The Next DECADE at Disney’s EPCOT (10 Year Plan)

Walt Disney World’s Epcot is currently undergoing its largest expansion yet. Many details have been released to the public regarding the new rides and attractions this park will be receiving over only the next couple of years, but HERE, we’ll venture off into the next decade. So for today, let’s take a look at what’s on the horizon for Epcot. Do keep in mind that everything I’m about to say here is not confirmed by the Walt Disney Company. It’s just my personal take on what I believe will open and close in the next 10 years at Epcot. Obviously, most of this will likely not happen, but it’s always fun to try and predict the future in the theme park industry. Now with that said, let’s get into it.

Everyone loves both the Figment dragon and the Orange bird! My idea is not only do the dark ride update to figment, but also give the orange bird his own ride, and where better to give him his ride than Spain, known for their oranges? Maybe it could be a Soarin around the world type experience with different places around the world that have oranges, from Orange County Florida, to Orange County California, to Spain, and back! Orange scented misters as you fly over the orange trees. Then they make the exit a store with the orange juice dole whips.

Add Mt Fuji to Japan Pavilion, complete re design of Figment, new entrance hotel, large festival space (two story would be awesome), refurbs to the land and seas, also new show to Soarin’. Incorporate Encanto trackless dark ride into a new Columbia pavilion and bring back the Poppin idea.

The Mary Poppins ride was intended to be much more than a carousel. It was to start on a carousel, but then just like the movie the horses would jump off and take you on a more dark-ride like a debenture, apparently using a hanging ride system similar to Peter Pan.

I think you plans are perfect. I want to see How it looks like in person in the future.

Your 10 Year Plan videos are my favorite. Especially your Spain area idea that is mentioned in this video :)

Honest hope of what should happen with Epcot…

Every pavilion get’s it’s own ride. (Except America, as I think American Adventure is more than adequate.) That way no pavilion feels superior to the others & explore their cultures via the Disney IP that take place in those cultures.

As for what I think those rides should be…

Italy: Luca dark ride where you explore the Italian seaside on a Vespa.

China: Trackless Dark ride similar to Mystic Manor themed around the Ancestors’ temple from Mulan.

Japan: Either a Totoro themed hanging dark ride similar to Peter Pan… or a Spirited Away drop tower based on the elevators in the bathouse.

Morocco: Aladdin’s flying carpet simulator (surprised this one dosen’t exist already)

UK: Being back the Mary Poppins ride.

Canada: Brother Bear themed Log Flume. (Seriously Epcot needs a water ride that actually gets you wet in the Orlando Heat. And this seems like a perfect way to execute that.

Germany: Tangled themed Steeple Chase coaster.

For a new World Showcase Pavilion, Colombia with the centerpiece being a trackless dark ride inside Encanto’s Casita

I enjoyed your predictions! I don't know about Spain though. . . I feel like there is a lot of Europe represented in the World Showcase, so I'd love to see something from South America or Africa. Any new country would be cool though!!

The Short Film Festival should get the Ice Age shorts since you can't watch them on D+

[jacksonpriestap]

The only way I could see most of these happening is if they get an actually good CEO.😂

Im glad electric umbrella closed. Their food made me sick.

Beauty and the beast dark ride in beast castle

[robbywellsmusic]

the Disney company needs to see this video

[andrewcalcagno]

I have a feeling that the Journey into Imagination renovation might be coming a lot sooner than we think!

[xcoasterenthusiast]

Y’all want more IPs to come to World Showcase but honestly more IP integration for rides will ruin the whole point behind it.

[JoeyPaisan]

Can’t wait for this to come out! Can you do next 10 years at Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom in the future?

[christopherreichart]

At Hollywood studios keep Beauty and the beast live on stage and Indiana Jones shunt epic shunt spectacular and Rock ‘n’ roll roller coaster update to guns and roses

[sideeswipe]

I think a Colombia pavilion is a no brainer with an encanto ride, honestly an elaborate trackless dark ride would help counteract frozen long ride and spread the crowds out in world showcase a bit more. Mission space is also in desperate need of another update since the graphics on the ride are absolutely horrendous and the whole idea of the ride being an interactive simulator ride is a lie since there’s literally only one button to press and if you don’t press it nothing even happens. The green mission is boring as hell and the red mission is ugly looking and essentially torture. I’m all for Epcot having more thrill rides but when the thrill rides they have with test track and mission space are as bad/lackluster as they are then they gotta do something about it

I think Disney should finish Epcot Overhaul by late 2025 to bring guest from Epic Universe to Epcot!

I would focus on, Spaceship Earth retheme, World Celebration Festival Hall, Play Pavillion, Moana Walkthrough Attraction and the Marry Poppins Attraction.

I think they need to update Figment, Living with the land and The Seas Pavillion all within that time frame ending in 2025.

The problem of not doing this is that when visitors come to see Epic Unicerse they will see a state of the ark new theme park, and if they visit Disney it will feel even more outdated than it currently feels. Disney needs to fix this park fast and the right way not on the cheap.
