Epcot isn't just for adults or thrill seekers—it's a park with something for everyone! 

EPCOT is just about to complete a multiyear transformation, concluding on June 10 as the final walls of World Celebration come down to reveal CommuniCore Hall and CommuniCore Plaza. With the addition of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Journey of Water Inspired by Moana, Connections Cafe, Connections Eatery, Creations Shop, Remy's Ratatouille Adventure, the Walt Disney "Walt The Dreamer" statue, and a revitalized World Celebration at the center of the front of the park, EPCOT looks transformed from a decade ago and continues to evolve from its opening day.   In this episode, we chat live from World Celebration to reflect on EPCOT as it has been transformed from its early days to today, discussing our earliest memories from the 1980s and 1990s, our recent memories from the 2000s, and our thoughts on the 2024 experience at the park.   What are your thoughts about EPCOT's transformation?

While Walt's dream for Epcot was never fully — or even close to fully realized, it's still a remarkable tribute to his original ideals; his spirit of discovery, his fascination with the future and its endless possibilities, and the invitation to celebrate that future together. And it happens to be my favorite Disney park. So I'm excited to have you come along with me for this first of two episodes where we explore and appreciate the Soundscapes of this wonderful place. Listen closely for the sounds of your own favorite areas. No on-attraction music will be featured in this episode, but I think you'll be able to place the location of most of what you hear. If not, you can always check the show notes which include time-stamps for the various areas we wander through. Now, Epcot is always evolving and, at the time of this recording, undergoing its biggest transformation. So, the Future World that you hear today is but a moment in time. And I'm thrilled to be able to share that moment with you right now.

This week, Kev is providing a spoiler free review of Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind and giving his thoughts on Epcot's all new Connections Cafe. Plus, news on Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, Magic Band+, World Celebration in Epcot, and MUCH MORE! 

Jeff and Sandy discuss their most recent dining experience at the new Connections.  Hear about the two unique experiences - the Connections Cafe aka the Starbucks location and the Connections Eatery for lunch and dinner.  Take a look into the two kitchens making the authentic liege waffles.   Enjoy standard fare from burgers and pizza to more unique options such as a curry spice vegan pizza and Bahni Mi burger with a miso marinate.  Be sure to mobile order to save yourselves time!

Four of the five attended a Annual Passholder preview event at Epcot for Disney's newest coaster, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.  If you don't want to be spoiled, don't worry; we sign post spoiler alerts in the episode.  In this episode we also review Connections Cafe and address the very controversial pizza slice size debate.  If you know, you know.

The new Connections Café and Eatery is home to a quick-service dining location as well as Starbucks coffee. With show kitchens and a variety of seating options, this new dining option encourages guests to connect with one another over food and drinks. Adding to the park's rich legacy of original art displays, Connections Eatery features a hand-painted mural stretching more than 160 feet along the back wall, celebrating how food is cultivated around the world. I had the opportunity to ask Imagineer Brianna Pfost about the details in the new Connections Café and Eatery https://youtu.be/9nIjg7Q6nrs

Walt Disney once said EPCOT “would always be in a state of becoming” as a place that changes with the times. The Walt Disney World Resort theme park is delivering on that promise in a whole new way as it continues the biggest transformation in its history, bringing the next generation of immersive storytelling to life through a plethora of new attractions and experiences. EPCOT is now unified with four neighborhoods, each speaking to important aspects of the world and its people: World Showcase, World Celebration, World Nature, and World Discovery. These neighborhoods are filled with new experiences rooted in authenticity and innovation that take guests to new destinations, where the real is made fantastic in a celebration of curiosity, discovery and the magic of possibility. World Celebration: Epcot Entrance Plaza, Beacon of Magic, Connections Cafe and Eatery, Creations Shop, Club Cool, Dreamers point World Discovery: Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, MIssion Space, Space 220 Restaurant World Nature: The Land, Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana, The Seas with Nemo and Friends https://youtu.be/RYIDvB4K8g0  

A centerpiece dining experience has been unveiled at Epcot this last week. Connections, located next to Creations (the gift shop), sits in what is ultimately to become World Celebration. This is the former Electric Umbrella, and before the Stargate Restaurant. But now it's much bigger, brighter, and fortunately tastier. It is two sided with one side dedicated to being a counter service restaurant, and the other side being a Starbucks cafe. I've had a chance during the last week to visit on three occasions, to include a shared visit with John Frost, owner of The Disney Blog, and a terrific friend. We connect (it's Connections after all) to look at a number of dishes and to talk all things Epcot. I also had a chance to visit with my daughter and later with my wife, and I share some of the culinary experiences we had to include not only the food, but the Cast, setting and processes. Join us as we review the dining experience at Epcot's Connections Cafe & Eatery.

Pam, Rikki, and Mike are here to hear all about Rikki's trip to Walt Disney World last weekend! She went down to celebrate Disney's Animal Kingdom's 24's anniversary and take part in the Earth Week celebrations! She also reviews a meal at Boma at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, gives her thoughts on the atmosphere and many menu items at the newly-opened Connections Cafe & Eatery at Epcot! Next, she heads to Disney Springs to give us a review of the newly-opened Salt & Straw Ice Cream location, and we also get a very hot take on Kite Tales!

Of course the show features the fire-breathing Maleficent dragon – along with just about every major Disney character favorite.And sharing the same parade route is the recently launched Adventure Friends Cavalcade. It takes over the Magic Kingdom streets several times a day with nearly 30 of your favorite Disney and Pixar friends including Moana, Nick and Judy from “Zootopia” and Miguel from “Coco.”--More Experiences Added to Disney Genie+ ServiceTwo new experiences are now available in Disney Genie+ : Magic Kingdom: Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade Disney's Hollywood Studios: See Disney Stars at Red Carpet Dreams --Connections Café and Eatery Opens This Spring at EPCOTConnections Café and Eatery recently celebrated a new milestone, with the installation of the first of five marquees. While no date has been announced, the restaurant will open at some point this spring giving EPCOT visitors a new fast-casual restaurant and adjoining café. It is in the World Celebration neighborhood of EPCOT.The name Connections Cafe was inspired by the core EPCOT idea of “connecting”– by the common bond we share over food and the gathering of people across cultures.-- Update on Hawai‘i's Safe Travels Program & Safe Access Oahu ProgramStarting March 26, 2022, Hawaii's Safe Travels program will end, meaning passengers arriving from within the U.S. will no longer have to show proof of a COVID-19 vaccination or a pre-travel negative test result upon arrival to Hawaii in order to avoid quarantine. However, international passengers still have to follow the travel requirements put in place by the federal government, so testing is still required. If you are traveling from outside the U.S., remember to check before flying.Also, Honolulu's Safe Access Oahu program has also ended, and visitors no longer have to provide proof of full vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test to dine on property.What hasn't changed: the State of Hawaii still has a face covering mandate for all indoor locations. At Disney Aulani Resort, face coverings are required for each Guest age 2 and up, and must be worn in all indoor locations, including Laniwai - A Disney Spa, except when actively eating or drinking while stationary and maintaining appropriate physical distancing. Face coverings are optional in outdoor common areas at Aulani Resort.--Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel PodcastThank you very much for listening to this episode, Amelia and I hope that you enjoyed it.
