Rumor has it that the L.A. Prop Cinema Storage shop might just be the next Starbucks stop in the Parks. The refurbishment is scheduled to last until March 2015.L.A.

Oh, and a chili powder rim – YOW!Ambhar Tamarindo MargaritaWe’re always happy to have a reason to spend some extra time at La Cava, and it looks like there is more opportunity to do just that. The Epcot After Hours Wind Down event has been extended at all four of the original venues: La Cava del Tequila, Rose & Crown, Spice Road Table, and Tutto Gusto.Originally slated to run through mid-September, bookings are now available through November 9thon Thursdays through Sundays (with the exception of Saturday, November 8, due to the Wine & Dine Half Marathon).

They’ve somehow managed to tuck an entire scene from “Frozen†complete with characters in the right-hand corner of the bakery case!Frozen scene at Kringla Bakeri og KafeFrozen scene at Kringla Bakeri og KafeBut back to food… the new item here is S’mores in a glass!S’mores at Kringla BakeriWe’ll have a review for you soon, but in the meantime you can read all about it in our DFB Guide to Epcot Snacks, 2014 Edition!ItalyGuests in Epcot’s Italy Pavilion can now grab an Italian Fruit Soda amongst the ever-changing items at what we like to call the Donkey Cart.Stand in Epcot’s ItalyMenu at Italy standFranceVive la France!

The line was only 90 minutes long the other morning (I use the word “only,†since I haven’t seen it under 200 minutes since they first showed up at Princess Fairytale Hall!).Wait Time to meet Anna and ElsaWhile the Casey’s Batter Up! Souvenir Cup isn’t really new, it looks like they’re trying to get the word out about it at Casey’s Corner with these extra-huge signs.Batter Up! Souvenir CupHave you seen the Batter Up Cups?
