Welcome, people of EPCOT. EPCOT-ers? EPCOT-ians? Citizens of Epcot? Well, whatever you call yourselves, welcome to our latest EPCOT check-in!

Hello, EPCOT!

What’s new since our last visit to EPCOT? Any new drinks? New character updates? Let’s find out!

EPCOT Food Updates

Karamell-Küche

One of our FAVORITE shops in Disney World has a new caramel-covered candy apple with rainbow sprinkles!

This looks DELICIOUS!

You can grab it for $11.99. From (LOTS of) previous experience, you really can’t go wrong with anything at Karamell-Küche. Trust us.

Various Snack Carts

Disney made some new packaging for its classic Mickey Premium ice cream bars!

100th-anniversary wrapper

Mickey is all dressed up (but he kept his iconic shorts, of course) for the 100th Anniversary celebration! The current going rate for a Mickey Premium bar is $6.25.

Click here to see the NEW wrapper in all its glory!

The Tea Caddy

Over in the U.K. Pavilion, a new Buttermint tea variety is available to try!

Team tea or team coffee?

The tea is $6.96 or $6 each when you buy four.

Trading Post Refreshments

Check out these artsy new beer cans from Collective Arts Good Monster!

Which one is your favorite?

The beer is served in four different cans designed by Canadian artists! You can buy it for $11.98.

Mexico Pavilion

Over in the Mexico Pavilion, we found some caramel in a wafer cone!

What a unique snack!

You can get two of these unique treats for $3.49.

EPCOT Construction Updates

World Celebration

Thank GOODNESS EPCOT finally installed a new directional sign; this park is pretty confusing with all that construction!

There’s an empty spot at the top for the upcoming Moana walk-through attraction!

Click here to read more about the new sign

Morocco Pavilion

It looks like they’re working on a little construction in the Morocco Pavilion.

More construction!

The roof was covered with a tarp during our recent visit.

Creations

There’s a new 100th Anniversary sign in the Creations store! This new Disney100 display celebrates 100 years of wonder.

Check out the new display!

The merchandise is all platinum and purple — do you spot any must-have items from the new collection?

Disney Traders and Port of Entry

Over at both the Disney Traders and Port of Entry shops, the façades were replaced with updated designs now that the Magic Kingdom’s 50th Anniversary is over.

The 50th Anniversary details are all gone!

It’s nice to see some classic World Showcase theming in the park — it’s been a long time since we’ve seen these kinds of decorations in EPCOT stores.

Harmonious Barges

We noticed more progress on the Harmonious Barge (de)construction. Say goodbye to those controversial centerpieces!

We’re starting to see these things disappear!

These barges have been leaving the World Showcase lagoon one piece at a time, but we have a feeling that they’ll be completely gone in the near future!

EPCOT Merchandise Updates

Mission: Space

The gift shop outside of Mission: Space has a fun little NASA astronaut keychain.

Do you have SPACE for this buy on your keyring?

It’s $9.99, which is a little pricey for a keychain if we do say so ourselves.

La Princesa de Cristal

We met a talented glass bead artist named Victoria in the Mexico Pavilion! She makes earrings out of her signature character named Squishy.

This was so cool to see!

As you can see, Squishy is a cute little guy!

Who wants a pair?

The earrings are $39.

Enoteca Castello

Here’s a random find for ya! We found some Em-eukal German cough drops in the Italy Pavilion gift shop.

Talk about a RANDOM Disney souvenir!

If you feel a cold coming on during your trip, you can pick up a pack of lemon-flavored cough drops for $3.99.

House of Good Fortune

The China Pavilion has a TON of fun merchandise, including these wearable panda paws. We bet you could give a killer high-five with these bad boys. They’re $24.95 if you’re interested in beginning your panda transformation.

They’re so fuzzy!

Next up, we found a sparkly owl ornament for $9.95.

How cute!

We’re picturing this ornament on a glamorous tree.

Mitsukoshi Department Store

Disney is exhausting — especially on your feet! Luckily, this hand and foot massager is available in the Japan Pavilion.

This is a NEED!

At $3.95, it’s MUCH cheaper than a massage at one of Disney’s spas!

Canada Pavilion — Northwest Mercantile

The Canada Pavilion was fully stocked with this new red and white Mickey shirt, available for $36.99.

Perfect for our Canadian Disney lovers!

