NEW: Disney closes a portion of Epcot attraction

We are not sure if or when Disney will reopen it.

Living with the Land

Living with the Land is a slow and gentle boat attraction located in World Nature. Nearby attractions include Soarin’ and Awesome Planet. Guests will see firsthand how Walt Disney World horticulturists are using innovative growing techniques and cross-breeding crops to help feed the planet.

DURING THIS TOUR, GUESTS WILL BE INSPIRED BY A HOPEFUL VISION FOR FARMING’S FUTURE.

Even better: you can enjoy the food that is grown at the Living with the Land attraction during your stay at Epcot! Both Sunshine Seasons and Garden Grill Restaurant serve fresh produce and seafood from the farm!

Be sure to look for the Mickey pumpkin and fun festival overlays! Also be sure to look for this closure the next time you are on the ride.

Biotechnology Lab Closed

While you’re riding through the attractions, you will enter various scenes including a farm, a rainforest, and then the “living laboratory.” This is where Guests learn all about futurist farming techniques.

Inside the Creative Greenhouse is the Biotechnology Lab where researchers learn all about crop improvement. Unfortunately, this area is now closed off to Guests. You can see in the photo above that a black screen covers the windows, and there is a simple Walt Disney quote.

“I believe in being an innovator.”

Who knows what is happening on the other side of those blacked out windows. It’s possible work is still being done, or it could be empty now. We are unsure when/if Disney will reopen this part of the attraction.
