Spaceship Earth With the Epcot transformation currently underway, along with the recent price increases, and new Star Wars merch that’s been flooding into Disney World lately, there’s much to discuss, so let’s get started!

Chocolate Experience Milk Chocolate Peppermint Brownie At Sunshine Seasons there’s now an actual menu board for the Frozen Arendella Aqua Lemonade. Previously a piece of tape from a label maker had alerted us to the spiked Frozen-themed drink’s presence, but it looks like it’s been made official with the actual sign. At first, we thought they’d misspelled Arendelle, but then remembered Disney serves Odwalla Lemonade — clever, Disney. Very clever.
