Disney4me Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 We had a case of wanderlust this week, and instead of getting out the passport and packing, we just hopped over to spend the day in Epcot. Our journey started with some time spent in Future World, followed by a trip around the World Showcase. And boy, did we find a lot new eats and buys for you on this “trip”! Epcot Disney World’s Epcot Future World New Menu Items and Merchandise Updates The Gourmet Popcorn Stand is sporting a bit of a new updated look. The purple and yellow on the cart are new. The menu is the same as always here. Epcot’s Future World Gourmet Popcorn Stand Epcot’s Future World Popcorn Cart Menu Sunshine Seasons in the Land Pavilion now offers an Oreo Chocolate Mousse. This has replaced the Chocolate Mousse Cake. Oreo Chocolate Mousse at Sunshine Seasons This looks a little more “chocolate” than “oreo” to us, but… Oreo Chocolate Mousse at Sunshine Seasons While enjoying the air conditioning in Sunshine Seasons be sure to check out the new Magic Cookie Bars available in the grab-and-go case. If you’re not familiar with these magical treats we can tell you they usually contain graham crackers, butter, sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, coconut, and chopped nuts. Disney must be using pecans in their version. Be sure to check with a cast member if you have any allergies or sensitivities as recipes can vary for these treats. Magic Cookie Bars at Sunshine Seasons If you’re stopping in Fountain View (this park’s Starbucks location) or have a craving for a Boston Cream Pie you can pick up the new Boston Cream Pie Cupcake.
