We have all heard that Epcot is undergoing a massive overhaul to bring some of the old-school life back into the park. Well, Disney has now revealed that some update announcements are going to be made at the D23 Expo in August of 2019.
Earlier this month, the removal of the Leave A Legacy monuments began at Epcot, but there is so much more coming to the iconic park in Walt Disney World. See those awesome logos above? Well, Disney has confirmed that the new pavilions arriving in the next few years will need the same treatment.
A new – but classic – look to match our offerings: Longtime fans of Epcot are familiar with the pavilion icons, like the ones you see here for Imagination!, The Land and The Seas with Nemo & Friends. With new experiences like the previously announced play-themed pavilion joining these Epcot staples, don’t you think we need some new icons to match? More will be revealed at the Expo!
Editor’s Note: Yes, there have been rumors about The Land and The Seas pavilions lately, but speaking directly about those pavilions along with Walt Disney World’s response when asked about them…it makes one believe that they are not going anywhere anytime soon.
There are big plans for Epcot, Kaz. We do have new pavilions joining, like the play-themed pavilion and the Guardians of the Galaxy-themed roller coaster, but The Land and The Seas with Nemo & Friends are planned to be with us into the future.

Here is some more than was revealed today about the updates coming to Epcot in the coming years.
The park’s core reimagined: You’ve already heard about the transformation taking place just inside the park’s entrance, where we will be enhancing the area with lush green spaces and classic touches. At the Expo, we’ll share more about what’s coming to the core of the park on the opposite side of Spaceship Earth. New areas will be flanking the iconic attraction, and we can’t wait to share the details with you.
More about what makes Epcot, Epcot – Epcot is special for a lot of reasons – as one of Walt’s final projects, as an exclusive part of the Walt Disney World Resort, and as home to millions of memories from generations of guests. As we charge ahead with the park’s evolution, the architects of Epcot’s future are working to preserve all the elements that make this park so special while also evolving it to be more Disney, more family, more relevant and more timeless. At the Expo, you’ll hear more about experiences that are uniquely Epcot – for example, the updated films coming to Future World and World Showcase, as well as new dining experiences being added to the menu of ‘the foodie park.’
