food IS a theme park
Even when the Sun goes down, we just don’t want to leave EPCOT!
EPCOT
And who could blame us?! There’s been so much going on at EPCOT with the festivals, new attractions, and construction projects that are almost complete. Even though there’s so much to love here and so much to look forward to, we want to warn you about the dangers of trying to stay at EPCOT super late into the night! Let’s talk about it!
The time has FINALLY come!
Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana
That’s right, Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana is officially OPEN for guests to visit. This long-awaited addition to EPCOT underwent Cast Member, Annual Passholder, and Disney Vacation Club previews, and now it’s finally time for everyone else to join in on the fun. At the previews, we saw crowds SKYROCKET to the point that Cast Members had to utilize a Virtual Queue. Disney also said that the VQ would be used again once the ride opens if needed. Well, today is the day, and we’re ready to check out those crowds!
It’s a particularly exciting time for EPCOT fans.
EPCOT
The park is boasting a few all-new experiences as the host for the Disney 100th Anniversary Celebration, and among the fresh, new things in the park, a lot of folks are most excited about the fireworks show that will arrive on December 5th. Luminous: The Symphony of Us will replace the current show — EPCOT Forever — and will feature an original composition to “remind us that we’re more alike than different, connecting our hearts together as one.” Now, though, we’ve gotten even MORE news regarding the new show. Check it out!
Disney fans are getting EXCITED as October 16th approaches.
Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana
Why? Well, that’s when the all-new Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana attraction will officially open for all Disney World guests. Annual Passholders, Disney Vacation Club Members, and Cast Members have been able to preview the attraction, and believe us when we tell you that for a walk-through attraction, Journey of Water is awesome. Since we were able to preview the attraction with our Cast Member friends, we’ve gotten a lot of questions from our readers on what they can expect. One of the main questions we’ve gotten has to do with WEATHER.
Picture this.
The leaves will just barely start to change colors!
It’s a perfect fall day at Disney World. The sun is shining, the skies are a clear, deep blue, and it’s one of those rare occasions that it actually feels like fall in Central Florida. It’s the type of weather that allows you to wear shorts and a long-sleeve shirt and feel comfortable as you trek around the park. You’re at EPCOT, and although hints of summer linger, you can spot trees throughout the park whose leaves are just beginning to turn brilliant shades of orange, yellow, and red. You’re craving a snack that just FEELS like fall. We know just where to head.
There is so much to see in EPCOT‘s World Showcase.
Japan Pavilion
All the different pavilions have so many unique food and drink offerings, beautiful architecture to admire, shopping to do, and so much more. Every now and then, some pavilions will have special events you won’t want to miss out on, and another one is coming up on September 29th!
Disney World is full of surprises.
EPCOT
Sometimes, the surprises come in the form of changes you may not expect, or maybe you walk into a park or hotel and see something you weren’t expecting. That happened to us just recently in EPCOT — check out the amazing cake that we saw!
One of the coolest things about EPCOT is that it is quite literally always changing.
EPCOT
Each season brings in a new festival, which allows guests to indulge in a whole new assortment of food, drinks, and even activities. Currently, the festivals are spread out throughout the whole park, focusing on the 11 countries that make up World Showcase. However, that will all change soon. Let’s talk about it!
Did you know that you can find Disney bags in all shapes and sizes?
Mickey “The Band Concert” Loungefly Bag
We’ve seen Loungefly bags, Dooney & Bourke bags, and many, many others. And we wanted to remind you of some of the “tastiest” looking bags that you can find right now in Disney World.
Welcome back to EPCOT, everyone!
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure
Currently, something strange is going on with a popular EPCOT ride and an opening timeline has been announced for a new EPCOT restaurant. However, that’s not all that’s happening in the park — come with us to see what’s new!
