Disney’s EPCOT Welcoming New Rides In World Showcase? Here’s What We Know

As it follows Walt Disney’s legacy and wishes, Walt Disney World Resort is ever-evolving and changing. Walt Disney Imagineering is always pushing the limits, creating bigger, better, and more immersive attractions.

Recently, EPCOT has undergone a historical transformation, taking the theme park and totally revamping what used to be ‘Future World’ into new areas: World Celebration, World Discovery, and World Nature.

World Nature is still receiving a new attraction as Walt Disney Imagineering puts the finishing touches on Journey of Water Inspired By Moana, which will end the Disney Park’s historical transformation.

However, there’s reason to believe that the theme park will receive more changes soon. But this time, they’ll take place in the World Showcase pavilion.
