If you’ve been to Walt Disney World’s Epcot recently, you likely already know that the American Adventure attraction in the American Pavilion of World Showcase has been closed for refurbishment for about a month. Today, Disney Parks shared with us some of the changes that are being made to the attraction. Here is a quick rundown of what you can expect when it reopens this month:

First, the film’s projection system is being converted to an all-digital system giving it much better video and sound quality.
Next, Disney has added a number of new, contemporary characters to the show finale. Some of the new characters include John Williams, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Misty Copeland.
Finally, the attraction’s theme song, “Golden Dream,” has been re-recorded with new orchestration.

The Epcot American Adventure attraction was originally slated to re-open on Wednesday, February 14th. The Disney Parks post today only says “later this month,” so one can assume it will be delayed a bit (otherwise, wouldn’t they just say “next week?” I’ll be sure to updated this post as soon as we know the new re-open date.
