Epcot Update: Mexico’s Donald Duck Meet and Greet, Italy’s Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria, Japan’s Spirited Beasts Exhibit & More – Photos and Video

Hi everyone!

There are many changes going on at Epcot – I’ll start with the Mexico pavilion (below, left), where Hacienda de San Angel is quickly taking shape, and the new Donald Duck meet and greet area (below, right).

Donald Duck wears his fancy sombrero (below left and right) as he waves to the camera and greets his next guest.

The full meet and greet area is shown below, it looks like ancient ruins (below, left). Hacienda de San Angel (below, right) has some added color since the last time I was there.

Video #1 – Donald Duck – New Meet and Greet at Epcot, Mexico Pavilion Walt Disney World 7/15/2010 – Donald Duck greets guests in his new meet and greet area at Walt Disney World.

Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria at the Italy pavilion is scheduled to open next month, and the facade is now down from the restaurant (below left and right).

Two different views include the detail around the windows (below, left) and a full shot of the restaurant (below, right).

Video #2 – Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria Construction at Epcot, Walt Disney World 7/15/2010 –This new restaurant will be opening in Italy at Epcot in time for fall 2010. The 300-seat restaurant will feature a menu inspired by the famous pizzerias of southern Italy.

A fascinating new exhibit is at the Bijutsu-Kan gallery in the Japan pavilion (below left and right). It is called Japan’s Spirited Beasts:  From Ancient Stories to Anime Stars.

The two worlds of Japan collide in a variety of displays (below, left and right). We’ll have a bigger update later that includes a variety of photos from this exhibit!

New signs have been posted at Epcot, between the shops at the main entrance to World Showcase (more on that below). A classic sign shows the way to the Romantic Road in Germany (below, left). Spaceship Earth’s grandeur is seen behind Hacienda de San Angel (below, right).

One of the new signs points the way to Future World (below, left). On the way out of the park, I noticed Lady Tremaine and the stepsisters (below, right).
