Posters celebrate EPCOT attractions, present and future
EPCOT is a colorful place — a mashup of cultures and characters, adventure and adrenaline. So the bold new posters designed to celebrate EPCOT’s attractions seem perfectly suited to the park.
From Soarin’ to Guardians of the Galaxy, the prints feature EPCOT attractions, both present and future. They are part of a larger collection of Epcot prints that includes the pavilions of the World Showcase and the park’s defunct attractions. The prints measure about 14×18 inches matted and sells for $39.99 on shopDisney.
Below are the posters for current EPCOT attractions, as well as Disney’s descriptions. Further down, we’ve added our own commentary on the upcoming attractions.

Coming soon
Space 220 Restaurant
The new restaurant, scheduled to open mid-September, will give diners a sky-high view of earth from 220 miles up. Guests will board a space elevator for a journey to the Centauri Space Station, home to an incredible dining experience. Along the way, viewports will give guests real-time perspective as they travel high above the planet. Once they arrive, guests will enjoy fantastic meals and drinks while taking in views that are truly out of this world. Space 220 is being operated by the Patina Restaurant Group.
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure
Previews for the new ride in the France pavilion begin next month, with the ride’s official opening scheduled for Oct. 1. The attraction will “shrink” guests to the size of Chef Remy and race through Gusteau’s restaurant on a wild adventure.
Journey of Water
This will be the first Disney Parks experience inspired by “Moana.” This new walking trail will invite guests to meet and play with magical, living water. Just like Moana’s friend the ocean, water will have a personality of its own, helping guests learn how to protect the natural water cycle in a fun and engaging way.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
Guests have been watching the remake of this pavilion take shape for years. The adventure will start in the Galaxarium, a planetarium-like exhibition that explores the similarities and mysteries of the formation of Earth’s galaxy and Xandar. Guests will be invited to learn more about the treasures Xandar has to share – until the moment when the Guardians of the Galaxy arrive, and adventures across the cosmos ensue. The attraction will feature a roller coaster that rotates 360 degrees to focus guests on the action and will include the first reverse launch on a Disney coaster.
Play! Pavilion
Originally scheduled to open in time for the 50th Anniversary of Walt Disney World, the reimagining of the old Wonders of Life pavilion would be a digital city bursting with games, activities, and experiences that connect kids with friends, family, and beloved Disney characters like never before. Originally expected to open during the current Epcot renaissance, we don’t know when the Play! pavilion will open, but it is still on Disney’s to-do list.
