EPCOT Overhaul Advances: Remy’s Reopens Nov. 14 in 2D as 2026 Updates Line Up

Disney signals a phased refresh balancing quick tune-ups against larger 2026 overhauls.

Overview

  • Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is pausing this week to remove 3D, with a 2D reopening set for November 14 in EPCOT’s France Pavilion.
  • Frozen Ever After is slated for early 2026 upgrades that give Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff a more true-to-film animatronic look.
  • Soarin’ Around the World will return next summer as Soarin’ Across America, refocusing the flight on U.S. landscapes.
  • Test Track’s third iteration reopened to guests this summer, and the new adult-focused GEO-82 lounge is already in operation.
  • Beyond EPCOT, Disney plans to retire Animal Kingdom’s DinoLand U.S.A. in early 2026 for Tropical Americas, and recent closures like Muppet*Vision 3D and Tom Sawyer Island have drawn mixed reactions.
