food IS a theme park
There has been SO MANY news stories to cover since our last news update (which was a DOOZY!).
A reopened Magic Kingdom
Let’s recap on what the past week has looked at when it comes to Disney news! (Buckle up guys, it’s a long one!)
We’ve miss walking down Main Street and popping into our favorite Disneyland restaurants.
Disneyland’s Carnation Cafe, a Main Street USA Landmark Since 1955
But, even though we’re not in the parks, we can still have one of the classic dishes from the iconic Carnation Café. Whether you’re a fan of dill pickles or bread and butter pickles, you can fry and serve up Disneyland’s Fried Pickle recipe along with a house-made zesty dipping sauce.
Now that EPCOT has officially reopened, we’ve been checking out the park to see what’s new!
EPCOT
Upon reopening, the park also kicked off A Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival! Of course, we visited all the booths to see what they’re serving up this year! But let’s take a look at what ELSE is new in EPCOT!
After a long day of snacking around the 2020 Epcot Food and Wine Festival, sometimes you can’t help but crave a healthy dish or two. (You’ve got to get those fruits and veggies in somehow!)
Earth Eats
And, it’s a good thing that Earth Eats is back with plant-based items that your whole group will enjoy. Oh, and did we mention that there are SO MANY featured eats and drinks brought back from the Flower and Garden Festival at the booth this year??
SURPRISE! The 2020 Epcot Food and Wine Festival, which is starting earlier than ever before, opened even EARLIER during Cast Member Previews (and we’re not even the slightest bit mad about it).
Germany Food Booth
While we’re gearing up to bring you the foodie news of your dreams with reviews of ALL the booths at the festival this year, we’re taking a trip around the World Showcase to the sweet corner of the Germany booth!
Today is Tax Day 2020 — yes, TODAY! — and whether you filed back in April or you waited until today to pay Uncle Sam, one thing is for certain: we could all use a break!
That’s right. Today’s the day to take a BREAK from everything and plan your next Disney World vacation.
Cinderella Castle
And since it’s always good to save some extra dough, we’re here to give you something REALLY GOOD today.
For TODAY ONLY we’re offering a fantastic opportunity to SAVE MONEY (and an excuse to blow off your responsibilities and start making some PLANS)! ;-D
Although many of us were expecting the 2020 A Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival to open on July 15th along with the rest of EPCOT, we were surprised to see so many of the booths pop up in the park during Cast Member Previews!
Canada
While there were new eats and treats around the World Showcase, we were happy to see some of our favorite returning booths make their way back to the festival. And, we’re taking you with us to check out all the items that are back at the Canada Food Booth this year!
As Disney World has started its initial reopening this week, we are back in the parks to say hello to our favorite characters and eat all the snacks our stretchy pants can handle!
Magic Kingdom
And, along the way, we’ve encountered plenty of surprises since Disney World looks completely different than we’ve known it to be before.
We’ve had a LOT of feelings about returning back to Disney World during the first round of reopenings this week.
Main Street, U.S.A.
Although we expected to see distancing measures and new places to spot characters, there were quite a few changes that Disney sprung on guests when they entered the parks. Whether you’re someone who really loves riding attractions or you’re all about the food, Disney World has really shaken things up when it comes to how the parks are working now.
Pull out the Triple Sec! There’s a new tequila coming to EPCOT and we’re only ordering it on The Rocks.
La Cava del Tequila
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is starring in the newest movie based on a Disney RIDE — The Jungle Cruise. But do you know what’s cooler than the backside of water? The fact that he is making his own line of tequila! [Read more…]
