Hello from EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth looking as gorgeous as ever!
EPCOT is sort of in a weird transition right now between holiday decorations and getting ready for Festival of the Artslater this week. We’ve seen a lot of changes recently in the park, so come with us to check out what’s new in EPCOT!
EPCOT Food Updates
France — L’Artisan des Glaces
The new seasonal ice cream sandwich over in the France pavilion at L’Artisan des Glaces is the giant raspberry macaron with vanilla ice cream.
Giant macarons!
You can get this one or the chocolate for $7 each.
EPCOT Construction Updates
The American Adventure
Construction is being done on the America Gardens Theatre. Structures have been put up around the stage.
Things are happening!
This is probably to get ready for the Disney on Broadway Concert Series coming for Festival of the Arts!

EPCOT Merchandise Updates
Creations Shop
In Creations, we found the Valentine’s Day Dooney & Bourke collection that we’ve seen in the other parks!
So pretty!
The pattern shows Minnie and Mickey on a very cute Valentine’s date!
Click here to see more about this collection!
We also found some new kids Christmas sets in here (weirdly enough, in January!). This set is $34.99.
Look at that hat!
There were also these super cute kids holiday pants you can get for $29.99.
So festive!
We also saw a new baseball jersey in Creations! The front has the Disney World logo and the big 71 on it…
Fun!
…and the back has Walt Disney World written across it! You can get it for $59.99.
Ready to play ball
There’s also a new “I Lava You” shirt in here which is just adorable for $24.99.
We Lava This!
A new “My Happy Place” gold necklace is in Creations for $24.99.
We agree!
The back shows Cinderella Castle!
A bit different than the jewelry we usually see!
Perfect to add a little glam to your outfit!
The Seas
Inside the store in The Seas pavilion, we found a new 50th anniversary plastic kids bracelet. It has a pretty purplish Mickey on it as well as some ribbon.
Cute!
You can get it for $9.99.
Disney Traders
Inside Disney Traders, we found the “it’s a small world” block set that we’ve seen around Disney World.
Perfect for the kiddos
They also had a new kids Mickey shirt!
Simple but fun!
This shirt is $19.99.
Port of Entry
At Port of Entry, we found those famous 50th anniversary Pink Starbucks Tumblers!
So vibrant!
These are available (while they last) for $49.99.
Norway — The Fjording
The embroidered ears were restocked in the store in Norway!
They back!
These tend to sell out pretty quickly, so we were excited to see them back. You can get them for $29.99.
Click here to see more pictures of the Norway ears!
We also saw some new Frozen-themed jewelry in here! There is an Anna and Elsa necklace set for $29.99…
Best friends necklace!
…and an Olaf necklace!
He’s FUZZY!
We also found these fun Bruni beaded bracelets!
Cutie
That little fire spirit can warm ya up on a cold day!
China — House of Good Fortune
A new panda hat popped up in China, and it’s fuzzy!!
AH!!!
You can grab it for $19.
The American Adventure — Art of Disney
Over in Art of Disney, we saw the Ariel Designer Doll is in stock. She’s in her beautifully redesigned look and is a collector’s item.
SO pretty!
You can get Ariel for $129.99.
Japan — Mitsukoshi
For a little bit, the back of Mitsukoshi was completely empty where all the kimonos usually are.
No merchandise here
But, a few days ago, the section was restocked!
Yay, they’re back!
We also found a new Hunter x Hunter backpack in the store…
New backpack
…as well as these new cute squeeze toy key chains!
Awe!
These keychains are $9.95 each.
United Kingdom — The Crown & Crest
There are new awesome glowing dragon statues inside The Crown & Crest in the U.K. pavilion!
Whoa!
These are $100 each.
EPCOT Additional Updates
Festival of the Arts
More Festival of the Arts decorations have gone up in the World Showcase! We spotted these beautiful rainbows behind the new sign for the festival.
So pretty!
There are also some really cool giant paint tubes!
Click here to see more pictures of the new Festival of the Arts decorations!
Voice of Liberty
The Voices of Liberty are back performing in the Rotunda!
The Voices of Liberty are back in here!
Go by and check them out — you can find showtimes on your My Disney Experience app or outside of the building.
The showtimes can change, though!
This is a great way to cool down and get to hear some beautiful singing.
Gran Fiesta Tour
There are some missing skeletons on Gran Fiesta Tour in the market scene!
Where are they?!
We hope this doesn’t turn into another plant Donald situation!
Trashcans
We saw some no-touch trashcans in the U.K. pavilion! This way, you don’t actually have to use the flap when you go to throw things away. These were mixed in with the regular trashcans throughout the pavilion. We also found these over in World Nature!
No touching!
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure
Finally, Remy’s has gotten rid of the virtual queue system and is now using a regular standby line!
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Standby Line
And, it’s also included in Early Theme Park Entry, so you can rope drop the ride even earlier if you’re staying at a Disney World hotel.
