Disney4me Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at EPCOT! France Pavilion And, we’ve got a look at crowds, construction, food, and entertainment! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in! EPCOT Food Update While we were hopping around the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays during our visit, we thought we would stop by the Waffles Booth for a quick treat… Waffle Booth …like the Gingerbread Waffle… Gingerbread Waffle served with Whipped Cream and Citrus Cranberry Sauce …and the Turkey and Waffle! Turkey and Waffle — Stuffing Waffle with Turkey, Gravy, and Cranberry These festive holiday treats look incredible! Take a full look at the Waffles Booth here! EPCOT Construction Update Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind We’ve gotten a whole lot of news about the Guardians of the Galaxy Coaster (and even a sneak peek from Baby Groot riding the attraction himself)! And, each time we see construction in the parks, we get more excited about the attraction’s big debut! Guardians of the Galaxy We noticed more and more wood paneling on the top of the building. Check out Groot riding the upcoming attraction Space 220 Speaking of construction, Space 220 is still moving forward with its construction as Disney gave a look inside the restaurant recently. Space 220 However, the sign is still covered for the restaurant near Mission: SPACE. Take a look at the upcoming Space 220 Harmonious Although we’ve had a bird’s eye view of the construction on Harmonious, we also spotted the barges being built in the World Showcase Lagoon. Harmonious Platform Signs have also been placed around the lagoon so guests can read about the daytime fountain and nighttime spectacular that will be coming soon! Harmonious Signage We can’t wait for the rest of the barges to make their way into the lagoon! Check out all the details on the Harmonious construction here! Italy Pavilion Over at the Italy Pavilion, we’ve been on the lookout for progress on the possible gelato cart. Italy Pavilion Although we can’t see any more building structure sticking out near the construction walls, we’ll have to continue checking back! Get more info on the Italy Pavilion gelato cart here Canada Pavilion The Canada Pavilion closed off the staircase to the uppermost part of the pavilion, and redirected guests to the ramp that was adjacent to it. Canada Pavilion We aren’t sure why the stairs are closed currently, but we’ll keep you updated if we find anything out! Check out the JAMMitors in the Canada Pavilion EPCOT Miscellaneous Update France Pavilion France might be getting a LOT of new things like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and returning spots like the re-opened Chefs de France. However, the perfume shops in the pavilion still haven’t opened to guests yet! France Pavilion The last time we were in the France Pavilion, we noticed that the Givenchy Perfume shop had a few Cast Members decorating the shop for Christmas. Perfume Shop Today, we also noticed that there was a Cast Member in the Guerlain shop. Perfume Shop Hopefully that means that the perfume shops will be opening soon in the France Pavilion! Sneak peek of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Morocco Pavilion Since Disney is taking control of the Morocco Pavilion, most of the spots in the area have closed during this time. Gifts of Morocco Reopened However, the Gifts of Morocco shop on the waterside of the pavilion is welcoming guests once again! Take a look at the details of Morocco’s gifts shops starting to re-open! Yet, the henna station and other parts of the pavilion were closed during our visit (even though Spice Road Table has opened to everyone today again)! Morocco Pavilion United Kingdom Pavilion We also noticed in the UK Pavilion that a super cute ECV was decorated like a VW Beetle as whoever owned it hopped around the park. ECV Talk about riding around World Showcase in style! Check out this Beatles and Queen merch in the UK Pavilion Norway Pavilion Since we can’t help but be excited that the characters are out and about in Disney World, we were glad to see that Elsa was out greeting guests at the Royal Somerhaus in the Norway Pavilion! Elsa With a smile and a heart full of magic, she is bound to make your day special! We’ve got a look at EPCOT’s holiday entertainment EPCOT Crowd Update The crowds were HOPPING in EPCOT today during our visit with a bunch of guests returning to Disney World to celebrate the holiday season. Crowds Disney recently increased its capacity to 35%, with Park Passes consistently selling out throughout the month of December (including Christmas and New Year’s)! Crowds However, we saw quite a few people in EPCOT as families, individuals, and others head back to the parks to watch the cavalcades, ride attractions, and explore the park! Crowds Compared to past years, the crowds are not bad, but the parks are busier than we’ve seen them since the reopening!
