It’s just been announced that AdventHealth will soon begin offering COVID-19 rapid tests at Orlando International Airport (MCO).
Appointments are available beginning Friday, January 15th, but are not required for testing. Each antigen test will cost $65 and will produce results in 15 minutes. The testing site will be located within the airport’s main terminal.
While the testing will be available for travelers who request it, the test will not satisfy the new required testing for international travelers as per the CDC. The new requirements for international passengers go into effect on January 26th, and all travelers entering the U.S. from international locations will need to produce a negative test result within three days of travel.
The testing site will initially be available Thursday-Monday from 7:30am until 3pm. Appointments for the new MCO testing site can be booked here.

Greetings from EPCOT, where everywhere you turn right now…
2021 EPCOT Festival of the Arts
… you’ll find a work of ART! The 2021 EPCOT Festival of the Arts is one week old today, so we’re exploring all the sights (and tastes!) of EPCOT’s first Festival of the year. But we’ve also got some new eats, drinks, and fun merchandise finds, so let’s hop right in!
A stop by the House of Good Fortune, also in the China pavilion, revealed a new-to-us packaged treat.
Custard Mochi
Check out the cute Custard Mochi!

We found it available in Kiwi and Lemon.
Joffrey’s Coffee and Tea Kiosk
And while we’re busy enjoying the Festival of the Arts, we did happen to spot one last offering from the 2020 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays at the Joffrey’s Coffee and Tea kiosk between the Canada and United Kingdom pavilions.
Pastries at Joffrey’s
The Caramel Tinsel Donuts (YEP! The ones topped with crumbled TWIX!) are still available here… for now.
And don’t forget… YOU can transform into Figment with this fun Future World photo op!
While you can most certainly pose in front of the “two tiny wings” and “horns of a steer” in tribute to our purple pigmented pal, PhotoPass photographers can take a Magic Shot for you in this area, too, adding some extra pixie dust to your picture.
We wanted to point out a print sale we noticed at the WonderGround Gallery Tent.

That’s right, this new change will also have an effect on the Premier Passport — the offering that works as a joint Annual Pass for both The Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World. Due to this change, Premier Passport holders won’t just be automatically renewed for the Disney World side of their Annual Pass, and if you’re in this situation there are a few steps that you need to take! We’re breaking down what Premier Passport holders need to do to maintain access to the Disney World theme parks.
Premier Passport holders WILL need to take action to keep Disney World theme park entry after March 31st. Until that point, the Premier Passport will still work for Disney World entry and give will give those people all V.I.PASSHOLDER Perks.
Animal Kingdom
After that, Premier Passholders will have to “renew into Walt Disney World Resort Annual Passes through April 30, 2021.” Essentially, you’ll need to call Disney by April 30th to renew into a Walt Disney World-only Annual Pass. If you don’t you will lose the Disney World side of your pass as well.
To renew into a Walt Disney World Annual Pass and for any other questions, you can call V.I.PASSHOLDER support at (407) 939-7277.
As a reminder, the Premier Passport has been discontinued alongside the other Annual Passholder offerings for Disneyland. Down the line, a new membership program will be announced. Details on this new membership plan will be shared at a later time.
