<p>In case you&#8217;ve been living under a rock (yellow brick?) and hadn&#8217;t heard, the major Disney film release this spring is <a href="http://disney.go.com/thewizard/">Oz: The Great and Powerful</a>, which explores the classic Oz story from the point of view of the wizard.</p>
<p>As part of the promotion/celebration of this film, a temporary &#8220;pop up&#8221; playground has been installed at Epcot, themed to the land of Oz. The playground is located on the Imagination Walkway path, in the Future World section of the park.</p>
<p>Much like the pop up <a href="http://blog.touringplans.com/2012/05/26/new-brave-experience-at-epcot/">Brave</a> interactive experience last year, the Oz land features visual elements related to the film, themed games of chance, and photo spots, plus there&#8217;s a rockin&#8217; awesome playground where kids can burn off some steam.</p>
<p>Official dates for the playground installation have not been announced, but it&#8217;s expected that this will remain in place throughout the Epcot Flower &amp; Garden Festival, which ends May 19, 2013.</p>
<p>Below is a photo tour of what you can expect to find at the Oz Playground.<span id="more-36596"></span></p>
