It’s another beautiful day at EPCOT, ladies and gentlemen!
There’s been a lot to see in this park recently, with the Food & Wine festival wrapping up, holiday decorations arriving, several restaurants getting extended hours, and so much more! Let’s check out the main things we noticed here on our latest visit!
EPCOT Food Updates
Joffrey’s
When walking into the park, we stopped by the Joffrey’s stand to see if we spotted anything different. Looking at the bakery case, the Birthday Muffins are back! They haven’t had these in a while, so we were glad to see them here again!
They’re made with birthday cake, and they basically taste like a cupcake.

Kringla Bakeri og Kafe
At Kringla in the Norway pavilion, several old menu items have returned, including the classic Troll Horn! We have a full review of a few of the menu items that you can check out here!
It’s always nice to see Disney restaurants getting their full menus back!

Karamell-Küche
In Germany, we noticed these delicious looking Cappuccino Caramels that we hadn’t noticed before in the caramel shop. You can buy them by the bag!
They’re $4.29 for the bag, and would make a great snack to take home with you.
Japan Food & Wine Booth
Over at the Food & Wine booth in Japan, we noticed that they had updated their menu. The beer option here is now a Nomi Yasui Draft Lager.
If you’d like to try this option, you only have a few days before the festival ends!

Appleseed Orchard
Unfortunately, this Food & Wine booth has run out of the souvenir popcorn containers, so they’re no longer selling the Caramel Apple Popcorn.
So long old friend, maybe we’ll see you return for next year’s festival!

Hawai’i Food & Wine Booth
At the Hawai’i Food & Wine Booth, they had run out of the souvenir cups that the Aulani Sunrise is sold in. You can still get the cocktail for the same price.
It seems that several locations are running out of the souvenir containers ahead of the end of the festival!

EPCOT Construction Updates
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
After all the updates from Josh D’Amaro earlier this week on Disney’s many projects, we just HAD to stop by and check out the construction on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.
Things seem to be moving along nicely here, although it’s difficult to tell from the outside of the building. We’ll keep checking back for more updates over here — we’re super pumped about this attraction!
Check Out Pics from INSIDE the Attraction Here!
Christmas and Holiday Decorations
We finally got to see the holiday decor arrive in EPCOT yesterday! We put together a whole post with photos from around the park here.
Seeing all this decor means that we’re one step closer to experience EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays! We also noticed that the Mill Stage in the Canada pavilion had received a holiday makeover for the festival.
During the festival, The Jammitors will be performing here, and we noticed their equipment getting set up. Stay tuned to DFB, because you know we’ll be at the first day of the Festival of the Holidays to try all the food and check out the entertainment!

EPCOT Merchandise Updates
Mouse Gear
We spotted a couple things over in EPCOT’s main gift shop, Mouse Gear. First, we noticed the new Toy Story MagicBand! It’s here to celebrate the movie’s 25th Anniversary, and it’s super cute.
We wrote a more detailed post on this MagicBand here, but it’s a limited series of 2000 and it’ll cost you $34.99!
We also noticed these Nope Pins. They feature some of Disney’s grumpiest faces!
Grab the set of 4 for $24.99. We’ll be on the lookout for them to pop up elsewhere!
Check Out the New Ornament Pins!
Well, that’s all we have for EPCOT! Make sure to keep following along with DFB as we tackle all the Disney holiday news, including the Festival of the Holidays!
