It’s been a busy week in Epcot! We found food updates, construction, completed refurbs, new rides and restaurants, plus more new merch! Join us at Epcot to see what we found!

But first, don’t forget…there’s less than a month left in the Food and Wine Festival — our very favorite thing in Epcot! Be sure to check this year’s festival out before it ends!

Food and Beverage Updates Around the World Showcase

Hard seltzer is the new hard soda! In the American Adventure Pavilion, they have added White Claw Black Cherry Hard Seltzer to the Ice Cream and Beverage Cart in the pavilion.

Italy’s Pop-Up Wine Bar has returned! This first showed up last year but then disappeared. We’ll see if this time it stays longer!

Currently, the specialty drink at the Pop-Up Wine Bar is a Bellini al Melograno.
