    Disney World Continues Park-Wide Replacement, Another EPCOT Area Affected

    Five more sets of solar-powered trash cans just landed near Mission: SPACE at EPCOT. Zero theming on any of them. Some context. Look, for the past several weeks, the entire trash can story has been that Disney finally started theming these things. That was the arc. The first solar bins rolled out in June, looking like something straight out of a municipal supply catalog, and fans were extremely vo

    There is a new cars play table inside Test Track Gear Shop at EPCOT. Five cars, including Lightning McQueen. Some context. Look, EPCOT has never been the easy park for little kids. That is not an insult, just reality. The place was built around ideas, and ideas do not hold a four-year-old's attention for very long. World Showcase is a walk. Spaceship Earth is slow. Every real thrill has a height r

    Walt Disney World Bringing Jason Kelce, Whoopi Goldberg, and More to EPCOT

    Planning a holiday visit to EPCOT just got a little easier. Disney has released most of the 2026 Candlelight Processional celebrity narrator schedule while also revealing dining package prices for this year's event. The combination gives guests two decisions to make: who do they want to see, and how much are they willing to spend to guarantee a seat? With dining packages ranging from $43 to $109 p

    EPCOT Closure: Disney World Updates Guests on Incoming Shutdown

    Disney World has issued more information on the closure. EPCOT has been under construction, reinvention, or some combination of both for years now. It hasn't gotten the recent headline-grabbing overhauls that Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, or Hollywood Studios have seen, but it's still very much part of Disney's ongoing park-wide refresh. The arrival of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in 20

    Disney's Beach Club just added another refurbishment. The lobby this time. And that is not even the one you should care about. Some context. Look, finding a Walt Disney World Resort hotel without a construction wall on it right now is genuinely hard. Maintenance cycles, deferred work catching up, bigger reimaginings, take your pick. Crescent Lake has been busy. The monorail loop has been busy. The
