food IS a theme park
Ah EPCOT, the land of festivals and food (oh, and some pretty amazing rides too)!
EPCOT
As we walked around EPCOT today, we noticed one of the 2020 Taste of Epcot International Food and Wine Festival food booths had closed down. But, as they say, when one snack spot closes, another one opens! (They totally say that right?) Well, we found a newly reopened snack spot in EPCOT that can satisfy some of your basic Disney snack needs!
Walt Disney World has been making cuts, delaying construction projects, and making health and safety changes around the parks recently.
Cinderella Castle
This week alone, Disney made an official statement that the Spaceship Earth renovation and the new Mary Poppins attraction are being postponed. We just learned three new attractions that will allegedly close permanently.
The Disney Parks have officially reopened, but we’re still feeling the ripples of the closures.
EPCOT
We’ve been hanging out around EPCOT today checking out everything that’s changed since we were last here AND the 2020 Taste of EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. One hidden change we found was in the EPCOT Experience where the Spaceship Earth refurbishment and the upcoming Mary Poppins attraction have been removed from the “coming soon” video. Now, Disney has issued a statement about these two attractions.
There’s love (and Disney magic) in the air all around Epcot for Valentine’s Day!

And, while we’ve been strolling and sipping on the Pomegranate Margarita, we spotted the sweetest signs out for the holiday!
We’re over in Epcot with an exciting food update, and it isn’t about the Epcot International Festival of the Arts!
Epcot’s Spaceship Earth
If you’ve been following along, you’ve seen the many changes and construction updates as part of Epcot’s exciting transformation.
Even after chowing down on every new food and drink option at this year’s Festival of the Arts to compile our 2020 Best of the Fest list, we’re still HUNGRY!
Festival of the Arts Sign
And while earlier we found out Epcot would soon be debuting two new food locations, we now know WHEN they’ll be opening!
Although Festival of the Arts is happening in Epcot right now, we’ve also been giving you ALL the deets on the ongoing Epcot Transformation!
2020 Festival of the Arts Passport
And, while we were strolling along to the different food booths at the festival, we spotted some BIG NEWS that we had to share with you!
Between new attractions like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, or upcoming dining experiences like Space 220, the Disney Imagineers are hard at work for the Epcot transformation!
Spaceship Earth
If you’ve ever wanted to look “behind the curtains” to see just how the Imagineers come up with their magical ideas, then you’re probs going to want to know about the new exhibit coming to Epcot!
Things got real weird one morning in October when we noticed the Gourmet Popcorn Cart in Epcot’s Future World was strangely empty!
Epcot Gourmet Popcorn Cart
While we tried not to hyperventilate, a Disney World Cast Member assured us we could still get the deliciously-flavored snack, but we’d have to travel to the Epcot Experience exhibit to get it.
BUT NOW all is right with the world, and it appears the gourmet popcorn has magically returned from whence it came!
As many of you may know, Disney World is basically just a giant hard hat area at the moment.
France Pavilion Construction
Due to the INSANE amount of construction going on for attractions like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, TRON Lightcycle Run, and new dining locations like Space 220 and Beatrix, many of our followers have started asking us if it’s even worth it to go to Disney World right now. Like — “I’m proposing! Should we even go?” and “It’s my boyfriend’s first time in Disney World and I want it to be perfect. Does it even make sense to go now?”
