food IS a theme park
When we arrived at EPCOT for a special Cast Member preview today, little did we realize the 2020 Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival booths would also be underway (surprise)!
Food and Wine
We thought being reunited with Spaceship Earth and riding Test Track with a short wait would be about as exciting as our day would get! But suddenly we’re now hoofing it around EPCOT’s World Showcase to get you the full scoop on this year’s Food and Wine line-up!
EPCOT is preparing to open to the public on July 15th and is kicking it all off with a modified version of the International Food and Wine Festival.

We’re tagging along with a friend at the Cast Members Preview and already getting a taste of what Food and Wine Festival has to offer this year. There have been some obvious changes like the reduced amount of booths and menu items. There have also been some additions like the Mac and Cheese booth and now a new digital guide with interactive features. [Read more…]
Is it weird to lose sleep over a giant geodesic sphere?
Spaceship Earth
Well, we tagged along with a friend for Cast Member previews of EPCOT and got to see inside that giant golf ball we all know and love today. And while there have been some changes made, we can tell ya Computer Lady is safe and sound! In fact, she’s not going anywhere for the time being! 😉
We’re out here at EPCOT today experiencing many things in the park for the first time in MONTHS!
Test Track
We’ve just arrived at the park and we couldn’t believe our luck when we saw Test Track was virtually a walk-on! Well, actually, we COULD believe it since wait times at Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom have been significantly shorter these days now that there are way fewer people in the parks. Let’s see what modifications they’ve made to Test Track since the last time we rode it, shall we?
If there’s one thing we look forward to every year, it’s EPCOT Food & Wine.

We were taking a gander at an almost-reopened EPCOT today at the Cast Member Preview (we were invited by a friend!). Much to our surprise, some of the festival marketplaces for the upcoming A Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival were OPEN! Take a look!
Disney is gearing up for EPCOT to reopen this week.
Sunshine Seasons
With the start of A Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival and a ton of new health measures, we’re expecting some changes when we get back into the park. We’re even already seeing some changes! Today, we noticed the addition of the Mobile Order feature to a favorite EPCOT quick-service spot!
Shortly before Magic Kingdom began welcoming back guests last week after its longest closure in history, Disney released some information about construction schedules for attractions that were in-progress.
Main Street, U.S.A.
And while we suspected the temporary closure might delay some of the delivery dates of the projects Disney had planned, we’ve since learned construction on TRON: Lightcycle Run will be picked back up in stages.
We’ve been scoping out Disney’s Animal Kingdom ever since it reopened last week.
Tree of Life
And so far we’ve already spotted a few new pieces of merch including the new Fab Five coffee mugs and Together Again t-shirts! But now, we just discovered a new long sleeve tee we’re simply WILD about!
Annnnd we’re back in EPCOT for the grand reopening and the first day of the Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival. Last week we took a detailed look at all of the changes at Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom.
Epcot Entrance
Now, we’re live in EPCOT for the park’s Reopening Day to check out all of the new processes and changes! And don’t forget, the Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival kicks off TODAY. You can view the full menus here.
Note: We have already checked out the park for a Cast Member preview. You can read more on our first day back in the park below.
Magic Kingdom has been looking just as beautiful as ever since we’ve returned back to Disney World (especially with the redesign of Cinderella Castle).
Magic Kingdom
Although we’ve been exploring everything happening in the parks since they’ve opened again, we have loved being able to pick up new merchandise, like the Together Again collection!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
