This simple closure at EPCOT might be causing a bigger issue than you might think.
The Refreshment Port in EPCOT is a quick spot to grab poutine and fountain drinks, but now it’s going under refurbishment that might mess up the festivals.
The refurbishment starts January 12th and currently doesn’t have a listed end date. With the EPCOT Festival of the Arts starting January 16th and running through February 23rd, it doesn’t look like the Refreshment Port will be part of this year’s lineup.
The menus have not been released yet, but for 2025, you could grab:
- Caprese Poutine
- Traditional Poutine
- Artist Palette Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookie
- 81 Bay Brewing Co. Italian Pilsner
- Boyd & Blair Blood Orange Cosmo
While it’s possible these items might move somewhere else, it’s also likely that they will not bring any of these items back for 2026. Since there is no reopening date, it might be closed for the Flower & Garden Festival, which runs from March 4th to June 1st.
There’s not another spot to grab poutine, but there are tons of other food options in EPCOT for quick snacks, including the Canada booth, which is close by, and the Swirled Showcase, which usually has sweet treats like soft serve and floats to enjoy.
