The attraction originally opened in 2019 and was intended to show park visitors about the major renovations taking place at the park. With many of those renovations either underway or complete, The EPCOT Experience will be shut down to make way for what Disney describes as "new activations" at the Odyssey Pavilion.

Why is part of EPCOT closed?

We recently noticed that one attraction part of EPCOT's World Showcase will be closing temporarily this summer. Due to the upcoming International Food & Wine Festival, one of the Circle-Vision 360 attractions will be temporarily closing to make way for one of the limited-time marketplaces.

Is EPCOT closing for good?

Walt Disney World's EPCOT Experience which showcased planned park attractions for over 2 million guests will be closing permanently on March 14.
