Future World

We noticed a few social distancing changes on some of the rides in EPCOT. Soarin’ no longer has plexiglass barriers featured in the seating.

Journey Into Imagination with Figment is now seating every row. Our reporter was a single rider and had a row to herself, but another party sat directly behind.
