We told you about the name change at Oasis Canteen in Disney’s Hollywood Studios and DFB friend themeparkologist on Instagram shared this pic with us with the caption: “Oasis Canteen renamed to Epic Eats. SO… I gotta get something “epic” right? Cookies n Cream Topping and Soft-serve vanilla ice cream is $8.49. It won’t disappoint me every time I order. Yummy.”

We love seeing fun eats from around the world including Aulani in Hawaii! DFB fans hungryinvegas on Insta shared this photo with us of the Mickey-shaped Musubi!
