Hey everybody! It’s time for another roundup of What’s New in Epcot!
With the Epcot transformation currently underway, along with the recent price increases, and new Star Wars merch that’s been flooding into Disney World lately, there’s much to discuss, so let’s get started!
Future World
Over in Future World, construction continues on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind!

Meanwhile, Space 220 Restaurant construction continues and not much has changed since last week. Will this intergalactic restaurant be open by wintertime as originally projected? We sure hope so!
Find out more about Space 220 Restaurant here!
A trip by the Food and Wine Festival booth appropriately called the Chocolate Experience yielded some Pumpkin Spice Caramel squares which are now available for purchase!

And new to us were these Milk Chocolate Peppermint Brownie squares! They got our tastebuds pumped and primed for the holiday season! Epcot’s International Festival of the Holidays is just around the corner, my people!
At Sunshine Seasons there’s now an actual menu board for the Frozen Arendella Aqua Lemonade. Previously a piece of tape from a label maker had alerted us to the spiked Frozen-themed drink’s presence, but it looks like it’s been made official with the actual sign.
At first, we thought they’d misspelled Arendelle, but then remembered Disney serves Odwalla Lemonade — clever, Disney. Very clever.

Also, Sunshine Seasons now has its Oreo Chocolate Mousse labeled as plant-based, which makes it the perfect dairy-free delight!
Not even Electric Umbrella could shield us from the downpour of price increases these last couple of weeks at Disney World. We noticed several drinks had gone up in price (hittin’ us where it hurts.)
Heineken’s gone up to $8.75 from $8.50, Bud Light went up to $8 from $7.75, Strawberry Margarita up to $13 from $11.50, and Pina Colada up to $12 from $10.50.
World Showcase
Time to see what’s crackalackin down by the ol’ World Showcase! For the first order of business, we saw some scaffolding and construction occurring at the Canada pavilion while their theater undergoes some renovations.

At Canada’s Le Cellier there’s a slew of new fall-flavored entrees and sides! We spotted a new Lobster Poutine, Maple Sweet Potato Casserole, Pumpkin Ale Steamed Mussels, Flavors of Fall Salad, Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail, Cocoa and Coffee Crusted Venison, Duck and Dumplings, and Wyoming Bison Strip Loin! Holy moly!
Meanwhile, they’ve removed their Summer Tomato and Watermelon Salad, BBQ Smoked Half Chicken, Seared George’s Banks Scallops, and Chateaubriand for Two.
Also, we noticed the Steak and Frites is now a USDA Prime New York Strip Steak with Cheesy French Fry Potato Gratin. The previous Four-Cheese Macaroni and Cheese has been given another cheese and is now, drum roll, please…. Five-Cheese Macaroni and Cheese!
But that’s not all our friends from the north have cooked up for us this week! The Canada Popcorn Kiosk has added a Frozen Coke for $5 and Frozen Coke with Crown Royal Whisky for $11! Way to go, Canada!
You can also snag your Oogie Boogie or Green Cauldron Popcorn Bucket at Canada’s Popcorn Cart!
While passing through England, we saw Yorkshire County Fish Shop was slangin’ something other than fish and chips! They had the Skyliner Cookie for $4.99, despite the Skyliner not currently working. =(
The America pavilion’s Fife and Drum Tavern’s menu reflected the same Popcorn and Pretzel price increases we’d seen throughout the rest of the parks.
Also, Bud Light had up to $8 from $7.75, Yuengling up to $8.50 from $8.25, Sam Adams up to $9.75 from $9.50, and Frozen Stag Lemonade up to $14 from $12.75.
At the Germany Bier Cart: we said “hallo” again to Mezzo Mix, now being served as a frozen slushy spiked with bourbon or without.

We also noticed our lederhosen weren’t the only things getting hiked up as Schofferhofer, Beck’s, and Warsteiner Dunkel also saw price increases. The standard-sized Schofferhofer, Beck’s, and Warsteinger Dunkel prices increased from $9.75 to $10. And the souvenir cup price increased from $15.00 to $15.25.
König Ludwig Weissbier’s standard-size price increased from $10.50 to $10.75 and it’s souviner cup price increased from $15.25 to $16.00.

We love how Pluto is facing backward on the back! We definitely had some shirts like this in the 90s — and you know how Disney is bringing it hard right now with all the retro-style merch like the Mousercise line we told you about yesterday and the Retro Mickey Mouse Club gear we’ve been spotting at the parks lately!
Here’s the Donald Duck version!
