EPCOT’s World Discovery Splash Pad Closes Abruptly With No Reopening Timeline

The eve-of-festival timing worries families who count on the space for heat relief.

Overview

  • Guests on March 3 found the Liquid Layer area roped off with its interactive water features turned off.
  • Walt Disney World has not given a reason for the shutdown or indicated when the area will reopen.
  • Fan outlet WDWNT previously noted operational issues dating back to mid-February.
  • Cooling misters behind the site continued to operate, pointing to selective component problems rather than a full system outage.
  • The closure came a day before EPCOT’s International Flower & Garden Festival, a period that typically draws large family crowds.
