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!
Ah, it’s fall. The weather is getting cooler, the leaves are changing color, and everyone is back to school. Bring on the pumpkin spice lattes and cozy sweaters!
Magic Kingdom
Speaking of fall…now is a GREAT time to go to Disney World! From the fun seasonal events to the exclusive fall treats, we love spending September through November at Disney World. And if you’re planning a trip to Disney World this fall, check out these trending items for your trip!
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!
KA-CHOW! Get ready for CARS to zoom into Disney World’s Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom Entrance
In August 2024, Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro made a surprising announcement at D23 2024: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event. Okay… he actually dropped a TON of surprising announcements, and one of them is that Magic Kingdom’s Frontierland is going to be expanded with a brand new area themed to Cars! And that, of course, begs the question: When will this new Cars section open? [Read more…]
One of the most fun things you can do in a Disney park is meet the characters! Whether that’s through a meet and greet or you see a character wandering around or you see characters during a character dining experience, it’s always a real TREAT when you come across them.

Now, when it comes to characters, we don’t think you can beat the interactions in Disneyland because the resort is adding new characters ALL the time. Well, now, two NEW characters are coming to Disneyland and we think you’ll want to book a flight to the West Coast to meet them.
