Today marks another huge milestone at Disney World — EPCOT’s 40th Anniversary!

EPCOT has been open to guests for 40 years, bringing innovation and international cultures to the resort. And, in celebration, there are tons of merchandise and treats you can snag to honor the park. But that’s not all, there’s also one iconic souvenir you can grab for free!
Of course, we’re talking about the Commemorative Guidemap you can grab at EPCOT. It has the park’s anniversary logo on the front, as well as the start date of the celebration — October 1st, 2022.

Oh — and the map has translucent designs that shine in the sun. We reaaaally like that detail!

The back of the map has the EPCOT Center logo…

…while the inside has special details about the celebration, like where to grab the special treats and merchandise. It also lists special ways the park will honor the anniversary, like a special Beacon of Magic! That means Spaceship Earth will have a 40th light show at night.

This is also where we learned about the 11AM ceremony! And, of course, there’s also the regular guidemap information inside.

What a fun way to celebrate! For more things to do for the 40th anniversary, check out the new treats and merchandise that you can grab for the celebration. Or check out the transformation happening to the park.
