News Gelateria Toscana - Construction between Italy and American Adventure pavilions

My optimistic outlook has me thinking maybe they didnt put this inside the pavilion because they have plans for that big open space/expansion area?

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasnt this a Kim Possible stop that was turtned into a pin traders "outpost" ?

This is what Google Maps shows in that location previously.

Ahuh, thought so. I knew that area felt familar from the shots recently taken of the opening. There used to be a Kim Possible and Perry stop there, the stop by Intrernational Gateway I am guessing is still a pin traders location ?

 

[Jabbas]

They did a really good job with the theming. Can’t wait to try it!

For those asking, the old gelato cart is now closed.

When did that close?

 

[Giss Neric]

For something that is permanently there, their food and drinks (presentation wise) looks like it was bought from one of the festivals.

When did that close?

It was still open when I was there on Tuesday.

From a live stream yesterday (Thursday)... it's closed.

For the map nerds....
Old:

New:

The Gelati cart on the other side of the pavilion was also removed from the map.

It’s a nice compliment to the gelati stand 200 feet away on the other side of the pavilion.

There's also two places to buy beer and pretzels about 50 feet away from each other in Germany...and both always have a line.

So, likely had its last day of operation on Wednesday?

Yeah some walls down in Epcot. I know it is not huge but every wall counts. Now if we could just get some walls down in the front of the park.

The old gelato cart/stand is now gone, RIP.

Let this forever be remembered as the day that a piece of clutter was removed from the World showcase Promenade. I’m 1000% surprised they didn’t turn it into a pin shop/wine kiosk/anything booth.

why RIP? now you have a larger gelato place with more food options on the other side

I know. But it was there for years and years. It died so the gelateria can live.

It could be even better if they decided to move the Italy Festival Booth over there to free up the waterfront.
