Spaceship Earth

This is where we take you on a virtual walk around Epcot to discuss what new construction, food, and merchandise we’ve spotted!

There’s a lot happening at Epcot right now, including some exciting new World Showcase Character Plush and Mexico merch, so let’s get started!

Future World

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Coaster

Construction continues on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind! Funny it still looks like Universe of Energy to us, but it’s comin’ along!

Space 220 Restaurant

Meanwhile, construction on the Space 22o Restaurant is also ongoing. Will it be opening this winter as initially projected? We sure hope so!

Imagination Area

Near the Imagination pavilion, some new light posts have magically appeared!

Future World Imagination Area Lights

They feature a very sleek, modern design, with tall cylindrical tubes. We can’t wait to see what they look like when they’re illuminated at night!

Electric Umbrella

There were gray clouds over the Electric Umbrella as the BB-8 Steins were once again removed from the menu (not literally, but figuratively-speaking, of course!)

We hope these little cuties roll back in soon! Everything tastes better when it’s sipped from a BB-8 Stein! But do not fear, because he is still available at places like Backlot Express in Hollywood Studios!

Coral Reef and The Seas Area

Over by Coral Reef Restaurant and The Seas, Disney’s added some shrubbery to gussy up the construction that’s happening over there!

The greenery looks much better than all boring ol’ construction walls, so we appreciate the extra effort Disney makes to shield our eyes!

Sunshine Seasons

Swinging by the Land pavilion, we noticed Sunshine Seasons is now selling Sparking SmartWater! Fancy! Fancy!

This will be a refreshing beverage to enjoy after a ride on Soarin’ Around the World!

World Showcase

Epcot’s Skyliner Station

We saw passengers boarding gondolas once more at Epcot’s Skyliner Station over by the International gateway entrance.

Disney closed the Disney Skyliner after a collision occurred on October 5th, but we’re glad to see it up and runnin’ again!

Karamell-Küche

At Karamell-Küche in the Germany pavilion, we spotted a new Pumpkin Caramel Cupcake! It features an incredible homemade Werther’s Original Caramel that’s made fresh right at Karamell-Küche!

Over at the France pavilion, Impressions de France is now closed to make way for the Beauty and the Beast sing-along that is coming soon!

Kringla Bakeri og Kafe

At Kringla in the Norway pavilion, we noticed they were offering a Frozen Skyliner Cookie for $4.99. Put your head back on, Olaf!

We’ve seen these cookies at various places throughout the parks, but found it rather poetic that the sisters were hangin’ out in Norway!
