food IS a theme park
There’s a lot to do in EPCOT, whether you’re visiting for a festival or stopping by one of the many World Showcase restaurants.
Spaceship Earth
Of course, there are rides too! But we all know that one of the biggest draws to EPCOT is FOOD — so what should you spend your money on, and what should you avoid? Find out right here!
One of the best parts about EPCOT is getting to visit 11 countries in one day (well, sort of)!
Norway Pavilion
The World Showcase features several pavilions that bring different cultures and cuisines to one place. And, even though there are many challenges Disney-goers try to conquer, like the 4 parks in one day challenge, one of the most popular is to eat and/or drink around the world! Today, we’re showing you how much it would cost to eat or drink around the world using different budgets and preferences!
Drinking around the world in EPCOT is how many guests spend their day at the park.
We’re off to a great start!
Mexico is known for its fun margaritas, Japan its delicious sake, and the U.K. has all those crazy combinations of beer and liquor you can try! And while those drinks are all great, wine is a HUGE part of many of the countries around the World Showcase, and it can sometimes be overlooked. Even though EPCOT does have the Food and Wine Festival each Fall, we sometimes think people don’t know about ALL the places in the park where you can find great wine!

Greetings from EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth
We’re here to tell you all about everything NEW in EPCOT, from food, construction, merchandise, and more! Let’s get started!
When it comes to bars, we keep going back to La Cava del Tequila at the Mexico Pavilion at EPCOT.
La Cava del Tequila
We’ve had some great drink experiences there, from an Agave Experience to some unique margaritas (like tomato) and a Not-So-Old-Fashioned. We’ve even had a special edition mezcal there — with grasshoppers! So we pay attention when something new gets added to the menu there!
Did you even go to Disney World if you didn’t eat SOMETHING Mickey-shaped?!
Kringla Bakeri og Kafe
Whether you go for something classic like the Mickey Pretzel or something more unique like the hidden Mickey cupcake, it is a right of passage to have a Mickey-shaped snack at some point during your visit to Disney World. Today we stopped by Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe in EPCOT’s Norway pavilion to try a couple of new menu items!
If there are two things EPCOT is known for, it’s the eats and the drinks!!
Spaceship Earth
Not only has the Flower and Garden Festival brought us some delish treats this spring, but some of our regular stops are dropping some brand-new bites and we’re here to tell ya’ all about it!
We’ve been trying LOTS of new treats in Disney’s Animal Kingdom today, but we haven’t forgotten about EPCOT!
China Pavilion
We’re hopping over to the China Pavilion to try a brand-new drink at Joy of Tea! This kiosk is home to one of our favorite quick eats in the park, the Salt and Pepper Popcorn Chicken, so we’re excited to try their newest offering.
It’s time to celebrate Valentine’s Day, and what better way to do that than with some Italian comfort food and good drinks? At Disney Springs, Maria and Enzo have your back with special menu items this week.
Maria & Enzo’s Main Dining Room
At Maria & Enzo’s Ristorante, enjoy their Love at First Bite menu of imported Italian meats and cheeses, oysters, New York strip steak, and roasted vegetable lasagna! [Read more…]
In part one of “Beers Around the World,” D.J. Jones and his team of experts examined the various beers available in Epcot’s World Showcase. Here is part two of their global journey.
Kirin Beer Tap
After several hours of tedious research, the combination of the Florida sun and beer had begun to take its toll. So the research team and I decided to head back to our hotel where we would take in a much needed nap. Feeling refreshed and ready to complete our “Around the World” journey, we returned to Epcot and picked up where we had left off, which was halfway around the “World” in…..well, America.
We entered the American pavilion’s Liberty Inn, where Bud Light and Samuel Adams Boston Lager were both available on draft. While either of those would have been an acceptable choice, I decided to wait on ordering as my gut told me something better lay on the horizon.
My patience soon paid off, as I was astonished to find Sam Adams “Boston Brick Red” on draft at a nearby ice cream cart. The beautiful amber color of this beer was only surpassed by its incredible body of flavor. I later was told that this beer has been limited in distribution to only Boston area bars, which makes finding it in the World Showcase that much more impressive.

Next we journeyed back across the Pacific to the Japanese pavilion. There we found on draft [Read more…]
