Disney has announced a new documentary called “EPCOT Becoming”, created by National Geographic and examining one of the many theme parks at the Walt Disney World Resort.

“EPCOT Becoming” showcases the reimagining of EPCOT for a new generation. Watch as Walt Disney World Resort teams rise to the challenge of bringing the constantly evolving park into the future, from creating an innovative new coaster to exploring the wonder of water and culminating with the debut of the next legacy in nighttime spectaculars: “Luminous The Symphony of Us.”

EPCOT originally opened in 1982 and stands for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow.  For decades, the theme park featured two main areas, Future World and World Showcase, but this documentary will showcase how Future World has been transformed into multiple zones, including  World Celebration, World Discovery, and World Nature.

This new documentary is the latest from National Geographic to dive deeper into the backstage workings at Disney, having previously released “The Magic Of Animal Kingdom” and a look at the making of the Disney Cruise line Wish ship.

The new documentary will premiere on the National Geographic linear channel at 10/9c on April 29th 2024, and it will also be available to stream on Hulu and Disney+ at a later date.   Expect this documentary also to be released on Disney+ around the world at a later date.

As one of my favourite theme parks at Walt Disney World, this certainly is one documentary I’m interested in learning more about.
