New EPCOT Map Includes Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
MickeyBlog is having a great day at EPCOT today, and we picked up the new EPCOT map which includes Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind!
The new maps feature Spaceship Earth on the front, lit up for Beacons of Magic.
The guidemap we picked up is in English, but as always it is available in many languages. You can pick up the new Epcot maps from the front of the park, Guest Relations and at merchandise locations throughout the park.
New EPCOT map back
On the back of the new EPCOT map, there are three sections of content.
First, there’s information about health and safety measures for COVID-19.
Then there’s a section listing the four festivals at EPCOT. We’re still celebrating the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, which runs through July 4, 2022.
Next, the new EPCOT map invites guests to download MyDisneyExperience. This is the official mobile app and the one-stop-shop for your Walt Disney World vacation.
Inside new EPCOT map
Inside the new EPCOT map there’s an interior spread dedicated to The World’s Most Magical Celebration at Walt Disney World.
Guests are invited to make memories to last a lifetime during the 50th anniversary celebration.
The new EPCOT map features new magic. Specifically, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Connections Cafe & Eatery.
The Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind description reads, “the new attraction in the Wonders of Xandar pavilion located within World Discovery at EPCOT.”
Connections Cafe & Eatery
The description for Connections reads, “located in World Celebration, this new fast-casual restaurant and adjoining cafe focuses on the core EPCOT idea of “connecting” – with the world, with each other, and with food.
The map interior highlights Beacons of Magic and Harmonious.
Other 50th anniversary celebration elements highlighted include special food and beverage options and the character sculptures found throughout the parks.
I was surprised to notice a mistake on Disney’s part. The map says you can go to disneyworld.com/50 guide to learn about all the elements in the 50th anniversary celebration.
But that link leads to the MyDisneyExperience page on disneyworld.com.
It should link here, to the 50th anniversary page. Take note, Walt Disney World digital team!
Number 10 on the map
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is number 10 on the new EPCOT map.
The ride description reads: “Team up with the Guardians of the Galaxy on an intergalactic race through space and time.”
This attraction is for guests who are 42 inches or taller, or 107cm or taller.
There are several safety, accessibility and guest policies for this attraction. They’re explained on the map, but image from the website explains them in detail.
Virtual queue or individual lightning lane
Remember, you can only access Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind using the virtual queue or by purchasing the individual lightning lane.
