Are shops open right now in the World Showcase?

[Lindseyd32833]

I realize that a lot of the smaller outdoor carts may be closed, but in general, are the shops open? Like Mitsukoshi, the bazaar at Morocco, and the indoor shopping area in Mexico? Are there any countries where no shopping areas are open at all?

I haven’t physically been but I know some if not most of them are open just not staffed with international employees

Some shops are open, some aren't. The Disney site would list it under their reopening stuff.

We went Monday, this is what we noticed: I know Japan shop is open, but China is not. Twinings tea shop is open, but no other UK shop. Norway's is open. Some Morocco ones were open. Mexico is open. Not sure about the other countries.

The only country where I think no shops at are open is China. I think the rest of the countries have at least something open.

And China does have the "kiosks" open out on the Promenade.

Not too bad. Love the caramel shop and hope they are still doing pick-a-pearl in Japan.

I wouldn't get too excited about the caramel shop - it's mostly pre-packaged stuff now aside from the popcorn.

Bummer!

Double bummer!

Oh well. We knew this was going to be a different kind of trip.

DFB talked about some new products in the Italy pavilion so some of those shops are open

This isn’t true. In addition to small bags of caramel popcorn, they have some of their best sellers available.

I wish Italy’s pizza window would open...

That usually only opens during peak times. Between lack of staff and low attendance, I doubt we'll see it open for quite a while.

does anyone know if the ice cream shop in France is open?
I love their ice cream.

I love ❤ their ice cream.

It is, the one in the back not the soft serve by the water

I know but with the limited “plain Jane” food in Epcot, it would be a good idea with outdoor seating.

Thank you! I’m not much of a drinker any more so my husband gets his grand marnier slushy i always go back into France to get an ice cream. My favorite treat!
