food IS a theme park
The EPCOT Food and Wine Festival is all about the great snacks (melty cheese for days), but it’s also an excuse to try as many beer flights as possible in the park.
A Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
Since the Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival, we’ve really been missing those flights since they haven’t been around at the booths. But, GOOD NEWS! We found the one place you’re actually able to get a beer flight during the festival (cue the Hallelujah chorus).
Looking for some delicious BBQ in Disney World?
The Polite Pig
Then you’ll definitely want to check out The Polite Pig in Disney Springs. While their regular menu has tons of fantastic options, we just spotted its new Chef’s Special and it looks super yummy!
There’s been a LOT of construction around Disney World since the parks re-opened, from the constant updates of the EPCOT Transformation to the TRON Coaster coming to life!
Swan and Dolphin Resort
We’re seeing plenty of hotel projects move forward as well, like the new addition to the Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort, a Marriott property situated within walking distance to EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Disney World.
We’ve been keeping our eye on the construction ever since the news dropped back in 2018 that the 14-story tower was being added. Today, a few updates have been revealed about the new hotel structure, which recently added its top floor!!, including a new name and an opening timeframe!
While Disney incorporates some AWESOME technological features into its parks, mishaps and glitches are bound to happen at some point or another.
The Cinderella Castle Moat is Full!
Recently, we’ve seen Rise of the Resistance shut down multiple times, a Splash Mountain log flume boat sink, and a few other problems around Disney World. But, today, it looks like the Disney World app — My Disney Experience — is having a few technical difficulties of its own!
We’ve had some seriously fantastic food around EPCOT recently.
l’artisan des glaces in EPCOT’s France
From new special edition macaron sets to a deliciously cheesy treat at a Food & Wine Festival booth that opened this weekend, our taste buds have been having some serious fun! Recently, we spotted another new seasonal treat and it’s berry good!
If there’s one thing that Annual Passholders are obsessed with (you know, other than Disney World in general), it’s those specialized magnets.
Walt Disney World Annual Passholder
We’ve seen some MASSIVE lines wrapping around the parks just to pick up these bbs. But, since Disney is making sure to limit the people in the parks right now, those big queues are just not an option. Still, Annual Passholders will be able to get their precious magnets because Disney is mailing them out to guests throughout the summer (bless up!!).
Oh boy, oh boy do we have news for you today! For all of you Minnie ear fans — especially those of you who are LOVING the Minnie Mouse Main Attraction collections — listen up!
Over in EPCOT today we spotted something that definitely should NOT have been there! A bevy of beautiful King Arthur Carrousel Ears!
Minnie Main Attraction King Arthur Carrousel Ears
Disney has stated that they would not release these limited edition collections in the parks, so finding them here is a bit shocking. Especially since there have been so many issues with the Merch Pass set-up on these much-loved collections.

But if you’re in EPCOT today, you may just get lucky! Head over to Mousegear as quickly as your little feet can carry you, and you might be able to scoop up a prize.

Hello 👋 from the A Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival! (We practically live here, it feels like.)
A Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival
While we’re anxiously waiting to snag all those Figment and Chef Minnie items coming soon, the Food and Wine Festival is also bringing back more food booths across EPCOT. Of course, we couldn’t resist taking you with us to check out the returning and brand new menus at the booths on their OPENING DAY. While we already stopped over at The Alps, we’re heading over for a l’il taste of Spain in EPCOT too!
The weekend is HERE, and there’s no better way to celebrate this Saturday than with new Food and Wine snacks and treats (can we get an amen??).
International Food and Wine Festival
While the A Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival has taken elements of the Flower and Garden Festival that was cut short this year, we haven’t seen too many Food and Wine festivities happening in the parks. But, this week we got a sneak peek at the specially themed merchandise that would be coming to the parks, as well as more food booths across EPCOT.
Disney has been knocking it out of the park with the new Minnie Ear designs lately!
