Disney World Revives Vinyl Legacy with 'The Music of EPCOT' Album

Walt Disney World is releasing a brand-new two-LP vinyl release inspired by the original 1983 'The Official Album of EPCOT Center'. The album, titled 'The Music of EPCOT' 2LP, will be available for preorder at the Disney Music Booth (E13) in Hall B during the 2026 D23 Expo. Guests attending D23 will receive free shipping of the album.

The new release is a highly anticipated event among Disney fans and collectors, who have been clamoring for a repress of the original vinyl for years. The album will feature a mix of old school EPCOT Center and modern EPCOT music, including tracks from 'Listen to the Land', 'New Horizons', 'Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind', and 'Remy's Ratatouille Adventure'. Additionally, rare audio of Walt Disney talking about his vision for EPCOT will be included.

The 1983 original album was a significant musical milestone in the history of The Walt Disney Company. It sonically represents the optimism and creative intent of the people who built EPCOT Center in its infancy. This new release is seen as a positive sign for future official Walt Disney World albums, which could potentially lead to reimaginings of classic pavilions like Journey Into Imagination.
