You never know what you might find at EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth
Over the last few days, EPCOT has been transforming from the Festival of the Arts to the upcoming Flower & Garden Festival, and a lot is changing. Check it out here!
Sometimes it feels like California gets ALL the cool stuff! Remember when Disney California Adventure hosted the Oogie Boogie Bash for Halloween and unveiled all those amazing new characters? Or what about the classic debate on which park has the better version of the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction: Disneyland or Disney World? (the correct answer is Disneyland, by the way😉 ) For those that are tired of letting Disneyland take all the credit for the coolest new offerings, you’re in luck!
Salt & Straw in Downtown Disney
There’s a super fun little ice cream restaurant in Downtown Disney called Salt & Straw. We’ve tried some crazy ice cream flavors here, but now we can try even MORE ice cream because Salt & Straw is coming to Disney Springs! Now, we’ve got an exciting update on the status of Salt & Straw that signals the opening date is coming soon!
You work hard. You get those assignments done on time. You clean the house/apartment. You take care of kiddos. You’re doing an awesome job. And now that it’s time for you to go on your well-deserved Disney World trip, it’s about time you treat yourself to the ULTIMATE EPCOT fireworks dining experience. Got no idea what we’re talking about? Don’t worry, we’re about to share ALL the details with you.
This is one of those EXTRA special resorts!
The way we see it, you have a few options when it comes to watching the Harmonious fireworks in EPCOT. One, you could stake out a spot around World Showcase, plant your feet and position yourself in the perfect location, and then watch the show. Or you could stroll up to Topolino’s Terrace at Disney’s Riviera Resort, sip your cocktail, and watch the show from high in the air. Of course, there are other ways to enjoy the show, but let’s get back to the Riviera, shall we?
It’s been a LONG time since we’ve seen a daytime parade in Disney World. We’re not talking about those bite-size character cavalcades, here, we’re talking about a full-fledged, fantastical, good-old-fashioned Disney parade. It’s been too long! Now that Disney entertainment is coming back to the parks, we’re preparing for new and returning shows, parades, and more.
Festival of Fantasy is returning soon!
Back in 2021, we found out that the classic Festival of Fantasy parade is returning to Disney World, but now our most recent discovery proves that the big return date is quickly approaching!
We have been buzzing around like worker bees getting ready for the 2022 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival!

You can expect the return of the Garden Rocks Concert Series, a Graze around the Gardens, and of course — all the tasty treats you could ever want! Oh, and how could we forget all the amazing merchandise you’ll be able to take home?! And, Disney just announced there will be FIVE collections joining this year’s festival merch lineup — let’s check them out!
If you’ve ever pulled up the Disney World website to book a vacation only to close out of it immediately after because of intense sticker shock, raise your hand now. (I can’t see you, but I’m assuming the majority of you shot your arm STRAIGHT in the air.)

Disney’s prices can be INTENSE. But sometimes experiences can be SO expensive that our bank account starts screaming before we even get the chance to click “confirm purchase.”
When you’re visiting Disney World, it can be easy to feel like you’re on an exclusive island filled with Mickey and Minnie. But, whether you’re staying at an off-site hotel or looking to dine at a restaurant that won’t charge you an arm and a leg for a hamburger, you just might find yourself traveling around the outskirts of the resort area.

From White Castle to Portillos to shopping, there’s more beyond the parks that can be worth checking out.
