How Do I Find My Leave a Legacy in Epcot?

The Leave a Legacy program at Epcot is a unique opportunity that allowed more than 550,000 Walt Disney World Resort guests to leave their mark at the famed theme park. Introduced as part of Disney’s Millennium Celebration in 1999, the program ran through June 2007, inviting guests to have their pictures taken and then etched onto steel tiles. These tiles were placed on granite monoliths outside the park, creating a visual representation of the global community that aligns with the overall theme of Epcot.

In 2019, the Leave a Legacy monuments were removed due to the reimagining of Epcot’s entrance. However, they returned in February 2021 with a new location outside the park entrance and a more colorful design. In this blog post, we’ll guide you through the process of finding your Leave a Legacy tile in Epcot.
