If you’ve never been on this ride during the holiday season, it’s one you won’t want to miss (particularly at night).
Over the past few days, we also noticed that the Food & Wine Festival Booths have disappeared, and Festival of the Holidays booths have popped up!
Shi Wasu Booth
The Festival will begin in just a few days — on November 26th!

EPCOT Character Meet & Greet Updates
If you’re looking to say “hello” to some characters in EPCOT, there are quite a few to find. For example, during a recent trip we got to say “hi” to Mulan over in the China pavilion. These character meet-and-greets are distanced, but still give you the chance to see some popular Disney friends.
Hey Mulan!
And at the Magic Eye Theater (where the Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival is typically shown), you can now find Mickey Mouse!
It’s Mickey!!
With Mickey’s modified character meet-and-greet, you can take pictures and talk to Mickey in this themed space, while keeping a certain amount of distance.
Click here to see what other character meet-and-greets are back in Disney World!
EPCOT General Updates
At the Art of Disney, we saw that Rob Kaz was out painting.

If you love Disney and art, this is a spot you’ll want to stop by as you never know who you might spot.
During one of our visits, it was also Dapper Day in EPCOT!

Canada Far & Wide (the show in the Canada pavilion) was closed during the Food & Wine Festival, as the space was being used for the Appleseed Orchard booth. During a recent visit, we saw that signage for the attraction is up, but no showtimes are available yet.
Are You a Fan of This Show?
We’ll look for more updates.
In EPCOT, we also saw that select Cast Members got some NEW, green shirts.
