Good morning from EPCOT! It was an exciting day here, filled with new merchandise, construction updates, and low wait times. Let’s get started!
On our way into the park we noticed new signs had been installed at Pin Traders and Camera Center. At Gateway Gifts the original signs remain, although they will no doubt be replaced soon. We love the new blue trim!
We “rope dropped” Mouse Gear hoping to find some new merchandise, and we weren’t the only ones.
Halloween merchandise has arrived at EPCOT, and all the latest styles are here, including the newest piece, the witch hat Minnie ears. We are so ready for fall!
We spotted a big stack of Limited Edition MagicBands behind the register. Along with all three of the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival MagicBands, the EPCOT Forever MagicBand was restocked, and there was a brand new Star Wars MagicBand featuring “The Child.”
This little guy had quite the day today! There was this Limited Edition MagicBand, plus the new Loungefly debuted across the parks as well today.
If you still need more “The Child” merchandise in your life, then you’re in luck. We found this brand new Limited Release MagicBand today as well. Just look at those eyes!
It was quite the day for MagicBands! We also found this Park Life EPCOT MagicBand, featuring some of EPCOT’s classic attractions.
Lastly, we found this Limited Release Halloween MagicBand featuring Mickey Mouse dressed in his spooky finery with candy corn sprinkled in the background.
Construction continues on the Play! Pavilion, with workers still rappelling around the dome to work on the roof panels. We’ve really enjoyed watching them work.
In The Land Pavilion, Soarin’ Around the World was a 10-minute wait around midday, as was Living With The Land. We’ve seen both of these rides’ wait times remain very low regardless of the time of day.
In The Seas Pavilion, divers were performing aquarium maintenance to the coral structures in the tank.
We found Joy from Inside Out frolicking in the grass just outside of The Land Pavilion. We love watching her play!
Not only has Pumpkin everything returned to Joffrey’s, but it’s not just for coffee drinkers anymore. With the Harvest Chai Latte, tea drinkers can enjoy a little PSL in their lives as well.
At the Mexico Pavilion, we saw a one-way traffic pattern tested recently that used the side doors of the building as entrance and exit, and kept the majority of the line outside. Today we saw a new system in place, with the front door being used as the entrance, the majority of the line inside, and the side door as the exit.
In the Germany Pavilion, we found these latecomers to the Biergarten merchandise line—an oversized unisex sweatshirt and a hat. Both are a mustard yellow color and feature the word “Prost!” a salutation similar to “cheers.” The sweatshirt retails for $44.99 and the hat retails for $19.99.
At the France Pavilion, a redesigned “Ratatouille” sign was installed yesterday. We’re glad to see the sign back so soon, and can’t wait to see this area open!
The France Pavilion also had a large restock, with both the new popular Minnie ears restocked as well as the new Minnie spirit jerseys.
We had a great day at EPCOT, and we hope you had a good time coming along with us. Have a magical day!
