Is Greece coming to EPCOT?

Greece: 2023 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival.



As of March 2026, there is no official confirmation from Disney that a Greece Pavilion is being added to EPCOT’s World Showcase. While Greece has been a top fan-requested country for decades and is a staple of the annual Food & Wine Festival (famous for its griddled cheese and spanakopita), Disney has not added a new country pavilion since Norway in 1988. Recent 2026 expansions have focused on integrating Intellectual Property (IP) into existing pavilions—such as Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in France or the Frozen expansion in Norway. Rumors often circulate about an "Ancient Greece" area featuring a Hercules attraction, but Disney’s current "blue sky" projects are centered on the Tropical Americas retheme of DinoLand U.S.A. and the "Beyond Big Thunder" expansion at Magic Kingdom. While Greece remains a "top three" contender in every guest satisfaction survey, it currently remains relegated to a festival marketplace rather than a permanent, brick-and-mortar pavilion in the 2026 park layout.
