What’s New in EPCOT: A Strange Christmas Cookie, Dog and Cat Bracelets, and LOADS of Pins!
Hello from EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth
We took a walk around the park to see if we could spot anything new, so here are the latest EPCOT updates!
EPCOT Food Updates
Holiday Hearth
Holiday Hearth is one of the food booths set up inside World Showplace for the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays. And we discovered a yummy cookie there in November: the Salted Caramel Spaceship Earth Cookie. But that cookie got a makeover and now looks…well…what 2020 would look like if it were a cookie.
Holiday Salted Caramel Spaceship Earth Cookie
We’re not sure why it has socks, and what’s going on here, but at least it tasted the same! We guess, in the end, that’s all that matters.

La Cava del Tequila
We love a nice, classic cocktail, and when we saw that La Cava del Tequila was serving up its own version of an Old Fashioned, we jumped on it. It’s made with Casa Noble reposado tequila, Santa Teresa rum, Glenmorangie Scotch, Knob Creek bourbon, and Nixta elote liqueur served with Cardamom bitters, a big ice cube, and a Luxardo maraschino cherry.
Old Fashioned
This drink is full of surprises, but most importantly, it was strong, but very smooth — the perfect twist on an old classic.

Spice Road Table
Spice Road Table recently reopened with a brand new menu! And now there’s a menu board in front of the restaurant.

It’s all Mediterranean small plates now, but we liked almost everything we tried there recently.

EPCOT Merchandise Updates
Germany Pavilion
The Germany Christmas Shop now has the same holiday merchandise we previously spotted at World Showplace, including this Minnie Mouse Frohes Fest T-Shirt for $29.99. It has Minnie on it in traditional German garb holding a pretzel!

Japan Pavilion
In case you haven’t sent all your Christmas cards out yet, the Japan Pavilion has some really sweet Sanrio cards, like this Hello Kitty Christmas Tree Card that pops up, sort of like the Lovepop cards we think are so cool! This card is $19.95.

Mouse Gear
This is the way…to please any Mandalorian fan this holiday season. The Mandalorian Talking Action Figure is $29.99. He’s got several character phrases that he says!

We also found the Alex and Ani Disney Cats Bangle with charms of Marie and the Cheshire Cat, plus a charm that says “I love my Disney Cat.” TOO CUTE.

But there’s a bracelet for dog lovers, too! The Alex and Ani Disney Dogs Bangle features Pluto, Pongo, and a charm that says “I love my Disney dog.” Both bangles are $49.99.

There was also an Ahsoka Lives Pin. Yes, she does! And she’s getting her own TV show on Disney+!
Ashoka Lives
Then there’s this colorful Star Wars Logo Pin. It’s got lightsaber hilts on it.
Star Wars Pin
The Star Wars Love Pin is tongue-in-cheek with the Empire symbol on it, which we pretty much think doesn’t have much to do with love! But check out the “V” which is made from lightsabers.

The Star Wars Hope Pin has the Rebel Alliance logo, which is all about hope!

The Cereal Pin collection is a lot of fun, and here’s the latest entry — the Kronk’s Nature Mix Cereal Pin. These pins open up and have little puzzles inside them!

We also found the Anna and Olaf Winter 2020 Pin that is part of a set with all the seasons.
