Eating in EPCOT’s Japan Pavilion May Cost You MORE on Your Next Trip

Things are constantly changing in Disney World — new mask rules, distancing changes, menu updates, and more.

Things Are Changing!

One thing we’ve seen quite a bit of lately are price increases. We’ve seen price increases impact everything from Wishables plushes to some fan-favorite snacks. Recently, we noticed some price increases and menu changes have been made at 2 EPCOT restaurants (one of which is still temporarily closed)!

Love eating in the Japan pavilion in EPCOT? Maybe Teppan Edo is your favorite spot or you just can’t get enough of Tokyo Dining (and are hoping it reopens very soon). Well, if these are some of your favorite spots to eat at, you’ll want to be aware that dining at these places might cost you a little MORE during your next trip!

That’s right, price increases have made their way over to Teppan Edo and Tokyo Dining recently (as well as a few menu changes) and we’re breaking it all down for you here.
