EPCOT Construction Update EPCOT Monorail After a VERY long closure, the EPCOT Monorail line officially reopened to guests on July 18th and it’s been taking guests between the Transportation and Ticket Center ever since! Well…kind of! Last week (only TWO days after the monorail opened) it experienced a short closure and when we were visiting, there was another temporary outage. EPCOT Monorail But, unlike the closure last week, this one didn’t last long and it was back up and running pretty shortly after closing. Learn More About the Reopened Monorail Line HERE! Flower Beds And, all remnants of the previous Flower & Garden Festival are starting to disappear in the park! Disney transforms the greenery that lines the bridges to World Showcase with flowers during the springtime festival every year (and they even did it on the My Disney Experience app too!), but it looks like it’s time to say goodbye to orange, yellow, pink, and red flowers… Some are still filled with flowers… …because almost all of them have been removed and we’ve been left with a view of dirt. But others have been cleared Disney normally transforms the space into something entirely different after the festival, so we’ll keep an eye out for what’s to come in this area! Check Out MORE Construction Updates From Disney World HERE! EPCOT Merchandise Update Mouse Gear Of course, we took a little break from the heat to do some shopping and noticed that there was a NEW Limited Edition MagicBand in Mouse Gear celebrating the upcoming Marvel movie, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. The band itself is red and has the master of Kung Fu and Brother Hand on one side… Shang Chi MagicBand …and other details from the movie on the other, including “Shang-Chi.” Now, because this is a limited edition, Disney will only be selling 1,500 of them and, according to Cast Members, they are going fast. So, if you’d like to get one for yourself, you might want to hurry! It’ll cost ya $39.99. Shang Chi MagicBand And, we spotted a new Floral Disney Tumbler on the shelves! The pink water bottle is covered in a floral pattern (with Mickey Mouse mixed in, of course) and says “You had me at Walt Disney World” on one side. New Floral Tumbler It’s available at multiple stores throughout Disney World and costs $27.99. Click HERE to Check Out the NEWEST Pair of Minnie Ears in Disney World!
