La Cava del Tequila A handwritten sheet of pink notepad paper on the tables puts the whole Oaxacan wood carving stand at half price. The reason, per WDWMagic and a guest who spoke to the vendor, is that the stand is leaving EPCOT's Mexico pavilion when August ends. Disney has not announced it and has not said what takes the space.
Journey Into Imagination With Figment Walt Disney Imagineering shared photos Friday from an in progress rebuild of the Germany Train Garden at EPCOT. There is a clock tower modeled on the Biergarten entrance, a miniature Snow White cottage with a mine shaft, a tiny construction site behind Please Pardon Our Pixie Dust walls, and a blue suited Dreamfinder standing in front of a Tudor building.
Spaceship Earth The light strips in World Celebration Gardens have been pulled out and the empty channels are being packed with concrete that matches the pavers, which points to Disney dropping the effect rather than replacing it. The lighting had been breaking since the day after the area opened in December 2023.
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival Signage has gone up across EPCOT's Global Marketplace kiosks, photographed on August 18, and those signs name the 2026 Food & Wine lineup while Disney's own festival page has yet to name a single one. Several signs carry a teal Cheers to 30 Years! ribbon, and the country signs photographed so far print the year that marketplace debuted.
Spaceship Earth Jason Fuchs is writing and showrunning a Spaceship Earth pilot for Disney+, inspired by the EPCOT ride, with Michael Waldron executive producing and Lee Toland Krieger directing. The official logline sends teenagers from Earth's past and future after a threat as vast as time itself. Casting is underway, and there is no series order yet.
Creations Shop Disney's August 5 details drop for the 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival revealed the merchandise line, a brand new Waiter Mickey PhotoPass Magic Shot across five World Showcase pavilions, and firm dates and pricing for both scavenger hunts. Remy's Ratatouille Hide & Squeak runs all 87 days of the festival. Pluto's Pumpkin Pursuit covers only 39 of them.
