Last time, we saw more construction walls and a few new food items! Let’s take a look at what’s new in food, construction, and merchandise!

EPCOT Food Updates

African Outpost

First up, we spotted the Frozen Elephant drink at the African Outpost in World Showcase!

This drink consists of frozen Coca-Cola and Amarula Cream Liquor. This is currently not shown on the menu, but when we ordered it rang up under the name Frozen Elephant. You can pick up his refreshing drink for $15!

Here is what else you should eat and drink at EPCOT!

Block & Hans

Over at Block and Hans in the American Adventure pavilion, we spotted the Cigar City Jai Alai!

Joffrey’s- Canada Pavilion

A spooky treat has arrived to Joffrey’s in the Canada pavilion! They have added a giant donut with orange colored frosting topped with crushed Oreo to the menu!

Halloween Donuts

This is the first time we have seen a Halloween-themed donut from a Joffrey’s location at Disney this year! We were so excited to see them getting in the Halloween spirit!

See what else Joffrey’s at Walt Disney World is offering!

Closures

Both Donut Box and Cool Wash were closed today!

Donut Box and Cool Wash

We checked with cast members and they said the stands were only open on weekends only due to demand. We were sad to not get some delicious donuts today!

EPCOT Construction Update

Guardians of the Galaxy

With all of the construction going on for a complete EPCOT transformation, we had to see how the upcoming attraction Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind was doing!

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind

We love seeing any little bits of progress we can but we CANNOT wait to go in!

La Bottega

On our last visit we noticed MORE construction walls pop up in the Italy pavilion. We know that EPCOT is preparing for its anniversary but wow! Another wall?!

La Bottega Construction Walls

Disney is currently updating the exterior but the interior entrance and exit that connected to other shops is also closed. Hey, at least the wall matches the color scheme of its surroundings! We will continue to update you on this new project in World Showcase.

Gateway Gifts and Pin Traders

Today, we noticed something different about the signage for Gateway Gifts and Pin Traders…new blue lining!

Gateway Gifts

The lining was also added to Pin Traders!

Pin Traders

They went above and beyond and added the blue lining above the store!

Pin Traders

This design is much more sleek than the previous signage outside of these two shops! We love the new look!

EPCOT Merchandise Update

Pin Traders

Since the store got a new makeover on the exterior, we had to go inside and we happened to find a couple of new pins! First, we found the Oliver & Co. Pin! This pin features the stars of the film and says “Off Taxi Duty!” This pin can be yours for $9.99!

Oliver & Company Pin

We also found a limited release Haunted Mansion pin!

Haunted Mansion Pin

This one pays homage to your favorite hitchhiking ghosts and glows in the dark! We were so excited to add this to our Disney pin collection!

Mouse Gear

At Mouse Gear we spotted some familiar merchandise but in a new spot! We spotted some pajama pants and boxers over in Magic Kingdom but they have made their way into EPCOT!

Boxers at Mouse Gear

All boxers and lounge pants are the same as we saw in Magic Kingdom with characters like Wreck-It Ralph and Disney emojis!

Loungewear at Mouse Gear

We are glad that you can pick up some super fun comfy clothes in both parks now!

Get all of the details on this Disney loungewear!

Japan Pavilion

At the Japan pavilion, we found some ADORABLE 2021 calendars! First, this Hello Kitty calendar! She is riding off into the new year in her cute, pink car!

Hello Kitty 2021 Calendar

The calendar features several prints featuring this beloved character! This can be yours for $14.99.

Hello Kitty 2021 Calendar

We also found a whole bunch of mini calendars shaped as different animals. This Mini Hedgehog Calendar had to be our favorite!

You can get yourself a little hedgehog for $9.95. Another one of our favorites was the Scottish Fold Calendar! This little one is just too cute!

These came in a variety of colors and are sold for $12.95. If you are getting excited for the new year, this is a perfect way to celebrate!

We found some frightfully adorable Hello Kitty Halloween merchandise!

Tea Caddy- United Kingdom Pavilion

While strolling through the United Kingdom pavilion, we noticed some Rose and Crown glasses in the Tea Caddy shop!

Rose and Crown Glass

A cast member mentioned that these were previously sold in the Crown Crest Shop but we are so glad they decided to make a reappearance! This glass features the UK flag, a rose and crown (of course), and a Pub door on the side!

Rose and Crown Glass

Another new glass arrived at the tea shop! This one says “Mind Your Ps and Qs, Pull a Proper Pint!” How fun!

Pint Glass- United Kingdom

Both glasses can be found in the UK tea shop for $14.99. 

We found the cutest United Kingdom merchandise EVER
