food IS a theme park
From Halloween Crocs to Halloween inflatables, we’ve been celebrating spooky season (and buying all the Halloween merch) for a while now!
Halloween Merchandise
Starting October 1st, we’ll be able to enjoy even more spooktacular Halloween fun on TV. That’s right — Freeform’s “31 Nights of Halloween” will soon be here, and we’re got the full lineup!
We have been LOVING the Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival!
2020 Taste of EPCOT
And we’ve been even MORE thrilled with it ever since more food booths opened up this weekend!
Walt Disney World is always changing, growing, or under construction.
Magic Kingdom
However, many theme park projects were put on hold or canceled altogether when the global health crisis hit. Earlier, EPCOT’s proposed Spaceship Earth refurbishment and Mary Poppin’s attraction were postponed indefinitely. Then, Primeval Whirl, Stitches Great Escape, and Rivers of Light were permanently closed. Despite budget cuts and supply shortages, Disney has still managed to pull off a few new projects over the summer.
There are SO MANY delicious things to try at the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival.
France Festival Booth
Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen some additional festival booths open, and others temporarily close. Tomorrow, the France festival booth will actually be introducing a BRAND NEW dish!
Disney’s Pop Century Resort in Walt Disney World is welcoming back guests with a spooktacular concoction!
POP
In previous years, we’ve been met with a ton of competition for the best Halloween treats including Pumpkin Spice Milkshakes, Haunted Mansion wedding cakes, and villainous floats. A ton of these treats are making a return to Disney World this year, but we were curious whether a certain spooky drink would make come back.
So, guess what?? Pop’s Potion has made a return to Pop Century! We had the chance to get in the spirit of the season and try Pop’s Potion again. We had to see if tasted as good as last year, right?
If you’re trying to live out your own Star Wars story in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge or from the comfort of your own home, then you’ll probably want a lightsaber of your very own.
Legacy Hilts
One spot in Galaxy’s Edge will soon carry some very special lightsabers that are the first of their kind. Fans of Ahsoka Tano and Star Wars: The Clone Wars: you’ll definitely want to check this out.
There has been some commotion happening on the west coast that seems to indicate that Disneyland is hard at work preparing for the grand reopening of its theme parks! The resort originally announced a reopening for its two theme parks on July 17, but that had to be delayed indefinitely.
Disneyland Gate
With the Disneyland Resort showing more signs of life these days, we thought we would do a quick run-down of how the Happiest Place on Earth is preparing to reopen, whenever that may be! Keep in mind that these activities are not direct evidence to point to any sort of official reopening, and we won’t know for sure when Disneyland plans to reopen until Disney announces a date themselves!
Baby Yoda has been all the craze since he made his appearance on The Mandalorian last year.

And while we have shown you tees, weird masks, dog costumes, and just about everything else Baby Yoda under the sun, we’re back for more. I mean he’s so cute, can you blame us?
It’s a little different this year, but we’ve really been enjoying the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival this year!
Food & Wine 2020!
We’ve had so many delicious treats! But, of course, no EPCOT festival is complete without TONS of great merch! We’re taking a look at ALL the new festival merchandise, so hold onto your hats (and get those wallets ready)!
Earlier this year, the popcorn boxes around Walt Disney World started presenting the buttery treat with a little extra flair… some Mary Blair flair, that is!

And then, just a few weeks later, we couldn’t help but notice that cold drink cups around the Resort had received the same bright and whimsical makeover inspired by the distinctive artistic stylings of Mary Blair. Well, today, we made the happy discovery that drink cups for hot beverages now feature the colorful design, too! [Read more…]
