Spaceship Earth Today we’ll cover allll the construction updates, adorable new merchandise, and so much more. Let’s get started! Epcot Food Update When we stopped by Club Cool for a quick break, we noticed that they were completely out of Italy’s Beverly soda. If you’re a fan of the much-talked-about beverage, a Cast Member told us it should be restocked soon. Club Cool – Beverly Soda Missing At La Cantina de San Angel, we spotted a few changes to the margarita menu! A Patron Strawberry Margarita has replaced the Patron Loco Margarita, the three floaters are new, and the menu used to feature Tequila Altos Reposado and Pomegranate Liqueur. La Cantina de San Angel In the China Pavilion, Lotus Blossom Cafe has made some menu changes as well. Chicken Fried Rice has replaced the Shrimp Fried Rice dish. The Chicken Fried Rice was previously offered as a special item for a couple of weeks, but now it’s landed on the regular menu. On the Lotus Blossom’s beverage menu, Panda Boba Blackberry Iced Tea has replaced the Iced Peach Oolong Tea.

This restaurant is between Mission: Space and Test Track, and is set to open later this year! We can’t wait to learn more about this exciting new restaurant. Space-Themed Restaurant Construction As we reported last week, construction fencing and walls have gone up from Journey into the Imagination toward Character Spot and around, blocking off the path heading into World Showcase. Don’t forget that during the closure, the pathway between Future World and World Showcase is closed, so you’ll either have to walk all the way around or cut through the Character Spot/Club Cool building. Future World Closed Pathways Heading over to the American Adventure Pavilion, the existing Liberty Inn building is being renovated to become Regal Eagle: Craft Drafts & Barbecue. American Adventure Pavilion ConstructionThe area where the merchandise stand usually stands is blocked off as well. The stand has been moved down closer to Germany’s Block and Hans kiosk for now.
