After many walks through the park seeing the construction progress walls blocking off a new eatery, the long awaited debut of EPCOT’s Gelateria Toscana has arrived.

Located in EPCOT’s Italy pavilion in World Showcase, Gelateria Toscana features walk-up windows in which to order your delicious treats and beverages. To give park fans an idea of where the new gelateria is, the new offering takes the place of a cart that was used as one of the starting points of the former Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure, with the cart standing dormant in its later years before making way for the delectable Italian desserts and drinks.
Gelateria Toscana is on the World Showcase promenade, not deeper inside the Italy pavilion, and does not have a designated seating area, so those looking for a table or bench might have to take a few steps into the pavilion or further. It should also be noted that Mobile Order is not available at this location, and it is walk-up only.
