What’s New in EPCOT: Food & Wine Festival Merch, Construction Updates, and a Secret Menu Item!

We took a trip to EPCOT to see what’s happenin’ around the park!

EPCOT

We’re back to check out all the new additions since our last visit to the park! Here are all of the food, merchandise, and construction updates we spotted in EPCOT!

EPCOT Food Updates

La Cava del Tequila

Over in the Mexico Pavilion, we found a few exciting additions at La Cava del Tequila. First, in honor of the location’s 10th anniversary, they’re offering a special Mezcal made with 10 different agaves!

Each shot sells for $11 and comes with a side of grasshoppers and an orange slice!

But that’s not the only new discovery we made at La Cava del Tequila. They’re also offering “secret menu” guacamole to go! This guacamole contains chile and is served with tortilla chips

The guac isn’t listed on the menu, so you’ll need to ask a Cast Member if you’d like to order it!

2020 Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival Booths

While walking through the World Showcase, we noticed that both Spain and The Alps booths were closed.

Spain Closed

These locations were late additions to the festival, having just opened this past weekend.

The Alps Closed

We aren’t sure why these booths were closed, but it’s not the first time we’ve noticed something like this at the festival this year — the Islands of the Caribbean booth has also been closed on certain days.

EPCOT Construction Updates

Future World Construction

Construction is moving along on several projects in the Future World section of the park. We spotted work being done on the roof of the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind attraction building.

And we also noticed ongoing construction work continuing on the upcoming PLAY! Pavilion.

While flying above the France Pavilion on the Skyliner, we saw more progress in the new section of the France Pavilion surrounding the Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure attraction.

We caught a peek of a fountain at the end of the walkway below the Gusteau’s sign.

Multiple Locations

Now for the grand finale of our merchandise updates — EPCOT Food and Wine Festival merch is now available at several locations throughout the park! We saw Food and Wine merch at Mouse Gear, the World Showplace, and festival kiosks throughout the World Showcase.

2020 Food & Wine Festival Merchandise

While most locations had a variety of different merchandise available, the only place that had pins was Mouse Gear.

2020 Food & Wine Festival Merchandise

We saw a huge selection of items, including t-shirts, mugs, kitchenware, MagicBands, and more.

Trash Can Salt/Pepper Shaker

We did notice that some of the kiosks around the World Showcase still had EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival merchandise available as well.

Here’s ALL of the new EPCOT Food & Wine Festival merch we saw at the park!

So, between some exciting construction progress, an exclusive new Mezcal, and ALLLLL of the Food & Wine merch, it was an eventful day at EPCOT for sure! We’ll continue to swing by the park to see how things are movin’ and shakin’ so stay tuned for more updates!
