Hey there, DFB friends! It’s time for another update about what’s new in EPCOT.

There’s a delicious reason you should visit the Germany pavilion in EPCOT this holiday season, and we also noticed runDisney setting up for the upcoming half marathon! Check out all of the latest updates here.

EPCOT Food Updates

In the Germany pavilion, we discovered the return of a DFB favorite — the Werther’s Original Gingerbread Caramel Cookie Sandwich at Karamell-Kuche for $5.99! This cookie is made with two soft gingerbread cookies held together with buttercream icing and Werther’s caramel inside.

This cookie is absolutely delicious. We’re so glad to see it’s back this year!

Check out more photos and our FULL REVIEW of the Gingerbread Caramel Sandwich here!

While you’re at Karamell-Kuche, don’t forget that there are lots of other unique treats to grab, like the Werther’s Liqueur Caramel Flight, a.k.a. boozy caramel squares. You had us at boozy caramel, EPCOT.

For $6.49, you get four mini caramel squares with flavors inspired by Pear Liquor, Bourbon, Amaretto, and Irish Cream.

EPCOT Merchandise Updates

Pin Traders

In Pin Traders, we spotted a new Mickey Phone Ring for $14.99. You can stick this to the back of your phone and ya know, hopefully not drop your phone as much as you walk around World Showcase as you take pictures of everything.

In fact, you could (if you really wanted) stick it to the back of this retro EPCOT phone case that’s made a return!

There were also LOTS of new pins in EPCOT, like this sparkly castle pin for $17.99.

There was also a new pin based on fan-favorite Disney cartoon, Recess, for $9.99.

There’s an adorably spooky new Frankenweenie pin for $9.99…

…and Chicken Little is still screaming that the sky is falling in this new pin that’s priced at $9.99.

You can get not one but TWO avocado-related pins for $17.99, with a hidden Mickey as an avocado pit.

This retro Disney pin assortment of an old TV, a VHS tape, a Mickey hat, and Disney > Everything is priced at $17.99.

There’s also a new The Amazing Spider-Man comic-style pin for $9.99.

You can find these new pins at Pin Traders in EPCOT!

Creations Shop

Over at Creations Shop, there’s a new 2021 limited edition Gingerbread Collection Pin for $19.99. The front of it looks like a gingerbread letter, with EPCOT on the front…

…and it lifts up to reveal Figment with a big gingerbread house!

Disney Dog and Cat lovers will need the new Christmas Disney Dogs and Cats Fleece Pants, which are $49.99 each.

The Disney Dog Pants are red with all our favorite Disney dogs dressed in their holiday best.

And the Disney Cat Pants feature holiday lights surrounding all the kitties.

There was also a Disney Dogs and Cats Sweatshirt for $49.99. It says “Santa Paws” and features both cat AND dog characters!

These were all found at Creations Shop in EPCOT.

Port of Entry

In Port of Entry we noticed this new-to-us Black Corckcicle Tumbler for $39.99. The front of the tumbler features the 2021 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival artwork.

The matte black is a nice look!

Disney Traders

Disney Traders had some new princesses dresses with unique interpretations of Disney Princesses.

This dress features a Cinderella print…

…while this dress has a more subtle nod to Rapunzel with a lantern…

…and this dress is reminiscent of Tiana’s dress!

We also found new-to-us Princess Bath Toys for $24.99.

The princesses include Cinderella, Tiana, Belle, Rapunzel, and Jasmine.
