What’s New at EPCOT: An Updated Park Map With Important CHANGES

Welcome back to EPCOT, DFB readers!

Spaceship Earth in EPCOT

There have been a lot of updates in this park. EPCOT Forever fireworks have returned to the park (and we saw some pretty unusual crowds at the reopening too), and we recently got another look inside Journey of Water with Bob Iger. But that’s not all! Let’s see what’s new in EPCOT.

EPCOT Food Updates

Club Cool has had some trouble this past week. A few days ago, the only option was most people’s least favorite — Beverly!

Beverly was the ONLY option!

But on a more recent trip, a few more flavors had returned to Club Cool, so you can try other options from around the world!

More flavors are back!

Can you hear us sighing in relief?

EPCOT Construction Updates

Construction is still going strong at Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana. During recent visits, more construction vehicles seemed to be on-site to finish the final details inside the attraction.

World Celebration also continues to see lots of work. That area is set to be finished by the end of the year.

Communicore Hall Construction

The EPCOT parking lot construction also seems to be moving forward, with lots of dirt being moved around.

Working on the parking lot!

During a recent visit, we were surprised to see the waterfall turned off in the Canada Pavilion.

No waterfall!

If you were hoping for a family photo at this iconic spot, just know that it may not always be on and as spectacular as you expected.
