We’ve been reporting from EPCOT to share the ever-changing details regarding food, merchandise, and construction with you guys. 

Spaceship Earth

And we’re back today to do just that. Fair warning: we spotted lots of new changes and additions, so get ready!!

EPCOT Food Update

If you ask us, this is one of the tastiest places in the world. Here’s what’s NEW…

Mexico Pavilion

Looks like there’s been a bit of Churro change! Now at La Cantina de San Angel, instead of caramel sauce, you’ll be given a chocolate hazelnut spread. Wait! That sounds a lot like…

…Nutella!!

While we love some caramel sauce, we’re welcoming this new addition with open arms.

While we were here, we also heard a little tidbit about La Hacienda.

They’ll be doing indoor seating for cantina guests from 11:00AM to 2:15PM!

Germany Pavilion

Watch out, bier lovers! When we strolled through the Germany Pavilion, the bier stand was closed.

But never fear! The pretzel cart remained open. And they just so happen to boast the same menu! According to a Cast Member, they like the have the pretzel cart open when the weather is nice and they open the stand when it’s raining out.

We love a happy ending!

Italy Pavilion

Is it getting warm in here? The super delicious Italian Margarita has returned to the Italy Food & Wine Booth

We’re sooo looking forward to all of the wonderful things coming to EPCOT. Here’s a look at how things are progressing! We’ve noticed some more work being done on the Play! Pavilion. Looks like there was a construction crew up working on a roof.
