We’re constantly checking around the Disney World parks for new food, new merchandise, and refurbishment updates.

It wasn’t difficult to find new things in EPCOT this week since so many BIG things have been happening there lately! Here are all the new things that happened in EPCOT recently.

We’ll first look at all the food news we could find in EPCOT in the last couple of days.

EPCOT Food Updates

Space 220

The biggest EPCOT food news is that Space 220 is opening up soon! The restaurant opens for walk-ins on September 20th. Only walk-ins will be taken on September 20th through the 26th, but you can start making reservations on September 20th for dates starting September 27th or later.

We’ve seen quite a bit of Space 220 news recently, like reveal of this spot’s FULL menus, new concept art, and even a look inside the restaurant itself. Earlier this week, we spotted a big new sign in EPCOT that proves Space 220 is closer than ever to opening!

There was also a smaller sign near another part of Mission: SPACE.

We’ll be covering all of Space 220’s opening next week, so stay tuned with DFB!

Club Cool

In other EPCOT food news — or rather, drink news — Club Cool has officially reopened in EPCOT! 

This was a popular spot before it closed in 2019, and now it’s back in a new location and looking better than ever. At Club Cool, you can take a look at Coca-Cola merchandise and buy specialty sodas, but the real attraction is the samples you can get of sodas from around the world.

You can sample these sodas for free using the little cups next to the machines!

The Club was very in-demand when we went, with a fairly long line outside, but there’s limited capacity inside as only one party was allowed at each soda machine at a time.

If you’re looking for a family-friendly way of drinking around the world (for FREE), this is a really fun stop!

Popcorn Kiosk

Near the new Creations Shop in EPCOT, there’s also a new popcorn stand! It’s designed to fit EPCOT’s new sleek theme.

The new stand brought Halloween popcorn buckets with it. These Halloween designs are the same as ones we’ve seen in the past.

Along with popcorn, you’ll find other classic treats at this stand like Nestle Mickey’s Premium Ice Cream Bars, Nestle Mickey’s Premium Ice Cream Sandwiches, and Outshine Strawberry Fruit Bars.

Karamell-Küche

Last in food news is a happy update for fans of Karamell-Küche in the Germany Pavilion at World Showcase — mobile order is now available here!

You can now place a Mobile Order at this caramel kitchen for your favorite treats, so get ready to grab caramel popcorn, caramel squares, and caramel apples galore without waiting in the regular line.
