Yeah, it’s sad to think my favourite park will never be the same again.

But I’m looking forward to how the new Epcot will look and experiencing the new attractions.

I just hope some stuff is open by August 2020.

I'm super glad we picked the Beach Club for easy access to Epcot this year!

I'll be sad to see character spot go and art of Disney. Club cool is apparently coming back in a new location though. I love mousegears too... I hope it doesn't end up a soulless noise cave like the reimagined world of Disney!

Oh no, my little grandsons love Baymax but on our visit last year we missed seeing him. All geared up for this year in October but he’ll be gone.

Oh no! Baymax is leaving? I just missed him on my last visit in 2015 as they took him off before he got a permanent place & now I’ll not see him next year 😭😭

I read that some were not closing until November but not sure what the official word is

Wow, mousegear?! Crikey. I also think the dvc lounge is short lived as last time we felt it was going downhill.

Good grief!
Looks like the first day of my trip will need to be my Epcot day then and have a last look down memory lane.
Epcot is going to be a huge mess with all that work going on - hope it's worth it eventually.

Wouldn’t hold my breath on that considering how long it takes for Disney to construct new additions to the parks.

Electric Umbrella
Epcot Character Spot
Baymax character meet
Fountain of Nations
Mouse Gear
Club Cool
Innoventions East (including the Colortopia exhibit)
Fountain View Starbucks
Art of Disney shop
Pin Central
...and more!

They will close on September 8th 2019.

Some of the attractions - Starbucks, Art of Disney, character meets, and maybe more - will move to other locations. Whilst the rest are closing to make way for big changes coming to Epcot.

Expect more details to be announced at the upcoming D23 Expo at Anaheim, California in August.

They're not all closing if some of them are simply moving to other locations. Very misleading post.

Though I expected it, I’m really sad about Electric Umbrella. It’s a traditional lunch stop for us each trip

But the current locations are all closing? Yes some of them will be refurbed and reopened or moved to a new location but they are still closing for a time.
