'Tomorowland' movie sneak peek coming to Epcot in April

By WDWMAGIC Staff · Thursday March 26, 2015 11:10am EDT · "EPCOT"

Epcot will be showing a sneak peek of the upcoming "Tomorrowland" movie in April 2015.

The exclusive preview scenes will be shown in the Imagination Pavilion Theater, which is currently home to Captain EO. The preview will also feature special effects that are part of that theater location. “Tomorrowland” opens in theaters on May 22, 2015

Although the preview is only for a limited time, this may signal the end to Captain EO playing at Epcot. EO returned to Epcot in 2010 following the death of Michael Jackson, the star of the movie. It was originally expected to be for a limited time, but has since become a permanent replacement for Honey I Shrunk the Audience.

Disney has not yet made any comment about the future of Captain EO.

I'm ok with that, provided Frozen doesn't take its place...

I would have thought it would have played in HS like all the other previews. Anyone know the reason behind the change? Be surprised if EO comes back, glad I caught it one more time this past month.

I wonder when in April this is starting? I will be going there in the beginning of April and am curious what I will be seeing lol..

hmm..could signal the closure of EO, and that would leave the space open for something different (moving the muppets so they can use their current real estate in DHS for something else).

...armchair mode here all the way...

Sounds like the end of Imagination...

Has Disney started to get the hint about that pavilion needing updating and severe attention? Let's hope. This is a good 1st step. :)

Hopefully a good CM will accidentally 'file' the reels (and any backups) in the incinerator. :D

I'm excited about this movie. The previews have been very intriguing. Would be fun to see the preview at WDW
