Land Officially opened 4/19

[crazyj4488]

From D-troops article 4/19:

The Land has opened to all Epcot guests (Living with the Land and Soarin'). Circle of Life’s target reopening is April 21.

We hear that, should The Land reach its capacity from guests through food service and Soarin’, guests will have to wait outside the pavilion until others leave it. The Land will be a popular food spot, and Soarin' is expected to draw many crowds. . . so don't rule out waiting outside the automatic doors to enter the pavilion on peak days.

Living with the Land is already open to guests, and is operating with Fastpass. No major show elements – minus modified exit gates, safety gates (left), and cleaned greenhouses – are featured post-rehab.

Fastpass is also now being offered at Soarin'.

The Land is open but the restaurants aren't.

 

[nhdisnut]

Does this mean that Soarin' is up and running as well?

 

[safetymom]

Yes Soarin is running but it isn't on a regular schedule yet. It could be closed at times.

safetymom do you think this means the Garden Grill will reopen soon??? I have my fingers crossed that it will open before our upcoming trip June 4-14. My two boys will be thrilled beyond belief if it does!!!

Thanks for any info!

The Garden Grill looked very empty except for the booths when I went by yesterday. I haven't heard any official opening date for the Garden Grill.

 

[MagicalMom]

I called today & they said that they still do not have a date when they expect the Garden Grill to open. I was really hoping it would be open by July.

AWESOME!

So Soarin' and Living with the Land both have Fastpasses? I read they are testing multiple F/P's in Epcot, in particular TT and MS. I wonder if Soarin' and Living with the Land will be included in the test?

I'm so happy to hear this news. We were so hoping to be able to do Soarin when we go next week!!!! Also so happy to hear the land is open again.

Of course, I came home yesterday. The Land is one of my mom's favorite attractions, she was sorry it was closed.

Oh well, more reason to go back!!

 

[MickeyEars]

Thanks safetymom. Let us know if you hear anything!!!

Any word on when the food court is opening? I read the press release disney had about the menu's and I want to try it.
We are going to be in WDW next week, so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Thanks!

The food court doesn't look ready to go for next week. But then Disney does a lot in a short period. I would think it would be ready for May 5.

The updated information

Will they be offering the Behind the Seeds tour again?

 

[MaryKatesMom]

safetymom is right. We went to Soarin' Thurs, Fri and Sat. and all three days the change in the Pavilion was remarkable. First no paint, then paint, then no table then tables. Disney can accomplish much in a very short time.

Will they be offering the Behind the Seeds tour again?

yes--my son & I went on a kids version of the Behind the Seeds tour on April 8, and the CM that did the tour said that it would definitely be back after the rehab
