It’s time to check in at our favorite place in the world for drinking, eating and seeing little purple dragons, Epcot! The Flower and Garden Festival has ended and temporary work walls are everywhere while the gardens, topiaries and booths are removed around the park. Rumors are swirling around a possible replacement for Universe of Energy as new permits have been filed for drainage work behind and around the pavilion. My money’s still on a new indoor/outdoor coaster, but I have my doubts that it will involve the Marvel property Guardians of the Galaxy. And speaking of the Guardians, there has been merchandise available at Epcot featuring the lovable saviors of the universe for months, which has only added fuel to the rumors.

Mission: SPACE will be closed for refurbishment until late July. I believe this is being rushed through so they can close Energy shortly after and not have too many rides down simultaneously. Rumors say the green side (no spinning) will be getting its own ride film, but no official announcements have been made. It’s possible this down time is only for general maintenance, but we’ll have to wait and see. Choza de Margarita, the new outdoor margarita stand in Mexico looks like it’s really close to opening! We got a good look at the details of the new booth this update. And finally, the main store in Japan has reopened its front half which was recently remodeled, expanded and had new merchandise added. Watch the video and see the photo report below for complete details and more information on all of these projects!
