The effects of Covid-19 continue at Disney World as the company has now confirmed additional changes to its construction calendar. This round of changes effects the Epcot revitalization project.
Disney has confirmed that both Spaceship Earth’s scheduled reimagineering (which had already been delayed) and the new Mary Poppins attraction, Cherry Tree Lane, has been postponed indefinitely.
It is also notable that the preview film at the Epcot Experience preview center has been updated with both new attractions removed. This does not necessarily mean that the projects are cancelled, although there is no indication when, if ever, the projects will be put back on the construction calendar.
A Disney spokesperson confirmed, “As with most businesses during this period, we are further evaluating long-term project plans. The decision was made to postpone development of the “Mary Poppins”-inspired attraction and Spaceship Earth at this time.”
While no official statement has been made regarding other Epcot related projects (and there are many), we also noticed the “Opening Summer of 2020” signage outside Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure has been removed indicating a delay to that project as well. Construction continues to progress on the Guardians of the Galaxy attraction at Epcot and Tron Lightcycle Power Run rollercoaster over at Magic Kingdom.
