The Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros will close for refurbishment in January 2025. The last day of operations for the boat ride at EPCOT will be Sunday, January 5. On Monday, January 6, the ride will close, likely for a refurbishment. A set reopening time has yet to be announced. The official Walt Disney World website lists the attraction as closed through at least February 10 – the furthest date available for guests to view on the attraction calendar. The Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros is a slow-moving boat ride past some of the most famous sights and cities in Mexico. Hilarity and hijinks ensue as Panchito and José Carioca, the other two members of The Three Caballeros, go on a mission to find Donald as he’s disappeared somewhere south of the border.

Walt Disney World has announced the dates for the 2025 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, which celebrates 30 years next year.

Just recently got back from a 2 day trip to enjoy the festival and had a great time. Wanted to share this picture I took. Would've shared more, but reddit wouldn't upload them.

Hope all you World Travelers enjoy!

I turn 21 on Sunday and on Monday im going to Epcot to celebrate. What drinks do you guys recommend?

My family (M44, F40, F12, F8) will be making our first visit to Epcot on NYE. I'd love any tips or suggestions from vets of what we need to prioritize. The park is open til 1 am. Is there a best place to watch the fireworks that we should stake out? What are your favorite foods (we love everything weird) that are a decent value? When might be optimal times to hit the best rides? Thank you all.

I have been asking myself if space 220 and Test track could be considered in the spirit of vintage Epcot

Crews have installed supports for the new Test Track entrance overhang at EPCOT. The ground directly in front of the building is still largely exposed dirt. The dirt has been cleaned up some and now scaffolding is in front of the main entrance. As well the sign is removed! Six new v-shaped support structures have been installed on concrete blocks in front of the entrance. These will support the new overhang, which will curve out from below the exterior track. Dark tarps hang over parts of the scaffolding. They reach several feet above the construction walls.

The new Spaceship Earth lounge at EPCOT will open in the first half of 2025. Disney stated the lounge will open right before the summer of 2025. The lounge takes over the former Siemens corporate lounge space attached to Spaceship Earth, overlooking World Celebration. The lounge will feature geometric shapes inspired by Spaceship Earth as well as rich textures and warm metallic tones. It draws from the stories, shapes, and enduring legacy of the icon. Disney previously described it as a “zen space for families to gather and enjoy refreshments.”

While Josh Gad was visiting Walt Disney World as a celebrity narrator for the 2024 Candlelight Processional at the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, he spoke for Disney fans everywhere with his social media posting: Journey Into Imagination With Figment is not an attraction worthy of the park’s mascot, Figment. He said the following on his instagram: “Hey @waltdisneyimagineering 📞 me. We need to give this guy the ride update he deserves. 🙏”.

I'm going to Epcot this weekend with our toddler and baby for a birthday celebration. Any tips or advice for making the best of it for my toddler? There will be 4 adults and the 2 kiddos. We don't expect to go on a lot of the rides but definitely hoping to hit the frozen ride and the ratatouille ride. And our toddler will love meeting any characters she can!

I recently learned that Peter Quill ( aka Star lord ) is meeting at Epcot. Apparently he has been meeting at Epcot since September 29th this year. so if it is true comment down below ( by the way i will be going the second weekend of December).

Disney has decked the (CommuniCore) Hall with festive decor for the 2024 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays.

Gingerbread Spaceship Earth: Gingerbread Spaceship Earth is eight feet tall and took the pastry team more than 160 hours to craft. The creation was made using:

• 240 pounds of honey dough
• 100 eggs
• 100 ounces of lebkuchen spice
• 55 pounds of dark chocolate
• 100 pounds of royal icing

At the nearby Experimental Prototype Cookies of Tomorrow holiday kitchen, guests can purchase a Spaceship Earth tile gingerbread triangle just like the ones used to make this edible version of the EPCOT park icon. Almost 1,000 triangles make up the geodesic sphere. There are 11 hidden Mickeys, each representing one of the World Showcase pavilions. After a Celebration Countdown, presented by CITIZEN, the gingerbread Spaceship Earth lights up with a small show set to music much like the real Spaceship Earth does at night. The show is presented every 10 minutes.

Glittering Grove: Sponsored by Balsam Hill, Glittering Grove is “an enchanting forest of twinkling trees” inside CommuniCore Hall. Balsam Hill is a company that sells realistic-looking artificial trees and other holiday decor. They’ve sponsored the Glittering Grove which is comprised of their trees.

CommuniCore Hall Decorations: As with the Food & Wine Festival, the Hall also serves as a pop-up shop with festival merchandise and Scentsy products. Even the tables got a little decoration, with round tables covered in a snowflake pattern, and square tables sporting a repeating pattern of snowflakes, presents, and more!

So for those that are curious about the new Figment Sweater, there is no hoodie part. It's just a normal sweater, just like how it's based off from the Figment Animatronic.
