It’s been a good day so far at Epcot!

So here is a pro tip that you might not be aware of. You can have all of your souvenirs shipped home. Cost is $40 for total value of over $250 or $18 for total value less than $250.

Step 1: Save receipts as you purchase (Cast members will love you for this!)
Step 2: Take to all souvenirs to any gift shop.
Step 3: Fill out shipping form from cast member.
Step 4: Cast member scans in all souvenirs.
Step 5: Pay for shipping.
Step 6: Say “See ya real soon” to all your goodies.

That’s it! Saves on cramming stuff in luggage and paying over weight airline fees. And Disney insures your packages for the value of your items. So if something breaks, Disney can replace it.

Alright, the last “where am I” was too easy. How about this sign, can you name the spot?

Disney Genie+ Update:

Starting today, Genie+ will follow a variable price structure based on the date you are visiting. Similar to theme park tickets, throughout the year, prices may be lower on less busy days and higher during peak periods like Thanksgiving and Christmas. For example, now through the end of October, prices will be $15 per Guest, per day on less busy dates, $22 on some of our busier dates, and somewhere in between on other dates.

I get this question a lot, so here is the current character dining locations and characters. The list will get updated as more locations reopen and bring back characters.

You're not getting old EPCOT, 40 is the new 30! 🎉 With your current makeover, I wouldn't guess that you were a day over 25. Cheers to the next 40 years!
