Disney’s Parks and Resorts Panel had some major news, but some of the biggest came to Epcot. The Experimental Prototype City of Tomorrow is getting an overhaul, which is aiming to keep it true to the original concept, while making it more timeless and more Disney.
So what is in store for the new and improved EPCOT?
The park will celebrate it’s 35th anniversary in October, and there are some major happenings for the future.
In France, Ratatouille will dazzle guests with an all new attraction. The attraction will take guests through the film as they shrink down to the size of a rat as Remy will take them through a new 4D adventure.
An all new, seamless Circle Vision film will be coming to China. The new film will be the next step in Circle Vision.

This means Ellens Energy Encounter will close, and will close rather quickly, as the ride will shutter it’s time travels to the past on August 13th.
AT D23 EXPO 2017, DISNEY PARKS CHAIRMAN BOB CHAPEK ANNOUNCES A NEW RESTAURANT COMING TO EPCOT — Adjacent to Mission: SPACE will be a new restaurant that will invite guests to travel high above the earth for an unforgettable dining experience.
