Play! was an announced pavilion that was set to open in Epcot's World Discovery area. Originally planned to open in 2021, the attraction missed its opening window without any formal announcement of a delay. In January 2023, Play! was removed from EPCOT guide maps following over three years without the attraction being mentioned by Disney. Later that month, Disney officially announced that the attraction's concept was being reevaluated. As originally announced, Play was set to be constructed within the former Wonders of Life pavilion and themed as an interactive futuristic city where guests would be able to interact with a variety of Disney characters.
Overview
According to concept artwork by Walt Disney Imagineering, the pavilion as originally announced was planned to contain:
- An Animation Academy-like experience where Edna Mode teaches guests to draw.
- Hotel Heist- An interactive game hosted by Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde from Zootopia.
- An Arcade
- Monorail Mark X
- A water balloon fight video game experience with various Disney characters.
Other potential attractions included meet and greets for Wreck-It-Ralph, Vanellope von Schweetz, Joy, Sadness and Baymax.
