EPCOT African Outpost Beads?

[BingandNelsonFan]

Hi! Is the African Outpost stall/kiosk still active in World Showcase that sells the beads made from recycled WDW papers? If so, anyone know what the current/recent options are (i.e. bracelets, necklaces, etc.)? Thanks!

We were there in November and didn’t see them.
I look every trip

Oh, too bad. Have they been gone for a long while now, or is this temporary?

We’ve been to EPCOT on several trips since the reopening and have not seen them.

Thanks! So sad. We were really hoping to get some later this year.

The lady was making them this past Wednesday.

That's great to hear! We're planning on taking Mom to EPCOT for her birthday later this year, and those beads are something she's been hoping to get for a LONG time now. I hope they're available.
So, do you get to see them being made? I didn't realize you could do anything past purchasing them.

She was making them when we saw her. She sits at a small table and the finished ones are out to purchase.

Thank you! So excited to see this post. These were always a favorite souvenir but were not there on my last few trips. Did you happen to notice what they had for sale - earrings, necklaces, bracelets?

I looked at her making them but I did not look close enough to say for sure what all she was making.
