Disney4me Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 Welcome, people of EPCOT. EPCOT-ers? EPCOT-ians? Citizens of Epcot? Well, whatever you call yourselves, welcome to our latest EPCOT check-in! Hello, EPCOT! What’s new since our last visit to EPCOT? Any new drinks? New character updates? Let’s find out! EPCOT Food Updates Karamell-Küche One of our FAVORITE shops in Disney World has a new caramel-covered candy apple with rainbow sprinkles! This looks DELICIOUS! You can grab it for $11.99. From (LOTS of) previous experience, you really can’t go wrong with anything at Karamell-Küche. Trust us. Click here to see a review of Werther’s Caramel Marshmallow Cream Whoopie Pie at Karamell-Küche Various Snack Carts Disney made some new packaging for its classic Mickey Premium ice cream bars! 100th-anniversary wrapper Mickey is all dressed up (but he kept his iconic shorts, of course) for the 100th Anniversary celebration! The current going rate for a Mickey Premium bar is $6.25. Click here to see the NEW wrapper in all its glory! The Tea Caddy Over in the U.K. Pavilion, a new Buttermint tea variety is available to try! Team tea or team coffee? The tea is $6.96 or $6 each when you buy four. Trading Post Refreshments Check out these artsy new beer cans from Collective Arts Good Monster! Which one is your favorite? The beer is served in four different cans designed by Canadian artists! You can buy it for $11.98. Mexico Pavilion Over in the Mexico Pavilion, we found some caramel in a wafer cone! What a unique snack! You can get two of these unique treats for $3.49. EPCOT Construction Updates World Celebration Thank GOODNESS EPCOT finally installed a new directional sign; this park is pretty confusing with all that construction! There’s an empty spot at the top for the upcoming Moana walk-through attraction! There’s an empty spot at the top for the upcoming Moana walk-through attraction! Click here to read more about the new sign Morocco Pavilion It looks like they’re working on a little construction in the Morocco Pavilion. More construction! The roof was covered with a tarp during our recent visit. Creations There’s a new 100th Anniversary sign in the Creations store! This new Disney100 display celebrates 100 years of wonder. Check out the new display! The merchandise is all platinum and purple — do you spot any must-have items from the new collection? Disney Traders and Port of Entry Over at both the Disney Traders and Port of Entry shops, the façades were replaced with updated designs now that the Magic Kingdom’s 50th Anniversary is over. The 50th Anniversary details are all gone! It’s nice to see some classic World Showcase theming in the park — it’s been a long time since we’ve seen these kinds of decorations in EPCOT stores. Harmonious Barges We noticed more progress on the Harmonious Barge (de)construction. Say goodbye to those controversial centerpieces! We’re starting to see these things disappear! These barges have been leaving the World Showcase lagoon one piece at a time, but we have a feeling that they’ll be completely gone in the near future! PHOTO: Disney Has DESTROYED an Infamous Part of EPCOT EPCOT Merchandise Updates Mission: Space The gift shop outside of Mission: Space has a fun little NASA astronaut keychain. Do you have SPACE for this buy on your keyring? It’s $9.99, which is a little pricey for a keychain if we do say so ourselves. La Princesa de Cristal We met a talented glass bead artist named Victoria in the Mexico Pavilion! She makes earrings out of her signature character named Squishy. This was so cool to see! As you can see, Squishy is a cute little guy! Who wants a pair? The earrings are $39. Enoteca Castello Here’s a random find for ya! We found some Em-eukal German cough drops in the Italy Pavilion gift shop. Talk about a RANDOM Disney souvenir! If you feel a cold coming on during your trip, you can pick up a pack of lemon-flavored cough drops for $3.99. House of Good Fortune The China Pavilion has a TON of fun merchandise, including these wearable panda paws. We bet you could give a killer high-five with these bad boys. They’re $24.95 if you’re interested in beginning your panda transformation. They’re so fuzzy! Next up, we found a sparkly owl ornament for $9.95. How cute! We’re picturing this ornament on a glamorous tree. Mitsukoshi Department Store Disney is exhausting — especially on your feet! Luckily, this hand and foot massager is available in the Japan Pavilion. This