Planning to stop by EPCOT soon? Wondering what new things have popped up in the park since your last visit? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!

EPCOT

We made our way over to EPCOT recently to see what merchandise, food items, and more, we could spot. From an adorable photo that’s sure to make you smile to new merchandise items you might want to snatch up, we’ve got all the updates right here for you!

EPCOT Food Updates

We’ll start with some food updates!

Brew-Wing at the EPCOT Experience

As part of the 2021 International Food and Wine Festival, you can stop by the NEW Brew-Wing at the EPCOT Experience booth. This booth has a variety of wings, other snacks, and drinks available. During a recent trip, we noticed 3 new beers have made their way onto the menu — Neon Neon Rainbows New England Double IPA, Soft Parade Berry Ale, and Bomb Berry Blueberry IPA.

Brew-Wing Menu

Menus throughout the festival can change, so be sure to check and see what’s available during your visit.

Karamell-Küche in Germany

Over at the Germany pavilion, we stopped by Karamell-Küche (one of the best sweet spots in EPCOT). There, we saw that one of our FAVORITE treats of all time — the Salted Caramel Cupcake — has received a special 50th Anniversary makeover! Of course, we had to buy it and give it a try.

50th Celebration Cupcake with Werther’s Caramel

And yes, it was as delicious as ever with that chocolate cake, salted caramel buttercream, and caramel drizzle on top! If you haven’t tried this treat yet, what are you doing?!

EPCOT Merchandise Updates

The Creations Shop

Over at the Creations Shop, we spotted a new-to-us fluffy & fuzzy, tie-dye spirit jersey for kids. The spirit jersey is in a sort-of tie-dye/bleach design with hidden Mickeys scattered throughout!

So Fuzzy!

On the back, it has the Walt Disney World logo.

Cute!

The spirit jersey was priced at $54.99.

Italy Pavilion

Over in the Italy pavilion, we found a whole bunch of items that were new to us! First, there’s a new polo shirt with the word “Topolino” on it (the Italian name for Mickey!). It also features Mickey and Pluto speeding by in a very cute car!

Topolino and Pluto!

The polo is priced at $34.99.

We also spotted a shirt with Mickey on it that says “Tutto bene.”

Tutto Bene!

The shirt is priced at $29.99.

There was also another grey and white polo shirt available for $49.99.

New Polo

If button-down shirts are more your style, the Italy pavilion has you covered with this fun design!

New Button-Down Shirt

This shirt will set you back $59.99.

We also spotted a new purse featuring the one and only Minnie Mouse in a fashionable dress!

What a Fun Bag!

The bag says “Bellisima” and even features a fun black and white scarf-like cloth tied to it.

The Back of the Bag

The bag is priced at $44.99.

A Look at the Inside

Looking for a Topolino hat? They’ve got that too! This particular one is priced at $34.99.

Looks Snazzy!

If you want to snatch up one of these items, be sure to head over to the Italy pavilion!

EPCOT Miscellaneous Updates

In terms of other updates, over between the Morocco and France pavilions, we noticed that the construction walls have come down, revealing a nicely prepared spot with 2 booths — Brazil…

No more construction

… and Belgium!

Belgium Booth

We even spotted the Brazil booth open and operating in this new spot recently.

It’s open!

So, don’t panic if you’re looking for one of these booths the next time you’re in the park. They haven’t disappeared from their old spots, they may have just moved!

In terms of general updates and construction, we hopped on the monorail when we went to EPCOT and got a view of the park from above.

EPCOT From Above

Things seem to be moving along at the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind area.

Construction

We’ll be sure to keep an eye out for more changes.

Things Are Moving Along!

Finally, over at the Seas with Nemo and Friends, we checked in on our sea urchin friends and found something that’s bound to make you smile. Recently, 3-D printed Mickey ears were placed in the tank, and sea urchins naturally like to pick up things around them. We had seen them pick up a single hat, but during a recent visit one sea urchin had on 2 HATS!

Double the Hats!

We get it buddy, sometimes you just need double the dose of Disney!

And that’s all for us from EPCOT! Be sure to check back with us for more updates.
