Which Disney World park can you find a spaceship, a troll, and an aquarium all in? EPCOT, of course!
It’s an exciting time in EPCOT right now with Festival of the Arts, new restaurants, upcoming rides, and the super gorgeous Spaceship Earth lighting up at night. We’re in the park regularly to keep up with what’s going on, so let’s take a look at what’s new in EPCOT!
EPCOT Construction Updates
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
Construction continues on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in World Discovery! We recently saw the Nova Corps space ship be put up in front of the ride building, and when we went by the other day there was a ladder coming out of the ship.
There was also work being done on the side of the ride building!
It looked like they were doing some painting.

EPCOT Merchandise Updates
Creations
We spotted a new Boba Fett magnet in Creations! This guy is $14.99.
We also found this fun pin set of Tweedledee and Tweedledum from Alice in Wonderland.
You can get these pins for $17.99.
Disney Traders
Disney Traders has the new letter character keychains that we saw recently in Magic Kingdom! Each letter is themed to a different Disney character.
For example, A is for Ariel!
These are $9.99 each.
EPCOT Additional Updates
Festival of the Arts
New chalk art is being worked on for Festival of the Arts in EPCOT, like this portrait of Rapunzel, who doesn’t have her long golden locks quite yet.
We can’t wait to see the finished artwork!

France
Over in the France pavilion, the fountain was turned off.
We’re not sure why, but hopefully it gets turned back on soon!
Japan
Inside Mitsukoshi in the Japan pavilion, Setsubun was being celebrated! This is the Japanese Bean Throwing-festival. It’s the day before the beginning of spring in the old Japanese calendar and it’s for getting rid of evil spirits that bring sickness and prevent good fortune.
To celebrate, Cast Members were teaching origami! We got to pick out our own paper from a variety of fun options…
…and we made a swan!
This activity was only being held on the holiday — February 3rd.
Germany
And finally, in the Germany pavilion, we saw a poor train that had been derailed. Not a real train, though, just a model one!
We hope it got back on the right track quickly.
That’s everything new from EPCOT recently! Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news and updates.
