food IS a theme park
Oh EPCOT, we just love ya.
EPCOT
Between your retro-futuristic vibes and multicultural representation, delicious eats, and stellar shopping — we can’t seem to get enough. Even though we’re in Disney World every single day, we’re still learning new things. And, there’s plenty to learn at one pavilion in particular!
If you’ve ever taken the time to REALLY explore the Mitsukoshi Department Store in EPCOT’s Japan pavilion, you’ve probably noticed some very unique souvenirs.
The Japan pavilion in EPCOT
The HUGE store has pretty much everything you could possibly imagine, and it’s the place to go for interesting finds like video game-themed merchandise, animal face masks, and even an inflatable vase. It also has a wide assortment of Japanese candy, including Pocky and unique Kit Kat flavors. If you’ve ever sampled some of the outside-the-box Kit Kats there, you’re going to LOVE the newest Kit Kat on the market!
We LOVE checking out all of the Kit Kats available in EPCOT’s Japan Pavilion! Sometimes we come across some super unique flavors!
Mitsukoshi has walls and walls of snacks!
Mitsukoshi is the place to find all kinds of Japanese snacks and candy right in the World Showcase. In fact, it can be a little overwhelming to take in everything at once. One thing’s for sure: the store has a history of featuring Kit Kat flavors that we haven’t seen before! We tried out a new one, and we’re here to let you know if it was hit or miss!
Since we call ourselves a food blog, we have to try all kinds of snacks: the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Pumpkin Spice Pretzel
We remember those that were rather disappointing to the eye, like the Pumpkin Spice Pretzel and the Poor Unfortunate Souls Float (the original with black raspberry soft serve). There are even a few “gross” Disney snacks that we actually recommend trying, like blue milk and Beverly, but there are always those that we don’t really understand. No matter how we feel about the snack, we usually do our best to muster up the courage to try the unique ones, and that’s exactly what we did today with a new flavor of Kit Kat!
Hey there, DFB friends! We’re back at EPCOT to see what’s new since our last visit!
Spaceship Earth
And spoiler alert…we spotted a TON of new merch! So, without further ado, here are all the latest food, merchandise, and construction updates from EPCOT!
EPCOT has been full of fun surprises recently with so many goodies for the Food and Wine Festival!
Japan Pavilion
While we’ve been back in the Japan Pavilion to have Frothy Ramen and pick up some fabulous silk face masks (and even a few very strange skincare masks), you might be subbing out your regular ole’ Halloween candy for these new goodies in EPCOT!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
