 feet along the back wall, celebrating how
food is cultivated around the world.

Mickey Mouse. The merchandise location features a bold, sleek design for an open,
bright, welcoming environment with large glass walls allowing sunlight to pour in. Artistic
homages to Mickey are throughout the shop, including large, dynamic murals that tap
into the park’s original artistic spirit.

drinks from around the world, bringing the global experience of Coca-Cola to life through

statue honoring the legacy of the original dreamer, Walt Disney, plus beautiful natural
environments and global design elements filled with Disney magic.

World Discovery
• In World Discovery, stories about science, technology, and intergalactic adventure come
to life.
• Opening May 27, 2022, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is the first “otherworld” showcase pavilion at EPCOT. The family-thrill coaster adventure starts in the Galaxarium is a planetarium-like exhibition that explores the similarities and mysteries of the formation of Earth’s galaxy and Xandar. Guests learn more about the technologies Xandar has to share – until Eson the Celestial arrives and guests must help the Guardians of the Galaxy save the universe on an intergalactic chase through time and space. The attraction is one of the longest fully enclosed coasters in the world, and each vehicle rotates 360 degrees to focus guests on the action, including the first reverse launch on a Disney coaster.
• In an expansion of the Mission: SPACE pavilion, the new Space 220 Restaurant is a culinary experience offering the celestial panorama of a space station, including virtual daytime and nighttime views of Earth from 220 miles above the planet’s surface. Guests board a space elevator for a simulated journey to the Centauri Space Station, where they experience the “height of dining.” Once they arrive, guests enjoy meals and drinks while taking in views that are truly out of this world. Space 220 is operated by the Patina Restaurant Group.

World Showcase
• World Showcase continues to be a celebration of culture, cuisine, architecture and
traditions – infused with new magic.
• An expanded France pavilion features the new Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure
attraction, where guests feel as if they shrink to the size of Chef Remy and race through
Gusteau’s restaurant. Joining this family-friendly experience in the France pavilion is a
a delicious new restaurant, La Crêperie de Paris, offers both table and quick-service
options and a menu from celebrity chef Jérôme Bocuse.
• Also in the France pavilion, the classic “Impressions de France” film is joined by
“Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along,” directed by Don Hahn, producer of both the
animated and live-action versions of this tale as old as time.
• “Harmonious” is one of the largest nighttime spectaculars ever created for a Disney
theme park. Happening on and over World Showcase Lagoon, the show celebrates the
way Disney music inspires people the world over, carrying them away on a stream of
familiar songs reinterpreted by a culturally diverse group of 240 artists from around the
globe. “Harmonious” features massive floating set pieces, custom-built LED panels,
choreographed moving fountains, lights, pyrotechnics, lasers, and more.
• Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue is a fast-casual restaurant at The
American Adventure pavilion, serving classic American backyard barbecue and homestyle craft brews. The restaurant takes its name from Sam Eagle; the beloved Muppet
hosts a centennial cook-off – a salute to all cook-offs … but mostly barbecue.

World Nature
• World Nature is dedicated to understanding and preserving the beauty, awe, and balance
of the natural world. It includes The Land and The Seas with Nemo & Friends pavilions,
as well as the forthcoming Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana.
• The Land pavilion film “Awesome Planet” showcases the beauty, diversity, and dynamic
story of Earth. The 10-minute show features in-theater effects and an original musical
score from Academy Award®-winning composer Steven Price.
• Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana will be the first Disney Parks experience evoking
the hit Walt Disney Animation Studios film. This lush exploration trail will invite guests to
meet and play with magical, living water. Just like Moana’s friend the ocean, water will
have a personality of its own, helping guests learn how to protect the natural water cycle
in a fun and engaging way.
