Disney to Update Five EPCOT Attractions by 2026
The plan centers on refreshing show systems to keep familiar experiences current.
Overview
- Nearly half of EPCOT’s ride lineup is in scope, with five of 11 attractions slated for upgrades through 2026.
- Spaceship Earth has quietly reopened after a technical refurbishment with new projectors, refreshed screens, and improved lighting, with any larger reimagining only speculated and not announced.
- Test Track’s latest iteration is in place, featuring a rethemed queue, updated vehicles, LIDAR lighting effects, and the removal of the Chevrolet Design Studio pre-show.
- Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure will close for a November refurbishment that switches to 2D projection without glasses and adds sharper visuals plus updated props and lighting.
- Two 2026 updates are set: Frozen Ever After will add next‑generation Audio‑Animatronics in early 2026, and Soarin’ will debut Soarin’ Across America in summer 2026 as part of the U.S. semiquincentennial.
