If you are a Disney foodie, EPCOT is the place to be! Year round, guests can enjoy all of the different festivals that happen. EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival is just around the corner. From July 27 to November 18, guests can take a culinary tour across six continents at this celebration of cuisine from around the world.

From delectable Global Marketplaces and fresh new merchandise to nightly live entertainment, there’s so much for guests of all ages to enjoy.

EPCOT’s Refreshment Station is located in World Discovery. Guests can enjoy slushies and other cool refreshments underneath cooling fans and enjoy the covered seating. The location reopened in late May for guests.

To see what is all on the menu since reopening, take a look at Kate’s post HERE. It’s the perfect spot for those hot summer days in Florida!

With the location reopening not too long ago, it’s surprising to see that this location is currently closed! No times are listed on Disney’s website. Fortunately, it seems like this will only be a brief closure.

Refreshment Station is temporarily closed at EPCOT and will reopen on July 27th

The next date for Refreshment Station operating is July 27th, which is just in time for the opening of the Food and Wine Festival. It is entirely possible that the location has closed to prepare for the festival. We saw something similar happen to Refreshment Port, as this location is also temporarily closed until the beginning of the festival.

Do you enjoy Refreshment Station at EPCOT? Are you disappointed it is closed until the beginning of the festival? Will this affect your plans? Let us know in the comments below or share this post with a friend.
