If you haven’t been to EPCOT in a while, there’s a lot going on!

With the start of the holiday season, some major construction projects happening, and new additions coming in the future, EPCOT is the place to be! So for those who haven’t stopped by in the past week or so…here’s everything that’s new.

EPCOT Food Updates

EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays

The biggest thing to know is that the Festival of the Holidays kicked off on November 25th! We went around to all of the food booths, watched all the entertainment, and covered the new festival merchandise.

If you’re visiting soon, make sure to check out our full festival guide — complete with reviews of all the holiday kitchens for this year!

EPCOT Construction Updates

Cool Wash

Cool Wash is the snack stand that’s located near Test Track, and it has been through quite a bit this year. It hasn’t reopened since the pandemic, and a few months ago, it went under construction.

We spotted a new sign on the front of the building a few weeks ago, but that sign has since been removed entirely. Looks like we’ll have to wait and see what happens here!

Holiday Decorations

As part of the holiday season, EPCOT has now been decked out in Christmas decor all over! We’ve seen wreaths on festival booths, garlands on gift shops, and of course, a giant tree at the entrance to World Showcase.

The stunning tree is topped with an angel holding a globe and has nods to all the World Showcase countries throughout. Snap a photo with it if you’re visiting soon!

EPCOT Merchandise Updates

Pin Traders

In Pin Traders at the front of the park, we spotted some new items in the glass display cases. First, there was this new Figment pin…

…and then we noticed this pack of TRON patches!

Since they’re both locked up in the display case, you’ll need to get a Cast Member to fetch it for you if you’d like to purchase.

Creations Shop

There was a LOT of new merchandise in Creations Shop this week! First we got this Walt Disney World Metal Cup for $9.99.

We spotted this Retro Mickey and Friends Water Bottle at Disneyland Resort already, but now you can get it in EPCOT for $19.99.

Ready to do some holiday baking? This Mickey Santa Cake Pan will be perfect for the season. Get it now for $29.99.

And if that’s your goal, make sure to snag the Christmas Cookie Cutters for $24.99.

There were multiple new Christmas ornament options as well, including the Christmas Bauble Ornament Set for $24.99…

…the Mickey Ornament Set for $29.99…

…the Mickey and Minnie Christmas Ornament for $22.99…

…and the Olaf Christmas Ornament for $24.99. That tree will be COVERED in Disney spirit!

If you’re stocking up your winter wardrobe, pick up this Pink Mickey Long-Sleeve Tee for $39.99.

For those starting out with pin trading, this Disney Princess Pin Trading Starter Set is $34.99.

And finally, there’s a new 50th Anniversary Jacket for $69.99. Hurry and grab it before the 50th Anniversary ends on March 31st, 2023.

Wow, that’s a lot of shopping for one store!

Mission: SPACE Cargo Bay

At the exit of Mission: SPACE, you can find some new merchandise, including this Star Wars Journal Set for $16.99.

Want something not Disney-specific? Get the I Need My Space Shirt. Relatable!

It’s available for $29.99.

Disney Traders

At the entrance of World Showcase, you’ll find Disney Traders, with a fair collection of Marvel merchandise. We spotted this Marvel Comic Shirt…

Pick it up for $34.99.

Mexico Pavilion

Inside the Mexico Pavilion, we spotted this Coco Embroidery Kit.

You can get them for $19.99 each.

Gateway Gifts

Head to Gateway Gifts for some new merchandise inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas. The Jack Hot Cocoa Surprise Melt is $18.99.

There’s also a coffin-shaped pack of Nightmare Before Christmas Gummy Worms.

They’re $10.99 per box, but we’d want to buy them for the container alone!

Port of Entry

We already spotted this Alice in Wonderland Shirt at Disneyland Resort, but now it’s in EPCOT.

It’s priced at $39.99 and those long sleeves will keep you warm in the winter weather.

Northwest Mercantile

At the gift shop in the Canada Pavilion, we found this water bottle for $29.99.