We also found a new Canadian Mickey jersey for $79.99.

Go, team Canada!

Finally, show off your love for Canada with this little desk flag!

This would look perfect on your desk, don’t you think?

It’s available for $6.99.

Port of Entry

Do you collect pressed pennies? If so, check out the new Grogu Disney100 pressed penny available at the Port of Entry.

He’s SO cute!

Speaking of collectibles, there are some new BB-8, Rocket, Groot, Indiana Jones, and Figment Disney100 medallions.

How fun are these?!

We also have to show off this adorable new Enchanted Tiki Room reversible bucket hat for $34.99.

Side #1

Flip it inside-out (or outside-in), and you’ve got a totally new hat!

Side #2

We’re not sure what this hat is doing in EPCOT, but we’re not complaining.

Disney Traders

Disney Traders has an epic new Black Panther action figure for $29.99.

The Black Panther is SUCH a cool hero!

This shop had more of the new Disney100 medallions! We found Brave, Frozen, Finding Nemo, and Ratatouille medallions.

We want the ALLLL

If pennies are more your thing, we spotted a new Rocket & Groot Disney100 pressed penny, too!

You could easily collect HUNDREDS of Disney-themed pressed pennies!

These make such a good keepsake.

Merchandise Carts Outside of Disney traders

One of the outdoor Flower & Garden Festival booths has some new Mickey…

New topiary alert!

…and Minnie Mouse topiaries. These topiaries are $550.99 each, a hefty price to pay to bring a little Flower & Garden Festival magic home with you.

Minnie’s got her signature bow!

We must admit, these topiaries look a little bare at the moment. Maybe it’s a like a haircut — it will look better when it’s more grown out!

Pin Traders

Hey, Stitch!

…as well as a new Star Wars arcade pin for $19.99…

Being strong is fabulous!

Disney’s Munchling collection is growing! We found two sweet Chip…

Chip Munchling

…and Dale dark chocolate-scented cupcake Munchling plushes for $39.99 each.

Dale Munchling

Speaking of Munchlings, we also saw a new Pluto Munchling throw blanket for $59.99.

It’s even wrapped in a bow!

For our Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind fans, we’ve got TWO new pins to share! There’s this Wonders of Xandar pin that’s priced at $11.99…

New pin alert!

…and this Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind Nova Corps pin that’s priced at $14.99.

Nova Corps: Activate!

Looking for a new addition to your fridge magnet collection? How about a Mickey-shaped food magnet for $14.99?

Look at all those snacks!

Or, instead, maybe you’d like this “My favorite food” magnet, which is also $14.99.

YES — except for the turkey legs (those are a NO for us)

To round out the new magnet trio, we also spotted this Disney cats magnet for $14.99.

How cute!

If your phone is looking a little naked, dress it up with a new Disney Pets phone case for $34.99!

It’s got all our favorite pets!

If you’re more of a cat person, check out the new Disney Cats phone case for $34.99.

Which is your favorite cat?

Calling all Stitch lovers! Just in time for the Disney100 celebration, we found a new Stitch backpack for just $29.99.

It’s the perfect size for travel

Your little ones can show off their love for Spider-Man…

What a MARVEL-ous shirt!

… or Captain America with these new Marvel t-shirts. Both are $29.99.

This shirt is so cool!

There’s also a Thor shirt for adults that’s $39.99.

We LOVE Thor!

Merchandise Cart in the America Pavilion

Disney has a delicious new Whimsical Waffles mystery pin set priced at $39.99.

We need them ALL!

To match the new Canada desk flag we found in Canada, there’s also a new American flag desk flag for $6.99.

It’s a baby flag — how cute!

As you can see, there is a LOT of new merch around EPCOT!

Our prize!

The best part? We got a Mickey sticker prize — SCORE!

Disney VISA Character Meet and Greet

Over by the Disney Pixar Short Film Festival, the Disney VISA Character Meet and Greet is a little different!

Best. Hug. Ever. at the Disney Visa Photo Spot in EPCOT

The characters are back in their regular outfits and are no longer dressed in their 50th Anniversary outfits.

Flower & Garden Festival

Finally, we’ll end our day with a new detail added to some Flower & Garden topiaries.

We want a pair, too!

The Flower & Garden Festival Mickey topiaries now have Orange Bird ears and a floral crown. How cute is that?!
