EPCOT Closes World Discovery Splash Pad Behind Construction Walls

Overview

• The World Discovery Liquid Layer splash pad, which was walled off Monday, is now inaccessible to guests.
• Disney gave no advance notice and has not provided a reason, timeline, or reopening date.
• The shutdown follows on-and-off closures reported since mid-February after a prior multi-week refurbishment in November 2023.
• Losing this free play zone removes a reliable cool-down stop for families and can make park days tougher for young kids.
• Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana remains open as the main interactive water alternative, though it is a more structured experience than a splash pad.
