food IS a theme park
Greetings from EPCOT!
EPCOT
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is open and we’re giving you a first look at all the merchandise available in the Treasures of Xandar Gift Shop and Creations Shop in EPCOT!
There’s a LOT happening in EPCOT these days.
EPCOT
We’ve got massive construction projects in the middle of the park, a brand-new restaurant, and the grand opening of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind scheduled for later this month. There’s so much happening, and if you’re not visiting the park daily, it’s easy to miss some news. But thankfully, we’re in EPCOT almost every day…and today we’re catching you up on what’s new in the park!
It’s a good day when we find a new pair of ears in Disney World.
Main Street Electrical Parade Ears
Your Minnie ear collection might already include Orchid Ears, Orange Bird Ears, Pretzel Ears, designer ears…should we keep going? Well, we found another pair of ears you may (or may not) want to add to your collection! And y’all…these new ears are a CHOICE, and one that has us considering revisiting our Barbie butterfly fairy princess phase. 🦋
In 2021, Disney made a commitment to inclusivity with their Reimagine Tomorrow program.

As part of this program, Disney added advisories on Disney+ to warn about culturally insensitive material, and projects such as an alliance between ESPN and My Brother’s Keeper and the Disney Dreamer’s Academy have been established to help African-American youths. Disney was also recently recognized for disability representation in two Marvel projects, and in Disney Parks, you can not only find inclusive merchandise, but other forms of representation too!
Hello again from EPCOT!
Connections Eatery
There are some seriously exciting updates to share, including the official opening date for Connections Cafe and Eatery — April 27th! After a surprise soft opening, we wondered what other news awaited us in the park. It’s time for another look at what’s new in EPCOT!
Disney has faced some CONTROVERSIAL moments in its past (some of which have included the Resort’s main icon — Cinderella Castle).
Cinderella Castle’s 50th anniversary makeover is so pretty
You probably remember the Stitch toilet paper-covered castle — a…unique moment in Disney history. But, perhaps no controversial Castle moment is more infamous than…the Birthday Cake Castle! And now you can bring this controversial piece of Disney history home!
A lot of exciting things are happening at EPCOT.

The EPCOT transformation is STILL happening, but we’ll soon see the grand opening of a brand new ride AND new restaurant! But there are a lot of other things going on, too, like the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival, so let’s see what’s new!
EPCOT tends to have tons of new things to see, eat, and do! So, we’re constantly in the park to make sure we’re bringing you the latest news and information.

So without further ado, let’s get into what’s new at EPCOT!
It’s a BIG day for Disney World — character meet and greets are returning to normal!
We finally got to hug Mickey!
That’s right, at many locations around the theme parks, you can now hug your favorite Disney pals again! This also means that it’s time to whip out those autograph books and pens once again. And in honor of the special occasion, we spotted some new (and returning) merchandise!
EPCOT is undergoing a HUGE transformation, and that means new experiences, attractions, and even merchandise is popping up all the time!

We’re getting even closer to the opening of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Connections Cafe, and we recently rediscovered a favorite EPCOT snack of ours, too. With so much going on, it’s important to stay updated ahead of your next visit. So, let’s check out what’s new at EPCOT!
