We popped into EPCOT for a quick stroll yesterday!
EPCOT
EPCOT International Festival of the Arts kicks off this FRIDAY and we are SO looking forward to eating our way around a new year of the fest. For now, we’re taking a look at some of the preparations and more food, construction, and merchandise updates!
EPCOT Food Updates
The first VERY exciting thing we spotted in this EPCOT was the Yellow Mickey Popcorn Bucket we found at the Popcorn Cart near the Imagination Pavilion!
Yellow Popcorn Bucket
This bucket was in Disneyland a few years back but now we’re seeing it in Disney World. We haven’t spotted this bucket available anywhere else yet but we’ll be sure to keep you updated if we do see it somewhere!

EPCOT Construction Updates
It’s ALMOST time for the EPCOT Festival of the Arts! It kicks off on Friday, so you know some set-up is happening over in the ‘COT. We spotted Fest of the Arts signage on a lot of booths, festival theming elements, AND festival photo ops!
Deconstructed Dish
And yep, we took pictures of ALLLL of ’em! Check out the photo ops here and the booths here!

We also noticed that the Purple Martin nests that typically sit in Future World had been taken down. The poles are still there, so it’s possible these birdy homes are just gone temporarily.

Mouse Gear
Mouse Gear had the new Peach MagicBand and the Navy MagicBand for $14.99 each.

We spotted two $14.99 2021 Magnets we haven’t seen before! One features Minnie, Mickey, Donald, and Daisy…

We’re loving so many options still available at such low prices! Guess we’d better stock up for NEXT Christmas!
