We’ve got lots of construction, food, and merch updates to share with you, so let’s get started!

Epcot Food Update

Future World

We’ve been anxiously waiting for the return of one of the most iconic (or shall we say notorious?) drinks in Disney World, and it’s here! Beverly is back in action, you guys!

Club Cool Sodas

The bitter Italian soda is certainly polarizing, but we’re still glad to see it back at Club Cool.

We also spotted some new gluten-free Fully Loaded Caramel Crunch Popcorn for $5.99 at Sunshine Seasons!

The more caramel, the better, in our opinion.

The smell of fresh coffee is what gets us out of bed in the morning. At the Joffrey’s Coffee locations in the American Adventure and Canada Pavilions, the Le Cellier Blend has replaced Mickey’s Birthday Blend.

Also in the Canada Pavilion, we noticed that the Le Cellier Signature Poutine has replaced the seasonal World Showcase Poutine on the Le Cellier.

In the Norway Pavilion, Kringla Bakeri og Kafe has added a new menu item — Chocolate Cake with Banana Mousse. This is a chocolate cake topped with banana mousse, covered in chocolate ganache, drizzled with white chocolate, and sprinkled with crisp chocolate bits.

Epcot Construction Update

Future World

Construction for the Guardians of the Galaxy Coaster is underway, but we sure wish we could take a peek inside! The coaster is set to open in 2021 in time for Disney World’s 50th-anniversary celebration.

Last week, we told you about the construction covers we spotted in the Canada Pavilion. During our most recent visit, we noticed additional covers over the scaffolding. We assume this construction work is for routine maintenance, but we’ll let you know if we learn more!

O Canada! is currently closed for refurbishment, and so its sign is missing for the time being.

The France Pavilion is undergoing quite a bit of change! Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and a new crêperie are both coming to the Pavilion, in addition to a Beauty and the Beast Sing-a-Long. These experiences are all slated to be open in time for Disney World’s 50th-anniversary celebrations in 2021. Which experience are you most excited about??
