EPCOT Quietly Reduces Club Cool Capacity as One Sampling Machine Goes Offline

Overview

• An overnight change left one of Club Cool’s six self-serve machines fully disabled with “try another flavor” labels replacing all selections.
• The shutdown removes an entire eight-flavor station, cutting the complimentary tasting area’s capacity by roughly one-sixth.
• Guests are experiencing slower movement through the space as lines form faster and visitors linger at the remaining stations.
• No signs at the location or alerts in the Disney app flagged the reduction before opening, leaving arrivals to discover the change on site.
• The adjustment coincides with EPCOT’s transition to the Festival of the Arts on January 16 and a Frozen Ever After refurbishment starting January 26 with an expected February reopening.
