EPCOT‘s 40th Anniversary is quickly approaching!

So far we’ve seen a sneak peek at the new merchandise coming soon but not much else has been revealed. The park is in the midst of a huge transformation, so we’ve been keeping up with all the EPCOT news and sharing it with you the moment we hear about it. It’s just been announced that select D23 members have an exclusive way they can celebrate the big day in the parks on October 1st!

D23 Gold Members can enter EPCOT for the special celebration starting at 7:30AM for priority park check-in. Then enjoy the park how they wish before meeting fellow EPCOT lovers for a D23 Member Mixer and continental breakfast at World ShowPlace from 9:30-10:45AM. Then, explore EPCOT how you wish, and enjoy priority entrance to Living with the Land all day!

The event includes complimentary park admission, a park pass reservation, and parking, as well as a $25 Disney Gift Card, exclusive event credentials, and exclusive entry to World ShowPlace for D23 Member Mixer.

D23 Members will be required to provide their membership number and the names of the guests attending when reserving tickets, and guests under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Tickets go on sale Wednesday, September 21st at 1PM EST, so be ready to grab your tickets before they sell out!

While you’re in the park celebrating, Annual Passholders can get an exclusive drink, anyone can grab some incredible tacos to celebrate Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month, and you can see all the construction process in the park for yourself. Stay tuned to DFB for all the latest EPCOT Anniversary news!
