Today Zach Riddley, Creative Portfolio Executive, Walt Disney Imagineering, announced on Instagram that the EPCOT Experience will be closed on Tuesday, 14 March 2022.

“Since its 2019 debut, Walt Disney Imagineering presents the EPCOT Experience has welcomed more than two million guests, as travelers from around the world enjoyed an immersive look at the past, present, and future of this beloved park,” said Riddley. “This attraction gave our team a chance to share a first-person view of the vision coming to life during this ongoing ‘state of becoming.’ It’s a rare moment to see these milestones unfold, and we’ve been inspired and deeply grateful to have this opportunity to pull back the curtain on our thinking.”
 
“With the transformation now well underway and many of those projects now open – including Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, Harmonious, and the upcoming debut of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind this summer – we have decided it is time to close the EPCOT Experience on March 14,” Riddley went on to say.

There has not been any announcement as to what would be replacing the EPCOT Experience, but Riddley did say they were making way for “exciting new activations of the Odyssey pavilion to create a great experience for our guests.” 
 
“I’m proud of the work and storytelling that our Imagineers put into this incredible 360-degree presentation, as it beautifully set the stage for the largest transformation in the history of EPCOT, and provided an in-depth look at the exciting attractions and experiences being developed for this beloved park. I always like to say to our team that EPCOT is a park about people – our dreams, our curiosity, and our ability to make magic possible when we work together. The EPCOT Experience was a showcase of all those things, inviting each of you to dream with us as we create the future of EPCOT together. 
 
We have a lot more to share in the weeks and months ahead, and I am grateful for the opportunity to provide an in-depth look at the process through our Imagineering lens. Follow along with me here as we share more exciting details about this historic EPCOT transformation, including Journey of Water inspired by Moana, the ongoing evolution of World Celebration, and more!”
