In August 2019, Walt Disney World announced that Epcot would undergo a multi-year project, the "biggest transformation of any Disney park in history."

While slowed down somewhat during the coronavirus pandemic, work is progressing at the park.

When all is said and done, Epcot will have four neighborhoods: World Showcase, World Nature, World Discovery, and World Celebration. Each one will have new attractions and experiences for guests to participate in.

For example, World Discovery will have the new Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind roller coaster, World Showcase will debut a new HarmonioUS show, and World Nature will open an exploration trail called Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana.
