What's New in EPCOT: Nine Dragons Reopens and a Food and Wine Passholder Exclusive Arrives

We’re back with another look at what’s new in EPCOT!

We’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day!

As the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival continues, construction slowly drags on. Recently, DVC members received some exciting information about Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, too! But what else is new in EPCOT? Come with us and take a look at the newest updates we found this week!

EPCOT Food Updates

Nine Dragons

There was a surprise reopening at Nine Dragons over in the China Pavilion this week! This table-service restaurant features Chinese dishes such as Honey Sesame Chicken, Kowloon Spare Ribs, Salt and Pepper Shrimp, and more! The food was pretty spicy here.

The Happy Family

The Green Tea Ice Cream was $4.25.

While the food here isn’t our favorite in EPCOT, it’s a great place to try some Chinese food, and it’s less expensive than other table-service restaurants around the Disney Parks.

EPCOT Merchandise Update

Mouse Gear

While we wait for the new Creations shop, we can still browse around Mouse Gear in EPCOT. We spotted a new Food and Wine Festival Annual Passholder hoodie for $54.99!

The hoodie has some nice purple embroidery that reads “Passholder.”

The back of this lightweight hoodie features pops of color both inside the hood and on the sides!

We’ll keep an eye out for more new merchandise, so stick around for updates!

Crowd Update

The wait times were pretty much on par with what we’ve been seeing lately, and you can get an idea of the crowd level here!

Spaceship Earth

Living with the Land was pretty much a walk-on; the sign read 5 minutes for the standby wait time.

Keep in mind that masks are once again required on attractions in Disney World, so make sure you bring some extra masks if you’re traveling to Walt Disney World soon!
