New MagicBand+ designs are arriving at Walt Disney World. We spotted this new Grogu Magicband+ in Pin Traders – Camera Center in EPCOT.

In Creations Shop, we spotted the EPCOT Starbucks ornament. Unfortunately, the new Starbucks EPCOT ceramic tumbler that we just found yesterday, was already out of stock.

The Mickey Mouse water bottle is black and has a design of little Mickey heads all around the bottle. The top of the bottle all features a Mickey Mouse carabiner. With the carabiner on top, you can attach the water bottle to your backpack to make it easier to walk around the parks.

We also spotted some new fake succulent holders in Creations Shop. Grogu from “The Mandalorian” is sitting inside of a hover pram planter, and Hamm from “Toy Story.” These would be the perfect way to add some Disney decor to your home.

In Connections Cafe, we spotted the new Walt Disney World Starbucks tumbler.

As we made our way through EPCOT, we stopped to say hello to this silly old bear. We saw him doing some fishing. It seems that Winnie the Pooh should stick to catching butterflies as he wasn’t that successful in catching fish.

Inside The Land Pavilion, the escalator was once again running. In case you missed it, it had been closed for three days because a pair of Crocs got caught in the escalator.

It was such a beautiful day in EPCOT today, and the crowds were light.

On our recent trips to EPCOT, we have been noticing random characters have been showing up in American Adventure Pavilion. Today we spotted the mischievous Stitch doing meet-and-greets. You never know what character you will run into, as these “surprise” meet-and-greets are not listed on the My Disney Experience app.

American Adventure closed today for refurbishment at EPCOT. The American Adventure Pavilion is still open, and Voices of Liberty are still performing throughout the day.  The refurbishment has not affected their performance schedule or location. For the most up-to-date showtimes, check the My Disney Experience app.
