Star-Lord Arrives at EPCOT Later This Month

The long-awaited return of a Marvel hero to a Walt Disney World theme park is near, as Disney Parks has shared that Star-Lord will once again be appearing at EPCOT starting later this month.

What’s Happening:

  • Fans are excited that Disney Parks has revealed that Star-Lord will once again be appearing at EPCOT, starting on September 29th.
  • The character has largely been absent from the park, having only appeared during special events and limited-time shows at the park, especially when Star-Lord and the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy have their own thrill-attraction at the park, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.
  • The announcement video features the character making his way through classic areas of EPCOT – namely Spaceship Earth, Living With The Land, and The Seas with Nemo & Friends – before appearing in front of the aforementioned Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind attraction.
  • Fans have immediately begun to comment on the post sharing their excitement for the return of the character at the park, but a large portion of comments also express their disappointment, believing at first that this announcement was for the long-awaited debut of the standby queue at the attraction, which currently can only be experienced via virtual queue or individual lightning lane access.

  • Interestingly, the post from Disney Parks does not state a location where Star-Lord will be appearing at EPCOT, or whether or not this a regular meet & greet or a show, similar to the Awesome Dance Remix that took place at the America Gardens Theater in the American Adventure pavilion, or a smaller scale version of that show like the Awesome Dance-Off at Disney California Adventure near their Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! Attraction.
  • If Star-Lord does appear via Meet & Greet, though it will likely be near their attraction, the post did not specify an exact location where the character will be greeting.
