Disney4me Posted July 13, 2020 Report Posted July 13, 2020 Annnnd we’re back in EPCOT for the very first time since the closures. Last week we took a detailed look at all of the changes at Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom. Epcot Entrance Now, we’re live in EPCOT for a Cast Member preview (we were invited by a friend) to check out all of the new processes and changes! And don’t forget, the Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival kicks off this week. You can view the full menus here. Follow along with us this WEEK as we will be updating this post with new information! Entering EPCOT When we arrived this morning, Cast Members and guests were directed into the EPCOT parking lots. Spaceship Earth Parking is every other space like we’ve seen in the other parks. EPCOT Parking First, it’s off to the temperature check tents. Like the other parks, AdventHealth professionals administer the checks using handheld infrared thermometers. Temperature Checks The Recheck Tents for those who exceed the maximum temperature reading were air-conditioned. Recheck Tents Lines throughout this area were distanced and Security had a similar process to Magic Kingdom. We were asked to remove umbrellas and metal water bottles and to carry the rest of our items through the scanners. When the scanner detected too much metal, we were asked to dump our bags into a bin for a no-touch search. Social Distanced Queue After you’re cleared from the two screenings you can head to the gate. Notice the A Taste of Epcot International Food & Wine Festival posters! EPCOT Entrance Since this is the Cast Member preview, we were checked in using a tablet instead of the usual system. The gate area had plenty of distancing stickers as well. EPCOT Entrance Construction Updates First thing when we entered, we noticed that Future World construction is still very present.
