food IS a theme park
We’re BACK with another roundup of What’s New in Epcot!

Today we’ll talk about all the new merchandise, menu updates, and the construction updates we found. Let’s get started!
As many of you may know, Epcot is undergoing a pretty HUGE transformation, and as part of that transformation, a lot of familiar locations will be getting an overhaul. And beginning September 8, the popular Character Spot will close temporarily.

Character Spot is actually home to two character meet-and-greet areas, which are located across from one another in Epcot. [Read more…]
Wow! Lots of new dining is on the way to Epcot. But it’s not just limited to spots like the upcoming Takumi-Tei in the Japan pavilion or the Space-themed restaurant coming to Future World.

You never know exactly what you’ll find at Heritage Manor Gifts at The American Adventure Pavilion in Epcot!
Heritage Manor Gifts
This merchandise shop has been home to a variety of items from flavored moonshine to a full array of apparel and home goods representing each of the 50 United States.
It’s been a while, though, since they’ve had any large selection of snacks in stock. For a time, Claey’s Old Fashioned Hard Candy was one of the sole treats you could find here. So on our recent visit, we were surprised to see a whole new batch. [Read more…]
Hey Guys! We’re back with another DFB Video this weekend, and we’re taking you on a Food Tour of Epcot’s American Adventure Pavilion!
American Dream in American Adventure Pavilion
Admittedly, with so many unique and interesting dining options around Epcot’s World Showcase, the American Adventure Pavilion doesn’t really spring to mind when it comes to eating in Epcot. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t a few surprises tucked in this Pavilion. From its own Craft Beer kiosk to a terrific new dessert in the Pavilion’s Counter Service location, Liberty Inn, there are indeed some FOOD adventures to be had while you’re having your own American Adventure! Find out more about them in our latest DFB YouTube Video! [Read more…]
There have been some changes in Epcot’s American Adventure Pavilion as of late. Just recently, the Pavilion’s attraction, The American Adventure, debuted an updated film finale and anthem.

But there’s been a less noticeable change in the Pavilion, too — however small doesn’t mean insignificant. To the right facing the Pavilion’s theater entrance is a new addition.
What? You’ve recovered from the DFB Grilled Cheese Crawl, and you’re ready for another one? We are right there with ya!
So today, we’re heading to the Mecca of Diverse Disney food options, Epcot!
There are literally hundreds of delicious dishes and tempting snacks to be savored throughout the park. And that makes sense, since World Showcase immerses you into the cultures of eleven different countries.
In one day, you can enjoy pastries from France, sushi from Japan, a jumbo pretzel from Germany, schoolbread from Norway — and so much more!
But then, there’s Future World, too. Home to great little kiosks featuring flavored popcorns as well as one of our favorite counter service spots, Sunshine Seasons, there’s plenty to enjoy there as well.
We all have our favorites, but it’s also fun to check out the NEW stuff! And so today, that’s what we’re doing. Let’s head into Epcot and arrange the day around trying brand new (or in some cases, returning items) in our DFB “Just the New Stuff” Crawl, Epcot Edition!
And if you love this crawl, be sure to check out our DFB Guide + Snacks Bundle, which you can enjoy for an unbelievable 30% off the already discounted price with code BUNDLE17 at DFBStore.com!
I hope you came hungry. Let’s go!
To kick our day off right, we should start with a good breakfast. Sure, you could grab a bowl of cereal at the resort or head to Starbucks for a muffin, but I say let’s check out Sunshine Seasons in The Land Pavilion for their Cinnamon French Toast Bread Pudding.

Is it breakfast, or is it dessert? Who cares? Because this is vacation, and you NEED to have this rich, delicious dish to jump start your day. (Oh, and to answer the question, clearly, this is breakfast. I mean, who eats bacon with dessert? 😉 ) [Read more…]
