Hello from the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, also known as EPCOT! It’s time to take another swing around the park to see what all is new. Come along with us!
The first thing that greeted us when we walked in was the Jammitors out and about playing some funky beats.
Then we popped into MouseGear and found this cute Donald “Lost Temper” t-shirt. It is $24.99.
We turned around and saw the Disney Dream Friends sleepy Figment plush was back in stock. By the end of the day, all these Figments in MouseGear sold out!
At The Seas, we stopped by and said “hi” to the sting rays.
And we didn’t forget everyone else!
Over at The Land, we noticed that directional signs have graphics up for Awesome Planet.
Today was the day of the Walt Disney World Marathon. We paused to cheer on some hard-working runners!
The Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie restaurant in the France pavilion saw some price changes today.
In the Norway pavilion, we found this horrifyingly creepy Olaf ornament.
His lazy eyes seem to follow you everywhere… and yet nowhere.
Also, he will get glitter on everything you know and love. He is $29.99.
My smug face as I eat french fries and watch marathon runners panting in the heat.
We also noticed this cut-through pathway leading from Guest Relations to the future Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind coaster looks to be nearing completion!
That’s all for our trip to EPCOT today! Be sure to check back with WDW News Today for more updates on EPCOT and all the other Walt Disney World parks.
What was your favorite thing we found? Are you taking a trip to EPCOT soon?
Olaf’s expression looks like he didn’t MEAN to do a total split, he just slipped on the ice and… OOF.
Epcot is no longer an acronym, it is just a name (only capital E) for quite a while now. It changed back in 1994.
The park logo just changed back to all capitals.
I usually love this news feed because it really captures the spirit of Disney for those of us who aren’t able to visit on a regular basis. This comment/caption from the article, however, seemed a bit unkind and not in the Disney spirit at all:
“My smug face as I eat french fries and watch marathon runners panting in the heat.”
Those who choose to work hard and participate in the marathon weekend deserve the utmost respect and praise – that goes for both the world class athletes and those just starting their fitness transformations with their first marathons. It seems especially inappropriate to mock the runners on a day when the heat was so bad that Disney shortened the racecourse in order to ensure runner safety. I want to offer my congratulations to all of the hard workers who participated in the challenging 2020 WDW Marathon Weekend! To those runners who are using RunDisney as a first stepping stone to get fit and start a healthier life journey, extra respect and congratulations! What you are doing takes courage and amazing goal setting, and don’t let anyone discourage you – keep going!
It’s a joke.
