The park is stretching its 50th anniversary celebration over 18 months, running until spring 2023. It is filled with Disney music in multiple languages and includes large-scale floats, LED panels, fountains, lights, fireworks and lasers. To end the night, Epcot has a new show in its lagoon called Harmonious. Riders are “shrunk” to mouse size and go on a swerving adventure through Gusteau’s Parisian restaurant from the Pixar hit Ratatouille.


Originally slated to open in 2020, the trackless ride with no height limitation finally opened in October of last year. The park has completed an expansion of the France pavilion that includes a creperie and the new ride Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. The restaurant has a prix fixe menu of $35 for lunch and $60 for dinner. There’s a new outer space-themed eatery, Space 220, where visitors board a special “space elevator” that appears to ascend to the stars with an aerial view of Epcot. Next to the Guardians ride is the new Connections Cafe, a huge quick-service eatery located adjacent to the new Creations Shop and the Walt Disney statue Dreamers Point, a “reimagining of the front of the park and the entry experience,” the park announced.

The steel tracks make for a super-smooth trip that can make you feel like you are floating in outer space as pop music plays in the speakers and actors from the Guardians movie talk you through the mission. The sheer size of the building is impressive - it could fit four Spaceship Earths. It is also Epcot’s first roller coaster, and it’s a big one. The big opening this spring was Disney World’s first Marvel attraction, the new coaster Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. But most of that is still behind those construction walls. Major upgrades are coming to the park, especially in front around the globe Spaceship Earth, where a new park entry will have a redesigned hub, an event space and bandshell.

The most obvious change at Epcot is the construction walls. Here’s what you can find this summer at Walt Disney World. After postponing construction on many features, Disney is now rolling them out with gusto for 2022.
