BREAKING: Epcot Character Spot and More Set to Close this Fall

As we previously reported, a multi-year transformation of Epcot is underway and today, Disney announced that Meet Disney Pals at the Epcot Character Spot and other locations will temporarily close as part of the massive multi-year overhaul.

On September 8, 2019, refurbishment will begin on the core of Future World, including the area between Spaceship Earth and World Showcase Promenade. While this work is underway, offerings at and around the Fountain of Nations will be temporarily relocated or closed. 

New Locations for Character Experiences – Coming Soon
Take a look below to find out where you can meet some of your favorite Disney Characters during the refurbishment period.

  • Minnie Mouse will move into the World Showcase Gazebo.
  • Daisy Duck will move to The American Adventure.
  • While new locations are being developed for Mickey Mouse and Goofy, they will temporarily appear in Innoventions West.
  • In the near future, Mickey Mouse will move to an all-new location in the Imagination! Pavilion. 
  • Goofy will venture out into the park—and soon will find a new home.
  • Joy will move soon too—to a joyous new home.
  • And a silly old bear will return to the United Kingdom pavilion—welcome back Winnie the Pooh, who will greet Guests at Christopher Robin’s bedroom beginning in September 2019!

Other locations closing as to make way for the transformation include: Club Cool, Fountain View Starbucks, Colortopia, and Camera Center.
