food IS a theme park
Friends…it’s FINALLY TIME!
EPCOT
We’ve been waiting YEARS for EPCOT’s Transformation to be complete, and now, another huge step forward has been taken — Communicore Hall and Communicore Plaza open on June 10th — and we got to go inside to bring you this preview!
We’re DEFINITELY talking about this new Disney World show.

Earlier this year, Disney announced that a new Encanto show would be coming to EPCOT this summer. At the time, the company announced that “¡Celebración Encanto!” would run on the new CommuniCore Plaza stage as part of the grand opening of the newly reimagined portion of EPCOT now known as World Celebration. The show opens June 10th, but we got a chance to see a preview!
We love our EPCOT festivals dearly, but there’s one thing that makes us sad every time — they end.
CommuniCore Hall
Distance makes the heart grow fonder, we guess, but that still doesn’t mean we don’t long for our favorite festival eats when they’re not around. We thought this problem may be solved with the opening of CommuniCore Hall and CommuniCore Plaza happening on June 10th, but now we’re second-guessing. We got a sneak peek at this new festival hub tonight, and we still have BIG questions about this new festival booth.
We love EPCOT at night — especially because of Spaceship Earth.

We could sit and watch the nighttime light shows on this ICON for hours! But now, a new Encanto-themed show is debuting in EPCOT — and Disney just dropped some NEWS about some new evening entertainment, as well!
A NEW Disney character meet-and-greet location is about to open in EPCOT, and we can’t wait for you to see it.

Previously, you could meet Disney pals at the Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival, but Mickey and the gang decided it was time for an UPGRADE, so let’s head to the brand-new CommuniCore Hall to check out the new spot! [Read more…]
EPCOT is at the dawn of a NEW ERA, and WE WERE THERE.Â
EPCOT
For the last several years, EPCOT has been in the midst of a massive transformation. New attractions including Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Moana Journey of Water have, for better or worse, changed the face of the park forever. Now, one of the final pieces of this reimagining is complete!
Okay, who’s getting excited about Epic Universe?

The more details we get, the more, well, EPIC Universal Orlando’s upcoming third park sounds, right? We’ve been getting a ton of details about some of the lands that the park will feature, including Isle of Berk — How To Train Your Dragon, Super Nintendo World, and Celestial Park. We’re still waiting for more details about the two other lands, Dark Universe, and a new Harry Potter-themed land. In the meantime, though, we’re visiting Universal’s NEW Epic Universe Preview Center, which means we’re about to learn even MORE about this new park!
In our minds, a good day includes a little Amazon browsing — maybe a little add to wishlist, maybe a little add to cart…
We’ve been shopping again!
We’re ALWAYS glad to share our Amazon finds with you, and today is no exception! We’ve got a Father’s Day gift idea, some Mickey earrings that are on sale, and an oh-so-nostalgic Loungefly backpack! Let’s get into it!
I go to Disney World multiple times a week, and I’ve become pretty darn good at packing a park bag!
Cinderella Castle
I get quite a bit of practice loading up different bags with my theme park essentials, and I’ve tried a variety of options — from fanny packs to large backpacks to purses. However, the one that seems to stick and that I use the most of all is a Loungefly backpack…but I have a love/hate relationship with it!
A NEW addition opened up in EPCOT today, and it’s something that we constantly hear people asking for!
EPCOT
One of the best things about EPCOT is the seasonal festivals that happen throughout the year. We love grabbing some gorgeous treats at the Festival of the Arts, noshing on plant-based snacks at the Flower & Garden Festival, eating as much cheese as humanly possible at the Food & Wine Festival, and taking part in the Cookie Stroll at the Festival of the Holidays. Although food and drinks are aplenty in the park during these festivals, there’s one thing that’s sadly LACKING in most areas: SEATING.
Now, a new rest/festival dining area has opened up, and we think y’all are gonna LOVE IT! [Read more…]
