Good morning, and welcome to EPCOT! We’re traveling the world(showcase) today in search of new merchandise, restocks, and new food. Tighten your laces because we are headed out.
It’s a beautiful day for a Sunday stroll through EPCOT.
Additional tables have been added outside of Connections Café. Maybe this will help to solve the congestion that occurs inside?
We found a new oversized outdoor pillow at Creations Shop.
You can find Disney Pride Collection Minnie Ear headbands at Creations Shop, as well. These ears match perfectly with the entire collection.
Is Groot screaming or singing?
“Heigh ho, heigh ho, it’s off to work we go.”
EPCOT opened early today, at 8a.m. Many of the rides were walk-ons this morning.
Pride treats continue to be available through the month of June. We discovered this Greek Salad at Sunshine Seasons.
Of course, we had to say “good morning” to our seahorse pals. They were all very active this morning!
A few Vault Balloon Bucket Hats are in stock at Port of Entry.
It’s time to head around the world, and Olaf is seeing us off on our journey. Bye, Olaf!
The Plaza de los Amigos Marketplace had a few new items. A shot glass, a pitcher, a margarita glass are just to name a few. The design matches the new Minnie Ear Headbands.
The glass items will need a wash before use.
We also discovered a new magnet, tote bag, and a wristlet.
Disney is ready for the 2022 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. A few more food booths have sprouted up around World Showcase.
It’s a hot, summer day, and we found a secret drink. Joffrey’s Coffee and Tea Co is offering a secret menu beverage exclusively to Annual Passholders. This is the Lavender Lemon Drop is offered with or without alcohol, and is very refreshing.
Today is the last day the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Trifle is available in the United Kingdom Pavilion.
Peek a boo!
We got to save the galaxy with the Guardians, and now we can take home the ride vehicle in magnet form. You can find this at Treasures of Xandar.
Every month Salt & Straw changes up their Limited Edition flavors. We headed to Disney Springs to give all five a try.
First, we tried a scoop of the Pink Rosé and Watermelon Sorbet. This was favorite of the flavors.
Next up was the Baked Brie & Fig Cheesecake. The fig flavor was prominent.
Third, we tried Deviled Egg Custard with Smoked Black Tea. This scoop had the most interesting flavor combination. If you love black tea, and smoked flavoring, you will love this.
Fourth we tried Cinnamon & Honey Fried Chicken. This scoop had us the most intrigued from the beginning. The spiced vanilla ice cream was delicious, and the bits of fried chicken croissant added a buttery flavor.
Lastly, we tried a scoop of Chocolate Nocino Cherry Pie. This scoop had flavors that all mixed really well together. The chocolate and cherry are a great match, and those flavors are then elevated further by the brandy. Do you have a favorite flavor?
After all that ice cream, we took a stroll over to World of Disney. Your Disney nuiMOs can be ready for hurricane season in this new outfit.
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Wishables have finally arrived. Are you going to be scurrying in to squeeze these?
Balloon wands are restocked at World of Disney. These are great for night time in the parks, or at home if you are missing the parks.
A new 50th Anniversary Loungefly Backpack has arrived, and this one features park icons. You can find the monorail, Space Mountain, Millenium Falcon, and more stitched all over the bag.
That’s all for us today. We hope you enjoyed our day around Walt Disney World, and we’ll see ya real soon!
