Disney4me Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 We love visiting Epcot during the Flower & Garden Festival! On this trip, we checked in on a few of the festival’s limited edition eats and souvenirs, the construction happening around World Showcase and all the NEW merch that hit stores this week! Flower and Garden Festival Remember, the 2019 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival is ON through June 3, 2019 which is great new if you’re looking to grab that Orange Bird Sipper Cup… What’s New in Epcot’s World Showcase We’ll start off with some GREAT news — the Orange Bird Sipper Cup is back in stock! You’ll find this cutey over at The Citrus Blossom Outdoor Kitchen. This souvenir cup is limited to 1 per guest and you can purchase it either filled with Orange Cream Slushy or on its own. Orange Bird Sipper Cup The Artisanal Cotton Candy at the Lotus House Outdoor Kitchen in the China Pavilion continues to draw HUGE crowds! 5-Layered Spring Fantasy Cotton Candy On our most recent trip, the line was 13 people deep 40 minutes BEFORE opening! We’ve heard reports that lines are getting as long as 90 minutes on some days, so if you’re determined to get this limited-edition treat be sure to get there early! Lotus House Artisinal Cotton Candy Line Over at our favorite tequila bar — La Cava del Tequila — we spotted a NEW cocktail! The Cafe de Oaxaca is a frozen drink featuring Mezcal ilegal blanco, vanilla ice cream, cold brew coffee moonshine and agave nectar. La Cava NEW Drink, Cafe de Oaxaca Over in the Norway Pavilion the waterfall is drained so you can currently see a hidden “easter-egg” most Epcot guests miss… Norway Waterfall Drained If you look closely at the waterfall you can spot a hidden Viking sword! Do you see it?! Norway Waterfall Drained — Can You Spot the Hidden Sword? We’ve got a little bit of construction at The American Adventure Pavilion. This project doesn’t look like anything too major, just a simple refurbishment. American Adventure Construction Walls are still up around the on-going construction in the France Pavilion for the upcoming attractions and restaurants. The pavilion is getting a new creperie, a Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along, and a Ratatouille attraction — Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure between now and 2021! France Pavilion Construction What’s New in Epcot’s Future World Those Joffrey’s Mini Donuts we first spotted in Disney Springs have been popping up around the park, so we just had to check if they made it to Epot! Joffrey’s Coffee in Epcot Alas, mini donuts have not arrived yet in Epcot. At least we can still enjoy the original Joffrey’s donuts until then. Read about our Disney Springs mini donut sighting here! Joffrey’s Original Donuts — No Minis Yet! We also spotted a rare pop-up meet and greet with Cinderella! We can’t guarantee she’ll be visiting with guests on other days, but it’s worth keeping an eye out while you’re walking through Future World .
