What’s New at EPCOT: TONS of Gelato Mickey Merch, New Menu Items at Katsura Grill, and a 2021 Calendar!

We seriously just cannot get enough of EPCOT these days!

Spaceship Earth

We’re just happy to be riding around on Spaceship Earth, eating our way around the world, oh, and seeing all the great NEW things at this park.

From new desserts to new merch, here’s what we saw at EPCOT yesterday!

Epcot Food Update

Epcot is ALL about the eats, so here’s what we’ve spotted that’s NEW!

Tangerine Cafe

Earlier this week, we saw a new cheesecake at Tangerine Cafe in the Morocco Pavilion, and this quick service spot is really upping its dessert game, because today we saw they’ve added cake slices to their pastry cart.

Tangerine Cafe pastries

And an Apple Tart!

Apple Tart at Tangerine Cafe

It may be summer, but we can just feel the fall vibes radiating off this treat.

Katsura Grill

The outdoor sake cart and sake bar inside the Japan Pavilion may be closed for now, but if you’re looking for some great cocktails, there’s a spot for you!

Katsura Grill is selling the Tokyo Sunset and Violet Sake drinks!

Katsura Grill has also added three new items to their menu! We just HAD to try the Yuzu Miso Wings

Okonomiyaki Fries, which come with a Tonkatsu Sauce, Mayonnaise, Bonito Flakes, and Aonori

These items cost $8.50, $5.50, and $9.50, respectively.

Epcot Merchandise Update

Phew! Now that we’re done dining on Japanese food, let’s take a look at the OTHER best part of going to Disney World: MERCH!

Mouse Gear

We previously reported that the Toy Story Mania! Wishables had arrived at EPCOT, and then VERY quickly DISAPPEARED from store shelves.

No More Toy Story Wishables 🙁

Well, today, the Woody Wishable was BACK IN STOCK!

Woody is back in stock!

No sign of the blind bags, but we’ve spotted them online, so keep your eyes on the prize!

Mitsukoshi

OK, and we’re not sure if these items are new, but they sure did bring us a lot of joy when we stopped by Mitsukoshi in the Japan Pavilion. Take a peek at these Pure Smile face masks!! Moisturize and be a cat, a dog, or a spotted dog!

Will you be a cat? Will you be a dog?

Don’t want to be an animal? That’s OK, this Babyish mask can make your skin as smooth as a baby’s (or so, we think)!
