food IS a theme park
EPCOT has gone through some serious changes lately, and there are more on the way.
Connections Eatery
One change we happen to be big fans of is the addition of Connections Cafe & Eatery! This quick service spot serves up all sorts of tasty eats and is also the Starbucks location for EPCOT. But, something has changed at Connections as some menu items have disappeared!
We’ve tried some unique food at Disney World over the years.
EPCOT
There was that time we had a whole octopus tentacle in our drink. Another time, we ate a Sea Captain Catch sandwich that was served on a black bun. Recently, Disney introduced a whole new set of fun snacks for us to try at the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival. But one item, in particular, has the internet abuzz, and we think it might be the best (and also maybe kind of the WORST) thing they’ve ever made. Enter the Pickle Milkshake.
Is there really a bad time to be at EPCOT?
Heavy crowds at the front of EPCOT
If the choice was to be at EPCOT or nowhere else, we’d choose EPCOT every time. That being said, there are better days than others to visit any of the parks. If you plan to visit Disney World this fall or winter season, there are a few days that you might want to avoid.
For us, no trip to Disney World is complete without indulging in a sweet treat.
Mmmm…ice cream
No dessert hits the spot quite like an ice cream sundae during a hot day in the parks. One fan-favorite place to grab some ice cream and other desserts is Marketplace Snacks in Disney Springs. Here, the menu is practically filled with great options if you’re looking for something to kick that sweet tooth while also cooling you off. However, there are a few items that stand out on the menu here, and one of those is the Bubble Waffle Sundae. Different versions of this treat rotate on and off the menu — we’ve seen a Mickey Bubble Waffle Sundae, a Toy Story Bubble Waffle Sundae, and even a Tinker Bell Bubble Waffle Sundae. On a recent trip to Disney Springs, we noticed that an all-new Bubble Waffle Sundae has graced the menu of Marketplace Snacks, and y’all already know that we had to try it!
Today, we’re heading into Disney World’s MOST ADVENTUROUS park for some of the best eats, best sweets, and best drinks that we could find.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
(And we think these could wind up being some of your favorites, too!)
The single-rider line is typically where we go for some peace, quiet, and a break from those super long waits.
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure
Typically, the single-rider line moves much more quickly than the regular stand-by line, as there aren’t nearly as many solo park visitors in most lines as there are groups of visitors. Some rides with notoriously long lines have implemented a single-rider line to help loading be much more efficient. Generally, this line can drastically decrease your wait time. But, well, there’s one single-rider line at Disney World that we think is truly cursed and is a total scam. (Not really. We’re just being dramatic. It’s just a really long line.)
Ever since the pandemic, people have had to CHANGE how they travel…especially in Disney World.
Cinderella Castle
We saw changes to booking policies, updates to attractions, and the addition of more digital features like MagicMobile and Disney Park Pass reservations. Quite a few changes have been made by travel companies, but there’s one big change that the new generation is looking for when they travel.
If you’re looking to try a fun new snack in Disney World, EPCOT is the place to go.
EPCOT
The International Food and Wine Festival has begun and there are tons of new foods to try. Adobo Yucca Fries, Braised Beef Poutine, and even a Pickle Milkshake have arrived for the fest, but if you get too caught up in the festival food, you might miss out on one of the best treats we’ve had in EPCOT recently. Let’s head over to the Land Pavilion to see what they’re serving!
One of the most popular and operationally unpredictable attractions in all of Walt Disney World is in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Rise of the Resistance
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is a technological marvel with a trackless ride mechanism, larger-than-life props, and interactions with the real heroes of the galaxy, so it’s a must-do for Star Wars fans and thrill fans alike!
