food IS a theme park
Disney World’s nighttime shows are some of our favorite forms of entertainment!
Fireworks
Disney does a great job of using visual elements such as fireworks, lasers, and projections combined with music to create an immersive storytelling experience. There has been a one-of-kind Disney World nighttime show happening this summer that fans have really enjoyed, but unfortunately, it’s last show is happening SOON.
Disney World is known for being magical, right?!
EPCOT at Disney World
I mean, the rides, the food, and all the memories — it’s all second to none. But speaking of the food, let’s be real — sometimes the choices Disney makes can be pretty wild. To be sure most every snack with the name “Mickey” in it (i.e. Mickey pretzel) and Dole Whips always hit the spot, but there have been a couple of menu items that have made us gasp, guffaw, and sometimes even gag. Let’s talk about ’em!
What are you most looking forward to do on your trip to Disney World?
Refillable Mug
You’ve got so many options. Will you be riding all the rides you can? Are you just there for all the shows? Let’s be honest, you’re coming for all the food and drink, right? Speaking of drink, we’ve been noticing this collective demand coming from Disney fans about a refillable mug change at Disney World and we wanted to find out how you felt about it! Well, we asked and you delivered!
We are BACK with everything you need to know about the biggest EPCOT festival of the year. This year is even bigger with 41 food booths!
Steakhouse Blended Burger
We tried IT ALL so we can confidently tell you which are a must-try and which you can skip. But, EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival is SO MUCH more than food and we’ve got the tips and tricks to help you navigate the fest like a pro.
After all the whirlwind announcements we heard at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, we had been waiting for Disney to make a move on the transformation of DinoLand, U.S.A. at Animal Kingdom to the Tropical Americas.
DinoLand U.S.A.
We learned that an Indiana Jones ride is poised to take over DINOSAUR, while an Encanto attraction will also be part of this new land. We had seen some initial permits filed a while back, but now it looks like things are really kicking into gear!
The magic just hits different at Disney World, right?!
Imagination Pavilion
If we tried to put our finger on it, it’s not just the sights, nor the smells of things like popcorn and churros, or even the rides — it’s kind of a combination it all, right? Well, to that point, there’s this one sneaky thing that Disney does that can totally change your trip to Disney World and we bet you’re not even aware of it!
We would like to think that Disney is receptive to some of the things us fans come up with or request.
Sleepy Hollow
For example, when Disney World removed the hush puppies from the menu at Columbia Harbour House, there was a LOT of chatter from folks who were upset that this favorite snack disappeared. Then Disney brought that snack back. We’ve seen instances of where Disney has also taken some of our ideas for snack hacks and made them permanent additions to the menu. Well, y’all, it’s happened again! Disney has taken one of our snack hacks and added it to the menu!
Well, we have certainly talked a LOT about food in Disney World this week. Well, we ALWAYS talk about food, but this week, we attended the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, and ate, well, a LOT of food.
One of our favorite festival eats!
Yes, we visited every single booth at the festival and got reviews up for every single one. But we’re never NOT done talking about food in Disney World, so let’s talk about restaurants…or more specifically, restaurant changes. We take a look at Disney World restaurant menus every week and keep you updated on changes, so let’s see what updates we have for THIS week.
The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival has officially kicked off!
EPCOT Food & Wine Festival
We’ve spent the entire weekend eating ALL the things (so much food, y’all), and checking out everything the festival has to offer this year, including the food, merchandise, entertainment, and more. The festival runs through November 23rd, so you have plenty of time to catch it. While you’re at it, though, you may want to get in line for one of EPCOT’s most underrated rides because it recently got a Food & Wine update!
The 2024 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is now open and we’re eating our way around World Showcase!
Tangierine Café
You’ll find lots of food booths with delicious eats and drinks, merchandise you can’t wait to get your hands on, and concerts to catch. Luckily, we’re here to take you through it all so you know what’s worth a stop. And now we’re heading to one spot — Tangierine Café: Flavor of the Medina  — to check it out!
