food IS a theme park
If you’ve ever visited Disney World’s EPCOT, then you know that there are a TON of things to do in World Showcase!
The American Adventure
In the various World Showcase pavilions, you’ll find shops, rides, films, FOOD (of course), and various exhibits. From time to time, we see the films and exhibits change. Recently, a BRAND NEW exhibit inspired by the Pixar film Soul was announced for the America pavilion. And now we know when we’ll all be able to experience it!
The highlight of our Spring is here… The 2020 Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival!
Epcot Flower and Garden Festival
From now through June 1st, attendees can stand in awe at the countless topiaries throughout the park, dance the night away at the Garden Rock Series, and our personal favorite, eat and drink from a large selection of limited-time offerings.
It feels like it’s been a long time since Liberty Inn closed its doors in Epcot’s American Adventure Pavilion, but today the new restaurant taking its place has finally OPENED!
Regal Eagle Smokehouse
The former World Showcase quick-service spot has been totally reimagined into a new BBQ joint — Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue! Let’s go check it OUT!
Happy Friday, everybody! Can you believe you’ve almost made it through your first week back to work or school since the holidays ended? Neither can we!
Greetings from Epcot!
To pat ourselves on the back, let’s take a walk through one of our favorite Disney World parks and see What’s New in Epcot! The holiday crowds have filtered out and Epcot is returning to business-as-usual this week — just like the rest of us! Let’s see what construction, food, and merchandise updates we can spot on our trek today!
We are back at Liberty Inn, the Quick Service spot in The American Adventure in Epcot!
If you’re strolling around World Showcase and are on the hunt for some perfectly patriotic eats, Liberty Inn is your place. For a long time, offerings were pretty basic at this Counter Service location, which primarily features expected fare like burgers, chicken breast nuggets, and salads.
While that still holds true in most regards, it’s worth noting that Liberty Inn made some strides late last year towards providing a couple of options that reflect a greater array of American cuisine, including a few regional dishes like a Lousiana-Style Shrimp dish as well as Maryland Crab Cakes.
However, the menu has changed up once again, so we returned to scope out the situation and see what’s new, what’s gone, and how things are shaping up.

So, let’s step back into everyone’s favorite Publick Dining Room, Liberty Inn! [Read more…]
Time to dive into a new sweet snack at Epcot’s American Pavilion!
Fife And Drum
At the Fife & Drum, a counter service spot located at the front of the pavilion where we love to pick up our American Dream Slush and other assorted goodies, you can now indulge in a new snack item: Apple Pie a la Mode.
Fife & Drum Menu
Now, don’t get too excited. This is basically the same counter-service apple pie “pocket” that you have always been able to get over at Liberty Inn next door, and at Columbia Harbour House in Magic Kingdom. And that’s OK, since it IS pretty good. But with this option, they’ve added vanilla soft serve ice cream to make it “a la mode.” [Read more…]
Yep — there’s a lot to learn from a walk through Epcot…
So, I was wandering through Epcot when I caught sight of this.
Some guy (who turned out to be very nice) was holding this as he waited in line at the turkey leg stand in the America Pavilion. I thought it was a funnel cake with a huge slab of butter on it. No kidding. I was so intrigued that I [Read more…]
Did you know there’s a counter service restaurant in Epcot’s American Adventure pavilion? Lots of folks don’t, because it’s tucked back into the corner, but this place is massive!
It’s a great spot to stop for a rest and a bite to eat when you’re halfway around your World Showcase touring, and it’s also a good place to pass the time while you’re waiting for a show in the amphitheater across the way — Flower Power Concerts, Eat to the Beat Concerts, and the Candlelight Processional all take place there! (Note: Don’t feel like searching for a seat for the concerts? Sitting at an outdoor Liberty Inn table will give you the opportunity to hear the concert while enjoying your food! Win-win!)
