But whether it’s the menu, the location, or the overall atmosphere, there are other dining locations that get a bad rep or just aren’t as popular for various reasons. Let’s look at some of the biggest culprits.

While we know what Food Booths will be making their way to the festival this year, we’ve been patiently waiting (well, kind of ) for the announcement of the menus that will be arriving along with them. And, we’ve FINALLY got ONE menu for this year’s EPCOT Festival of the Arts that’s filled with two of our favorite things: coffee and donuts!

Coffee Toffee Cookie at Gideon’s
We’re talking about Gideon’s Bakehouse. A legitimate cookie haven that serves 1/2 pound cookies the size of your face. We’re in love, we’re in love, and we don’t care who knows it! Ok, we won’t get too ahead of ourselves. They’re good cookies, but we still have a lot to say about them! Today is the first day of the month and that means a NEW cookie was released at Gideon’s. The bakehouse will release limited-time cookies every month for guests to try out. We headed back to CookieLand, USA to review the newest cookie and taste a few more surprise items!

Walt Disney World reopened with limited capacities throughout every building on the property. All gift shops, restaurants, rides, and shows were reduced to accommodate physical distancing between travel groups.

Upon reopening, Disney World had a reduced capacity of 25% and the theme parks attracted fewer crowds. It was recently announced that the theme parks were raised to 35% and we’ve seen an uptick in crowds over the holidays. Attractions are seeing increased wait times and Disney has been adjusting experiences to accommodate the lines. But what about restaurants? While Disney World hasn’t shared specifics, we have seen a quiet increase in capacity within the restaurants. So, what does dining at a Disney World restaurant look like now that the parks have been reopened for a few months?
