If you’ve ever rope-dropped EPCOT, you might have noticed almost everyone heads in one direction — straight to Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. This is a fan favorite ride, and honestly, we’re totally in on the hype. “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” and “September”? Say less.
It’s definitely a team favorite here, but the preshow isn’t necessarily everyone’s favorite. You’re packed into a room where a lot of people will push towards the next door to get on the ride faster, and other guests like to yell out during a short gap in the preshow. Well, a new change has hit the ride, and while guests still might be pushing towards the exit, at least you don’t have to hear someone yell “alcoholics.”
Previously in the video with Terry Crews, he is trying to figure out what the names are for people who live in EPCOT, you know, EPCOT-ians, Citizens of EPCOT, that sorta thing. Crews asks someone off camera, “Does anyone know what they call themselves?” When he’s asking this, guests in the room like to yell out some off-brand words like “alcoholics” or “drunks” in reference to people who choose to Drink Around the World.
While some might have found it amusing, most of us groan after hearing the joke a hundred times and how it doesn’t quite fit the Disney World aesthetic. Disney just changed the preshow to close the gap, eliminating the chance for guests to yell out their own answers.
Disney World is always changing, but this isn’t the only one at EPCOT. Right now, it’s the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, and four new booths recently opened, a few weeks after the initial start date. We were pretty obsessed with the Warm Raclette Swiss Cheese on Baguette at The Alps, and it was a total hit for us.
CommuniCore Hall has also turned into Cheers to Cheese with The Wedge booth, which is full of mac and cheeses, a cheese board, and small exhibits around the room to learn about cheese. Honestly, who could ask for more?
We’re always looking for new changes at Disney World, so keep following the Disney Food Blog for more news you need to know before your next vacation.
