What’s New in EPCOT: Festival of the Arts Displays and a Sunny Popcorn Bucket Appear!

We popped into EPCOT for a quick stroll yesterday!

EPCOT

EPCOT International Festival of the Arts kicks off this FRIDAY and we are SO looking forward to eating our way around a new year of the fest. For now, we’re taking a look at some of the preparations and more food, construction, and merchandise updates!

EPCOT Food Updates

The first VERY exciting thing we spotted in this EPCOT was the Yellow Mickey Popcorn Bucket we found at the Popcorn Cart near the Imagination Pavilion!

Yellow Popcorn Bucket

This bucket was in Disneyland a few years back but now we’re seeing it in Disney World. We haven’t spotted this bucket available anywhere else yet but we’ll be sure to keep you updated if we do see it somewhere!

EPCOT Construction Updates

It’s ALMOST time for the EPCOT Festival of the Arts! It kicks off on Friday, so you know some set-up is happening over in the ‘COT. We spotted Fest of the Arts signage on a lot of booths, festival theming elements, AND festival photo ops!

And yep, we took pictures of ALLLL of ’em! Check out the photo ops here and the booths here!

We also noticed that the Purple Martin nests that typically sit in Future World had been taken down. The poles are still there, so it’s possible these birdy homes are just gone temporarily.

Mouse Gear

Mouse Gear had the new Peach MagicBand and the Navy MagicBand for $14.99 each.
