What’s New in EPCOT: New Art, a FAMOUS Saxophone, and MORE!

It’s a beautiful day to visit Disney World, don’t you think?

EPCOT

We stopped into EPCOT yesterday to take a look at the alllll the latest news from this park! Here are all the latest updates in food, construction, and merchandise!

EPCOT Food Updates

Cool Wash

We were strolling through Future World when we spotted that Cool Wash is open!

Club Cool

This is a great spot to cool off and grab a nice Coke slush, so we’re happy that it was an option!

Weinkeller

Over at Weinkeller in Germany, we checked in on the Wine of the Week! It’s a 2016 Riesling Kabinett that you can snag for $8 for a 3oz pour or $28 for the bottle.

Remember, you can’t open the bottle in EPCOT, but you can enjoy it when you leave the park!

Mitsukoshi Department Store

In Japan’s Pavilion Mitsukoshi Department Store, we spotted some new-to-us candy with these Meltyblends!

We love being able to try international sweets around World Showcase.

We tried WHAT flavor of chips in Disney World?!?

You may have heard the news that The Soul of Jazz Exhibit has opened in the American Adventure Pavilion. This collection takes guests through the history of jazz music!

La Signature

Over at La Signature in the France Pavilion, we saw that Guerlain was offering free personalization on your perfume bottles.

Keep in mind it has to be a flat bottle, not a rounded one.
