Disney4me Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 Greetings from EPCOT, where everywhere you turn right now… 2021 EPCOT Festival of the Arts … you’ll find a work of ART! The 2021 EPCOT Festival of the Arts is one week old today, so we’re exploring all the sights (and tastes!) of EPCOT’s first Festival of the year. But we’ve also got some new eats, drinks, and fun merchandise finds, so let’s hop right in! And let’s start with FOOD… EPCOT Food Updates Yorkshire County Fish Shop We discovered the return of the Chicken and Mushroom Pie at the Yorkshire County Fish Shop in the United Kingdom pavilion! Chicken and Mushroom Pie It’s definitely comfort food season with the cooler temps, and we were glad to see this dish as an option at the fish-and-chips stop once more. Click here for our review of the Chicken and Mushroom Pie! Joy of Tea and House of Good Fortune You can currently try the new Shanghai Milk Candy Bubble Tea at the Joy of Tea kiosk in China! Shanghai Milk Candy Bubble Tea in EPCOT’s China Pavilion This unique sip features Black Tea infused with liquefied White Rabbit Creamy Candy. See our review of this sweet sip here! A stop by the House of Good Fortune, also in the China pavilion, revealed a new-to-us packaged treat. Custard Mochi Check out the cute Custard Mochi! Custard Mochi We found it available in Kiwi and Lemon. Joffrey’s Coffee and Tea Kiosk And while we’re busy enjoying the Festival of the Arts, we did happen to spot one last offering from the 2020 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays at the Joffrey’s Coffee and Tea kiosk between the Canada and United Kingdom pavilions. Pastries at Joffrey’s The Caramel Tinsel Donuts (YEP! The ones topped with crumbled TWIX!) are still available here… for now. Caramel Tinsel Donut Grab one while you can! Click here to see what Joffrey’s is serving up for the Festival of the Arts! EPCOT Festival of the Arts Updates Pop Eats! Food Studio The Pop Eats! Food Studio — which is one of several Food Studios celebrating the Culinary Arts at this year’s Festival of the Arts — has seen a little change-up in serving style for one of its dishes. POP EATS! The Grilled Cheese dishes are currently accompanied by Tomato Soup served up in paper cups, as opposed to the signature Pop Eats! Tomato Soup can. Pop Eats Booth Now, the Tomato Soup Can Bloody Mary is still being served up in the themed tins. Tomato Soup Can Bloody Mary No official word yet on if the Soup will be served in the cans again sometime moving forward, but we’ll keep an eye out! Click here to find our review of Pop Eats! Germany Train Display Celebrates the Festival And EPCOT’s tiniest residents are officially celebrating the Festival of the Arts as well, now that the Festival banners are posted in the Germany pavilion’s charming miniature village! EPCOT’s Germany Pavilion Train Display It’s so fun to see how even the train display changes in EPCOT for the seasons.

Fun Festival Photo Ops And don’t forget… YOU can transform into Figment with this fun Future World photo op! While you can most certainly pose in front of the “two tiny wings” and “horns of a steer” in tribute to our purple pigmented pal, PhotoPass photographers can take a Magic Shot for you in this area, too, adding some extra pixie dust to your picture. Find MORE Festival of the Arts photo ops here! EPCOT Construction Updates EPCOT’s Italy Pavilion Over in the Italy pavilion, you can now spot a structure popping up from behind the construction walls. Italy Pavilion Construction It’s here where we should see a new Gelateria serving guests in the future! Italy Pavilion construction and Butterfly Photo Op For now, though, we can take part in a little Butterfly Wings photo op in front of it while we wait. EPCOT Merchandise Updates Mouse Gear We’ve got some fun finds from Mouse Gear, starting with this new HAPPY Castle t-shirt! Happy T-shirt This one’s $24.99. Happy T-shirt And it’s just so much fun to see the truly adorable Chip Teacup and Spoon Set! Chip Mug Our little friend from Beauty and the Beast has been, from what we understand, a popular pal around these parts! Chip Teacup Set Chip is $19.99, and you can find him on shopDisney, too. Take a closer look at this too-cute Chip set here! Mitsukoshi In Mitsukoshi — the popular shop in the Japan pavilion — we found Sonic The Hedgehog Face Covers. Sonic Face Cover These are $16.95 with adjustable straps. Sonic the Hedgehog Face Cover And, while we’re here, it’s always cool to see the Daruma Dolls on display, isn’t it? Daruma Dolls You can stop by and read about the story of these dolls while picking up a Daruma of your own.

WonderGround Gallery You’ll notice the sign reads that Deluxe Prints are $30.00 each when you buy TWO (typically $39.99 each).

France Pavilion Portraits We noticed their return when the Festival of the Arts kicked off just last week.
