Disney World saw hundreds of closures in 2020, and while most of those spots have reopened and are back in business, one EPCOT spot has remained closed for the past six years – until now!

Der Teddybar

Der Teddybar in EPCOT’s Germany Pavilion is a gift shop that just reopened after a six-year-long closure. Let’s check out the newly reopened store!

Der Teddybar is now open from park opening to closing at EPCOT. The space is filled with German touches, like this wooden airplane hanging from the ceiling,

So cool!

If you’re not looking for teddy bears, they also offer some other types of animal plushies, like pandas, penguins, raccoons, sloths, and even flamingos.

So many plushes!

You’ll also find whole walls of merch dedicated to the two German Disney Princesses, Rapunzel and Snow White, with dresses, dolls, and toys.

If you’re craving a snack, you can also find German candies like Haribo gummy bears and German cookies.

SO much candy!

Der Teddybar has been closed for years, but the store briefly reopened with no merch as a meet-and-greet location last year. As part of V.I.Passholder Summer Days, Annual Passholders could meet Dopey there!
