Disney4me Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Hello there, world travelers! Welcome back to another roundup of What’s New in Epcot! Epcot’s China Pavilion We’ve got a lot to cover today (including a delicious fall shot and an adorable Cozy Knit), so let’s get started! Epcot Food Update Future World In case you missed it, Future World’s Club Cool has closed its doors to make way for Epcot’s massive transformation. During our final visit, many of the soda flavors were out of stock. Club Cool Sodas Read more about Club Cool’s closure here! World Showcase In the Mexico Pavilion, we noticed that La Cava del Tequila‘s bar queue line had returned. Also, a Cast Member told us they are featuring a Frozen Strawberry Margarita this month that isn’t on the menu — so be sure to ask for it! La Cava del Tequila Queue Line La Cava del Tequila Queue Line In the Germany Pavilion, we found (and tried!) a shot of the returning Mozart Chocolate Cream Pumpkin Spice Liqueur for $11. Mozart Chocolate Cream Pumpkin Spice Liqueur Shot Even though we are HUGE pumpkin spice fans, we still have to say that this is one of the best pumpkin-flavored treats we have ever tried in Disney World. After taking one sip of the chilled Mozart Chocolate Cream Pumpkin Spice Liqueur, we were blown away. Mozart Chocolate Cream Pumpkin Spice Liqueur Shot Read our full review of this delicious shot here! While we were meandering around the Italy Pavilion, we noticed that the Cocktail Popsicles are no longer on the menu for the Donkey Cart. Thankfully, we’ve got plenty of other eats and treats to snack on thanks to the 2019 Epcot Food and Wine Festival! Italy Donkey Cart Menu Unfortunately, the wine walk was not available during our visit. Cast Members told us they hope it will return after the conclusion of the Food and Wine Festival. The only flight we saw available inn a wine merchandise shop was the Champagne Flight in France. France Pavilion Champagne Flight In the American Adventure Pavilion, Mmmhops Pale Ale is available once again at Fife and Drum Tavern! They didn’t have this the first day of the Food and Wine Festival, so we’re glad it’s available now. Fife and Drum We found an exciting — and Frozen — new addition to Block and Hans’ beverage offerings. Arendelle Aqua Lemonade has made an early appearance as part of the upcoming Arendelle Aqua Disney color trend (which will become available on September 13th!). Arendelle Aqua Lemonade Learn more about the Arendelle Aqua color trend here! The Arendelle Aqua Lemonade ($13.00) is a frozen lemonade with Monin Cotton Candy and Ole Smoky Blackberry Moonshine. We not only love the color of this drink, but it tasted pretty dang good too. Arendelle Aqua Lemonade Read our full review of the Arendelle Aqua Lemonade here! Epcot Construction Update Future World During our time in Future World, we saw more construction walls. We specifically noticed them near Guest Relations and more near the Play Zone area. Construction Walls Construction Walls Construction is also progressing on Epcot’s highly-anticipated Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind attraction. We noticed a crane near the front of the construction zone that we hadn’t seen on previous visits. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Construction The new coaster is slated to open in time for Disney World’s 50th-anniversary celebrations in 2021 and we’re already counting down the days! Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Construction Read more about Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind here! Construction is also underway on Epcot’s Space 220 restaurant, though we can’t really peek any of the progress from the outside. This dining location is expected to open this year, and we can hardly contain our anticipation! Space 220 Construction Learn more about Space 220 here! Cool Wash was still closed during our visit, but we did notice some Food and Wine Festival storage containers. Cool Wash In case you missed it, Cool Wash has been added to the booth lineup for this year’s Food & Wine Festival. It will be open starting October 1st and will offer create-your-own slushes! Cool Wash Check out the full Cool Wash Festival menu here! We recently told you that the Odyssey Events Pavilion was sporting some new blue paint, and NOW the building has some new pink paint as well! Odyssey Events Pavilion If you haven’t heard, the NEW Epcot Experience is coming to the Pavilion this October. Odyssey Events Pavilion Read more about the upcoming Epcot Experience here! World Showcase While we were in the Canada Pavilion, we noticed that the decorative construction covers had been taken down due to Hurricane Dorian. During our most recent visit, they hadn’t put the covers back up yet. Canada Pavilion Construction Epcot Merchandise Update Mouse Gear We found a couple new merchandise items in Future World’s Mouse Gear! We spotted the new Loungefly Designer Ears on display, in addition to the SHAG Tiki Room Ears. Loungefly Ears and SHAG Tiki Ears The limited release Loungefly ears feature a sparkly black bow, black headband, and blue vinyl ears decorated with cartoon characters and attractions from the parks!

We love the fact that the penguin (from the belove film, Mary Poppins) is sporting a bow tie! Penguin Cozy Knit We can’t get enough of these adorable Cozy Knits!
