Don’t you just love EPCOT? We know we sure do!

And we especially love to see all the NEW things at EPCOT since we last traveled around the world and into the future.

EPCOT Dining Updates

Taste of Epcot International Food and Wine Festival

Even though EPCOT has officially been reopened for three months now,  some Taste of Epcot International Food and Wine Festival booths opened later and some only seem to be operating on weekends and on busier days. Since we visited on a holiday, Columbus Day, we noticed that EVERY booth was open! You could grab bites at The Alps…

…and Islands of the Caribbean all serving up food!

Your mileage may vary, but if you want to try EVERY booth, it’s best to go on a weekend of holiday. Just beware of crowds!

Other Restaurant Openings and Closures

Other only-open-sometimes spots were also serving up food over the holiday! We strolled by an opened Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe…

…Could smell all the deliciousness from Yorkshire County Fish Shop…

…And even spotted the Outdoor Sake Bar at the Japan Pavilion open!

Garden House

However, the Pizza Window and Sommerfest were still closed.

La Hacienda de San Angel

With San Angel Inn closed for refurbishment, diners are being directed to Mexico Pavilion’s other table service restaurant, La Hacienda de San Angel.

Because of the closure, La Hacienda is now opening when EPCOT does instead of at 3PM for dinner service only.

Karamell Kuche

It may be spooky season, but Christmas is right around the corner — just look at Karamell Kuche, where we spotted a Gingerbread Salted Caramel Buttercream Cookie Sandwich!

Soft gingerbread cookies and tons of caramel? Uh, count us in any time of year!

Walt Disney Imagineering Presents: The EPCOT Experience

Brew lovers, rejoice! The EPCOT Experience snack stand has a NEW beer — Collective Arts Brewing’s Pina Colada Sour.

Taps at the EPCOT Experience

This beer is golden in color and may LOOK like your average beer, but it’s filled with refreshing coconut and vanilla flavors with a hint of tartness.

It’s the refreshing thing you need after walking around World Showcase!

EPCOT Merchandise Updates

Even at EPCOT, we can’t get away from Baby Yoda! While browsing Mouse Gear, we spotted a new-to-the-parks Baby Yoda spirit jersey!

Due to the bustling nature of the park this day, both the indoor and outdoor locations at House of Good Fortune in the China Pavilion were open!

We did what we do best and bought some snacks! We got white rabbit and Mexican chicken tomato flavored Lays potato chips!

This store was also selling hot tea drinks and this WAY too cute pumpkin pet costume!

We apologize to our cats and dogs in advance for making them wear this outfit for the rest of October!
