Greetings from Disney World’s work-in-progress park!
EPCOT
We visited EPCOT yesterday to check out all of the latest changes and updates after the end of the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. So, without further ado, here’s all the latest news in food, construction, and merchandise!
EPCOT Food Updates
House of Good Fortune
First up on the snack front, we spotted some new-to-us Tomato…
Tomato Chips
…and Wasabi Chips at House of Good Fortune in the China Pavilion. If you’re looking for fun flavors, these could be worth a try! These are $4.50 each.
Wasabi Chips
Nine Dragons
After our stop at the House of Good Fortune, we noticed something sort of interesting on our receipt. There’s a discount being offered at Nine Dragons. Well, that seems pretty normal — except Nine Dragons is closed right now!
Check out that deal!
We spoke to a Cast Member who told us that the discount has been listed on receipts for a while and she thinks that it will be offered when the spot reopens. Well, when it does, you might be able to snag a 20% discount on lunch.

Refreshment Outpost
Refreshment Outpost was offering an exciting new soft-serve option! Are you ready? It’s Strawberry and Banana SWIRL Soft-Serve.
Strawberry and Banana Soft-serve in a Waffle Cone
We won’t lie, we were pretty wowed by this combo and the waffle cone it comes in made it even better. Try it yourself for $5.25.

Japan Pavilion
Garden House was open while we were there and we spotted that QR Code Menus were posted in the queue.

Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie
Good news, cheese lovers! The Brie Bowl has returned to Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie in the France Pavilion!

EPCOT Construction Updates
Entrance Area
On to the construction updates! Finally! The last wall in front of Spaceship Earth has come down. Yup, all of the walls are BEHIND Spaceship Earth now.
Spaceship Earth (without walls!)
This change has the entrance area looking quite spiffy and we can’t wait to see the rest of World Celebration when more walls come down.

2021 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival
We also saw a few updates that show that EPCOT is getting ready for the 2021 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival on March 3rd! Take this new map, for one!

It fittingly shows some masked guests getting ready to enjoy a fun fest!

Northern Bloom
…and signage around! Eek! We can’t wait to explore a new fest!

Test Track
Test Track had a development too. Since the parks reopened, this attraction has been loading one party per car, but we noticed a shift today.
Test Track is now loading every row
Now, Cast Members are loading every row on Test Track.

EPCOT Merchandise Updates
Mouse Gear
At Mouse Gear, we spotted two new-to-us t-shirts for $24.99 each. There’s this Mickey and Friends Shirt…
Disney Tee
…and the Cinderella Castle Shirt.
