It’s been more than three years since Disney World reopened from the pandemic, but some things still haven’t quite gotten back to normal.

EPCOT

The Voyage of the Little Mermaid show still hasn’t reopened in Hollywood Studios, and many people are hoping to once again dine at 1900 Park Fare sometime in the future. Several gift shops are still closed (including the Stage 1 Company Store in Muppets Courtyard), and the Tinker Bell meet and greet hasn’t returned to Magic Kingdom since March 2020. But while we wait on all those things to come back…you may be happy to know that a shopping spot has reopened in EPCOT!

In World Showcase Plaza, the main entry pathway to the World Showcase area of EPCOT, there are several kiosks that have been out of commission since the pandemic. The kiosks have been used for different things in the past, from merchandise to activities to Disney Vacation Club informational stands, but they’ve most recently been under construction.

Now, the kiosks are back open for merchandise during the Festival of the Holidays! This is a great way to use this space, and makes it easier for you to check out the merchandise available if you don’t want to head into a gift shop or walk all the way back into World Showcase.

You can grab festival merchandise here!

Having these shopping options open in the middle of the park reminds us that the rest of the EPCOT transformation is set to be completed very soon! In December, Disney plans to reopen the middle of the park — the area that has been blocked by construction walls for several years.

Inside the kiosks

We’re excited to see progress in this park that has been under construction for several years now, and we can’t wait to see what comes next! Happy Festival of the Holidays, everyone!
