Hello 👋 to all our DFB friends from EPCOT!
We walked around the park on Halloween to see if we could spot any new stuff, so here’s what we found!
EPCOT Food Updates
Sunshine Seasons
When we found out there was a Halloween Cupcake at Sunshine Seasons, we had to try it out! This treat comes with a choice of either chocolate or vanilla cake with buttercream icing and is topped with Halloween sprinkles and a white chocolate Mickey pumpkin.
We thought this $5.99 cupcake tasted fresh, and we liked that there was plenty of icing. But it could’ve been a little more creative for a one-time-only Halloween cupcake, you know? It kind of looks like a bad grocery store cupcake? I mean in 2018 they had that epic Mike Wazowski…his little wrinkly hands!!!!! But for those who just want a simple cupcake, this is…fine.

Desserts and Champagne
We found a Halloween Liquid Nitro Cake Pop at Desserts and Champagne at World Showplace. This is a liquid nitro (I.e. liquid nitrogen, which is what they use to flash-freeze the cake pop) chocolate cake pop decorated with Halloween sprinkles. The liquid nitrogen it’s dipped in, though, gives it an extra spooky effect because it’s all smoky and stuff!
We found the flavor to be about the same as the other cake pops we’ve tried here, but there are a LOT of sprinkles, so this is something a little extra for sprinkles fans. It’s $4 and relatively large, which also makes it a pretty good deal!

Traveler’s Cafe
Sometimes, you just want a cookie, so we headed over to Traveler’s Cafe to pick up a Halloween Sugar Cookie. This is your typical Starbucks sugar cookie, but with spooky sprinkles. We think this is a cookie that kids will definitely enjoy!
We found the $3.29 cookie almost TOO sweet, but if that’s your jam, you would probably love it!

Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe
We were THRILLED to see the Rice Cream back at Kringla og Kafe. It’s a simple treat made with a vanilla rice pudding base and a strawberry glaze on top. But it’s SO yummy and the perfect light snack.
However, we thought it was a little lacking because it used to fill up the entire cup. The Rice Cream is $3.29.

House of Good Fortune
We love trying out the interesting Lay’s potato chip flavors at House of Good Fortune! And we were happy to see that the Fried Crab Lay’s were back!
These chips are a seafood lover’s dream — the saltiness of the chip and the crab go perfectly together!

EPCOT Merchandise Updates
Mouse Gear
We recently posted about a ton of new MagicBands we found at the parks, including the Wishes Come True Blue MagicBand. This MagicBand, which costs $34.99 has a Sorcerer Mickey theme!
We also spotted a Holiday MagicBand, because it is officially the holidays at Disney World! This bright red MagicBand just puts us in a festive mood with its holiday sweater vibes. This MagicBand is $29.99.
Then there’s this Wishables Slap Bracelet MagicBand! It’s so cute with its little Wishables heads of Pluto, Mickey, Minnie. and Donald! We think the kids will love this MagicBand, but we’re loving it, too! It’s $24.99.
This is the way. And well, it’s no secret that we love Baby Yoda, so we squealed when we saw the new Baby Yoda Phone Cases. And THEY’RE HOLIDAY CASES, TOO! This Christmas Lights Baby Yoda Phone Case features The Child in his special pram, all decorated with holiday lights. This case is $34.99.
There’s also this Seasons Greetings Star Wars Phone Case that features sweet Baby Yoda with the message of “Merry Force Be With You” (!!!) and “Season’s Greetings.”
He’s surrounded by a variety of snowflakes. This case is $29.99.

The Snowflake Mickey Balloon Ears are back in stock at Mouse Gear. We love the wintry vibe these give off!
Also, THEY LIGHT UP!!!!

House of Good Fortune
We don’t just EAT chips at House of Good Fortune. Sometimes we check out the merchandise, too! And we discovered the cutest Rat Plushes you could ever hope to find to celebrate the Year of the Rat. And they’re on sale, like this Pineapple Rat Plush, which is $16.95 (it was $22.95).
There’s also this Big Red Rat Plush that could double as a pillow for $12.95 (originally $20.95).
This smaller Red Rat Plush is $9.95 (previously $12.95).
The Watermelon Rat Plush is $9.95 (previously $12.95)
Rinse
Rinse Bath and Body Co. has returned to EPCOT with a new festival booth, which is located near Showplace Plaza across from Port of Entry. This booth used to house Food and Wine Festival merchandise, but now it’s full of soaps, oils, shower bombs, lotions, and more!
Due to the global health crisis, no samples are available, but Cast Members are super helpful if you have any questions about anything!
We love bath and body products, so it’s great to see this back at EPCOT!
That’s it for us this time around EPCOT, but we’ll be back soon with more updates!

You might want to mention that people with Asthma should not have the Liquid Nitro cake pops. Liquid Nitro can be dangerous for us and set off an Asthma attack.