is a NEED! At $3.95, it’s MUCH cheaper than a massage at one of Disney’s spas! Canada Pavilion — Northwest Mercantile The Canada Pavilion was fully stocked with this new red and white Mickey shirt, available for $36.99. Perfect for our Canadian Disney lovers! We also found a new Canadian Mickey jersey for $79.99. Go, team Canada! Finally, show off your love for Canada with this little desk flag! This would look perfect on your desk, don’t you think? It’s available for $6.99. Port of Entry Do you collect pressed pennies? If so, check out the new Grogu Disney100 pressed penny available at the Port of Entry. He’s SO cute! Speaking of collectibles, there are some new BB-8, Rocket, Groot, Indiana Jones, and Figment Disney100 medallions. How fun are these?! We also have to show off this adorable new Enchanted Tiki Room reversible bucket hat for $34.99. Side #1 Flip it inside-out (or outside-in), and you’ve got a totally new hat! Side #2 We’re not sure what this hat is doing in EPCOT, but we’re not complaining. Disney traders Disney Traders has an epic new Black Panther action figure for $29.99. The Black Panther is SUCH a cool hero! This shop had more of the new Disney100 medallions! We found Brave, Frozen, Finding Nemo, and Ratatouille medallions. We want the ALLLL If pennies are more your thing, we spotted a new Rocket & Groot Disney100 pressed penny, too! You could easily collect HUNDREDS of Disney-themed pressed pennies! These make such a good keepsake. Merchandise Carts Outside of Disney traders One of the outdoor Flower & Garden Festival booths has some new Mickey… New topiary alert! …and Minnie Mouse topiaries. These topiaries are $550.99 each, a hefty price to pay to bring a little Flower & Garden Festival magic home with you. Minnie’s got her signature bow! We must admit, these topiaries look a little bare at the moment. Maybe it’s a like a haircut — it will look better when it’s more grown out! Pin Traders The Pin Traders store has a new Stitch Dancing Characters pin for $19.99… Hey, Stitch! …as well as a new Star Wars arcade pin for $19.99… The ultimate combination: Star Wars + retro video games! … and a Car-themed Disney Magical Mystery pin bag for $7.99. Who knew Disney had so many unique cars! Disney never ceases to come out with some FUN new pins! Creations Store Dooney and Bourke released a new Moana bag for $268. It’s so pretty! A person can never have too many accessories! Check out these fun Lion King rings for $19.99… So cute! …and this new Lion King Baublebar necklace for $60. We love the charms! This new Minnie Mouse tank top for $39.99 has an adorable peter pan-style collar! This is perfect for spring! If you’re headed to the beach, the park, or just love to relax outside, this new Toy Story blanket is perfect for you! You can grab it for $49.99. It even comes with a handy carrying case! The new Magic Kingdom Starbucks tumbler made its way to EPCOT! You can grab this new bottle for $34.99. We love the castle illustration!

Dale Munchling Speaking of Munchlings, we also saw a new Pluto Munchling throw blanket for $59.99. It’s even wrapped in a bow! For our Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind fans, we’ve got TWO new pins to share! There’s this Wonders of Xandar pin that’s priced at $11.99… New pin alert! …and this Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind Nova Corps pin that’s priced at $14.99. Nova Corps: Activate! Looking for a new addition to your fridge magnet collection? How about a Mickey-shaped food magnet for $14.99? Look at all those snacks! Or, instead, maybe you’d like this “My favorite food” magnet, which is also $14.99. YES — except for the turkey legs (those are a NO for us) To round out the new magnet trio, we also spotted this Disney cats magnet for $14.99. How cute! If your phone is looking a little naked, dress it up with a new Disney Pets phone case for $34.99! It’s got all our favorite pets! If you’re more of a cat person, check out the new Disney Cats phone case for $34.99. Which is your favorite cat? Calling all Stitch lovers! Just in time for the Disney100 celebration, we found a new Stitch backpack for just $29.99. It’s the perfect size for travel Your little ones can show off their love for Spider-Man… What a MARVEL-ous shirt! … or Captain America with these new Marvel t-shirts. Both are $29.99.

Merchandise Cart in the America Pavilion Disney has a delicious new Whimsical Waffles mystery pin set priced at $39.99. We need them ALL!
