food IS a theme park
It may be Halloween season, but Disney World is also celebrating another extra special holiday!
Spaceship Earth
It’s Hispanic & Latin American Heritage Month, and that means there are dozens of delicious treats to try around Disney World, as well as some special entertainment and offerings. We stopped by EPCOT recently to check out one of those limited-time celebrations!
Epic Universe is well under construction and looking great!
Construction of Epic Universe @bioreconstruct
The new Universal theme park is set to open in 2025 with five new lands — Celestial Park, Dark Universe, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic, Super Nintendo World, and How To Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk. We’ve been keeping tabs on the construction and noticing when rides have been constructed, and other details show up. Recently, we noticed something black, toothless, and winged pop up that is quite adorable!
The only constant is change — and that’s especially true at Disney World.
Magic Kingdom
Walt Disney believed that the parks would never truly be finished, and we’ve seen that firsthand lately with new rides, restaurants, and even massive transformations like we saw at EPCOT. But, Disney isn’t showing any signs of slowing down at all and we’re predicting three huge changes for Disney World in 2025. Let’s get into it.
The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is underway, and we’ve been enjoying everything the festival offers.
2024 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival
There’s obviously a LOT of food to try at all the various food booths, and we spent the first weekend of the festival tasting EVERYTHING. Then there’s some fun entertainment, including the Eat to the Beat concert series where you can catch some live music from some pretty notable artists during the festival. However, there are also a lot of festival drinks, and we’ve told you about some of our favorites, but now we’ve got to tell you which ones you need to avoid.
Is there any place where a foodie feels more at home than at EPCOT??
Japan Pavilion
Now when it comes to your dining experience, Disney usually leads the way to accommodate for all types of food allergies, which makes it incredibly easy to recommend just about any restaurant for people dealing with a particular allergy. That being said, there is this one EPCOT restaurant that absolutely CANNOT accommodate this one specific food allergy, so let’s talk about it!
Lougefly Mania is real. How do we know? Cause we totally have it!
We love Loungefly bags!
Yup, a lot of us here on the DFB team LOVE Loungefly bags, so we are always on the lookout for the latest ones. During our search, we discovered some NEW bags that are exclusive to Amazon, and we are OBSESSED. So if you’re a fan of Loungeflys too, you’ll definitely want to check these out!
It’s another spooky week in Disney World, celebrating all things Halloween, as well as all things EPCOT Food & Wine Festival.
Tacos at La Hacienda de San Angel
We were recently reunited with one of our favorite Halloween treats, We also got a chance to try out the Pumpkin Butter Cocktail at Narcoossee’s (y’all, we’ve been talking about that one for DAYS). Disney also released a massive list of new foods coming to Disney World for Hispanic and Latin Heritage Month — and our tummies are READY! In the meantime, we’ve been keeping an eye on those Disney World restaurant menus, as we do, and we’ve noticed a few changes.Â
An all-new Avatar experience is coming to Disney California Adventure at Disneyland Resort!
Disney California Adventure
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 the Avatar expansion at Disney California Adventure at the Disneyland Resort! And that, of course, begs the question: When will this new Avatar section open? [Read more…]
