Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at EPCOT!

And, we’ve got plenty of updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!

EPCOT Merchandise Update

Mouse Gear

The PeopleMover has a special place in our hearts. And, if you’re a big PeopleMover fan, then you’re going to want to pick up the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover Water Bottle at Mouse Gear. While the front features the classic Magic Kingdom attraction’s ride vehicle…

…the back has the famous tagline “Paging Mr. Morrow, Mr. Tom Morrow,” along with the PeopleMover logo!

The screw-top lid features a handle for easy carrying or the ability to hook to your bags. Since that Florida heat is already picking up for the summer, you’ll definitely want to make sure you stay hydrated!

Even though the PeopleMover is a Magic Kingdom ride, you can find it at EPCOT’s Mouse Gear for $27.99.

Take a look at all the details on the newest PeopleMover Tumbler

We’re just a few days away from the Fourth of July. And, we can’t WAIT to celebrate in Disney World with themed festivities and the return of fireworks! So, it’s no surprise that Disney is giving everyone the perfect accessories to don with their red, white, and blue outfits now that the Americana Ears are back on the shelves!

You might recognize these patriotic cuties from last year, as we saw them make their way into stores and online for the holiday. Prior to your Fourth of July celebrations, you can pick up the returning ears for $29.99 in Mouse Gear too!

Check out all the details on the Fourth of July Ears here!

EPCOT Entertainment Update

Mission Space

Whether you choose the Green Team or Orange Team, all your crew members can recap their space encounters after Mission Space now that the SPACE BASE has reopened!

Your smallest teammates can put their skills to the test in the obstacle course…

…before they try their hand at the other positions available on the spaceships!

Right next door, the interactive Expedition Mars video game and Postcards from Space spots have also reopened for guests of all ages.

Send us a postcard from your expeditions, friends!

Future World

While we were hanging around EPCOT, we spotted our pals Goofy and Pluto waving to guests near Spaceship Earth in Future World. And, they definitely were playing to the cameras with cheeky poses! They rotate with friends like Mickey and Minnie as well! This has been happening for a while, but it just makes us so happy. We had to share!

(How can you NOT love them?!)

EPCOT Construction Update

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind

As we wait for all the other festivities to kick off during Disney World’s 50th anniversary, it looks like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind may not be one of the attractions opening in 2021. Construction has still continued on the ride, as we have seen blue paneling added to the top of the roof.

There are a few gray panels that stand out against the blue currently, which is where a spaceship will be resting on top of the show building prior to the entrance to the ride!

Well, that’s all for this What’s New at EPCOT! We’ll catch you next time for more updates. And, if you have any questions about your upcoming Disney vacation, let us know so we can help you find the answers!

Disney World is gearing up for the Fourth of July weekend coming in just a few days! We’ve seen some Fourth of July Minnie Ears, some patriotic gear in the Emporium, and even an America-themed MagicBand!

Can we count the new Captain America Ears we found as Fourth of July gear? We think so! And today we found a new way to celebrate with a delicious Fourth of July treat in Disney World!

We’ve seen plenty of treats themed for the Fourth of July in Disney World, from cupcakes to margaritas! The one we found in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, though, was new to us, and it has to be one of our favorites! It’s the Star-Spangled Sundae, and you can find it at the Anandapur Ice Cream Truck located in the Asia section of Animal Kingdom!

The sundae is blueberry and vanilla soft-serve ice cream with a strawberry compote, served in a waffle-cone bowl!

We thought the blueberry flavor was light but definitely present in the ice cream. And it added just a bit of tartness that we think complemented the vanilla perfectly. The strawberry compote was also delicious, and there was plenty of it. We LOVED finding pieces of strawberry at the bottom!

The sundae is served in a waffle bowl, which adds a great crunch to the treat! And as big cone fans, we appreciated that there was so much of it! We are suckers for a cone bowl.

Overall, we really enjoyed this treat and we’d highly recommend trying it! It’s $6.49 at the Anandapur Ice Cream Truck!
