food IS a theme park
Over at EPCOT, we’re still waiting for some of our favorite restaurants to reopen!
Morocco
This is especially true over at the newly-reopened Morocco Pavilion — we’ve been waiting for both Tangierine Cafe and Restaurant Marrakesh to open their doors again! But now, there’s a new snack option in the Pavilion you might want to check out.
After so many stops into the shops in Disney World, you start recognizing the same things over…and over…and over again.
Mitsukoshi Department Store
But, if you’re looking for the most non-Disney store at Disney World, you can head over to Mitsukoshi Department Store in EPCOT’s Japan Pavilion. The store is filled with unique gifts like peach rice cakes, strawberry Kit Kats, and cool color-changing shirts. We’ve even spotted some Animal Crossing plushes (it is Disney after all) and we found ANOTHER video game-inspired item on our visit today!
We’ll be the first to tell you — Disney merchandise can get pretty expensive!
Cinderella Castle
As much as we love Disney-themed shopping, we’ve seen some pretty pricey things in the parks. Things like jewelry, designer ears, and fancy handbags can all become big budget-busters. Today, we spotted another expensive souvenir, but it’s probably not the item you’d think!
One thing that is so cool about EPCOT is that you can get a variety of unique souvenirs from the World Showcase Pavilion shops! We’ve found a lot of unique and tasty chips, as well as trolls (not the internet kind) and some fiesta-worthy Minnie ears at the pavilions!
House of Good Fortune
And one of our favorite shops there is the House of Good Fortune in the China Pavilion. Yes, we’ve had a lot of AMAZINGLY awesome snacks from there, but we love the other merch there, too! And today, we found the most interesting plush ever!
We’re at Disney World every single day, and well, we’ve seen some things…
Dole Whip!
We’ve seen ride fails, merchandise fails, and more. But we think what we saw today might be the most anxiety-inducing thing we’ve ever seen at Disney World.
Enjoying the typical restaurants, rides, and shops in Disney World is great. But, if there are limited-time events, you’ll want to make sure you know about those and can take advantage of them before they’re gone.
Disney Springs
Recently, we saw lots of limited-time deals announced for Valentine’s Day. And now another limited-time event is coming to Disney Springs, but this one is for whiskey fans.
We have an exciting update!
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
We’ve had a fun time in Magic Kingdom lately trying secret Starbucks drinks, checking out the construction, and yes, even coping with some big crowds. But if you’re in the park and running out of time to finish all your favorite rides, we have good news!
Attention: Dole Whip fans!
Aloha Isle
You may know how much we LOVE Dole Whip here at DFB. Watermelon Dole Whip, strawberry-chocolate Dole Whip, Dole Whip floats…we’ve tried it all. But when we stopped by Aloha Isle today in Magic Kingdom, we noticed yet another Dole Whip option that we HAVE to tell you about!
We spotted some interesting new finds in EPCOT today!
Japan Pavilion
The World Showcase is home to fun snacks, gorgeous views, and exciting upcoming attractions! But if you take the time to walk around the stores in each country, you’ll find some truly unique items for sale. That’s exactly what we did in the Japan Pavilion today…and it led to a fascinating discovery!
We LOVE Disney ducks.
Disney Ducks
Sure, we’re big fans of all the character interactions, attractions, and views around the parks, but can we just agree that the ducks are the REAL star of the show? Well, while out and about in Disney’s Hollywood Studios today, we spotted them being as iconic as always.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
