Disney World has new things popping up and changing nearly every single day, and while we’re in the parks each day to hopefully catch them all, sometimes Disney does stuff so sneakily that even we don’t catch it right away!
El Ranchito del Norte
While Disney often will announce changes, like closures, reopenings, and changes in hours, that’s not ALWAYS the case. Sometimes, they just make the change on their website and app, and you’ll walk by one day and go “…when did those doors reopen?” That’s exactly what happened over in EPCOT‘s Mexico Pavilion — this store is BACK OPEN after nearly five years!
El Ranchito del Norte is a small kiosk tucked away beside La Cantina de San Angel, and is home to lots of souvenirs you can bring home to represent your love of Mexico and this gorgeous pavilion. You’ll find flags, apparel, maracas, and more, including some truly adorable axolotl plushes!

This spot quietly reopened its doors, and since it’s tucked away, it’s hard for many people to see it, especially depending on where the sun is in the sky. However, if you hear the Music of Mexico mariachi group performing, you’ll find the shop immediately behind them.

As hard as it is to believe, yes, there are still spots that haven’t reopened following the COVID-19 closures six years ago. While the Tea Experience at the Garden View Lounge will finally be opening on March 19th, we’re still waiting to hear about the fate of the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique locations in Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and Disney Springs.
