It is possible to have a bad day at Disney…
Walt Disney World

EPCOT’s massive transformation has been completed, but there is still more work to be done. We’ve seen the long-awaited construction walls come down from around its new World Celebration gardens and CommuniCore Hall, revealing even more festival food favorites to munch on, live entertainment, and even a dedicated spot to meet Mickey and his pals! But Test Track is currently under construction, and we’re expecting a NEW version of the ride to debut. There’s pretty much always something new to look forward to in EPCOT!

We’ve seen singing popcorn buckets, we’ve seen popcorn buckets that light up, heck — we’ve even seen popcorn buckets that can move, but we’ve certainly never seen anything like THIS at any of the Disney parks!
“Let me see your nails!” That’s honestly one of the first things readers say to me when I meet them in the parks!

Since Disney Food Blog historically has been a “faceless” brand (early on it was always our policy to stay anonymous so that we could report on the true experience that any guest would receive when they went to a Disney restaurant or attraction…like an old school food critic), but in all of my photos I always had a manicure. And then, when we hired Tina (who was our primary reporter in the parks for 5 years), her nails were always immaculate — as well as the rest of her; she’s a style ICON!!!
