The International Festival of the Holidays starts on November 26th, 2021 and runs through December 30th, 2021. It’s a celebration of holiday traditions around the world through food, decorations, music, and more! The Holiday Kitchens around EPCOT feature flavors of the holidays from different cultures.

EPCOT is usually the best place to get food in Disney World, with delicious food, snacks, and treats around the World Showcase.

But recently we tried even MORE new menu items, which all came out in honor of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary. Although there are a few more 50th treats coming to EPCOT during the 18-month-long celebration, we went ahead and ranked all the ones that we’ve tried so far. So here’s our official ranking of EPCOT’s 50th eats and treats, in the order of worst to best. [Read more…]
EPCOT’s 2021 International Festival of the Holidays is returning this year with lots of fan-favorites including the popular Candlelight Processional, Cookie Stroll, and so much more.

One of the best things to do at this festival is snack your way through all of the Holiday Kitchens around the park, which serve up festive food and treats from around the world. We knew the Holiday Kitchens would be returning, but now we have a list of which ones are going to be at the 2021 Festival of the Holidays!
It might still be Halloween season at Disney World, but it’s also starting to look a lot like Christmas at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

Seafood lovers, it’s your lucky day! We’re bringing you a review from the fish capital of EPCOT.
Coral Reef Spread
Yep, we’re stopping by The Seas Pavilion in EPCOT to give the latest fishy fare at Coral Reef Restaurant a REVIEW! This unique, aquatic spot doesn’t typically stand out as a must-do (have you SEEN the rest of the food at EPCOT?!), but a unique atmosphere and a robust menu of seafood favorites could make it worth the visit. Let’s see how it holds up today!

After Disney World reopened in July 2020, Yehaa Bob was not invited back to perform. But, he announced not long ago that he would return to Port Orleans as of the reopening on October 14th. That’s today! We visited to see his performance, which looks a little different now, and here’s why.
Knowing to plan for the big stuff — like securing your dining reservations, booking a hotel room, and purchasing the right park tickets — is all part of the big picture when it comes to planning a Disney World vacation.

One of our favorite views is the big balloon floating above Disney World’s shopping center, Disney Springs.

This balloon is the Aerophile, which is actually the world’s largest hand-painted helium-filled balloon. Guests can take a ride in the balloon to get gorgeous views of the area around them. Pretty soon, though, this ride is going to close for a short refurbishment.
