Walt Disney World’s EPCOT has announced a brief closure for the “Reflections of China” attraction. Known for its immersive Circle-Vision 360-degree film experience, this attraction offers guests a captivating tour of China’s diverse landscapes and cultural landmarks. The temporary closure is scheduled for later this month, allowing for quick maintenance and ensuring the attraction continues to provide high-quality experiences for visitors.
Details of the Closure
According to the Walt Disney World operating calendar, “Reflections of China” will be closed for one day on Thursday, June 13, 2024. The attraction is expected to reopen the following day on June 14. This short downtime is likely for a quick refurbishment, aimed at maintaining the quality and functionality of the attraction.
Experience of “Reflections of China”
“Reflections of China” features a 12-minute film that takes guests on an immersive journey through various iconic locations across China. Narrated by Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai, the film showcases sites such as the Huangshan mountain range, the Sea of Clouds, the water-bound city of Suzhou, and the Forbidden City. The film is designed to be accessible to all ages and heights, making it a family-friendly attraction within the China Pavilion at EPCOT.
Future of the Pavilion
A new film titled “Wondrous China” was announced for the pavilion back in 2019, intended to replace “Reflections of China.” However, there have been no updates on the debut of this new film. As of now, “Reflections of China” remains the primary feature, continuing to offer an engaging look at the beauty and culture of China.
Conclusion
The temporary closure of “Reflections of China” is a routine part of maintaining the high standards of attractions at Walt Disney World. Guests planning to visit EPCOT around June 13 should note the one-day hiatus but can look forward to the quick return of this beloved attraction.
