What's New at EPCOT: Holiday Decorations, Reopened World Showcase Shops, and More!

Who’s ready for a festive trip to EPCOT??

Christmas Tree in EPCOT

Hey there, DFB friends! We recently visited EPCOT to see what’s new since our last trip to the park, and we were greeted with a ton of new additions. So, without further ado, let’s dive into all of the latest food, merchandise, and construction updates in EPCOT!

EPCOT Food Updates

Joffrey’s Coffee and Tea Monorail Station Kiosk

As we neared the entrance to the park, we noticed that the Joffrey’s Coffee and Tea Kiosk by the Monorail station was open.

Joffrey’s

So, guests who needed a little pick-me-up before entering the park had an option to swing by!

Review! Sip on holiday cheer with NEW Joffrey’s holiday drinks in Disney World!

EPCOT Construction Updates

Space 220

While strolling near the upcoming Space 220 restaurant, we noticed that the sign was covered. At the moment, there’s not much more going on over here!

This is also a great attraction to try to find hidden Mickeys.
