food IS a theme park
EPCOT‘s new restaurant is officially open!
Japan Pavilion EPCOT
Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya has opened its doors and wowed us with its commitment to theme, delicious food, and stunning views. A few details really stood out to us when we stopped by to check it out, and it had us thinking — a few Disney restaurants could really learn a thing or two from this new restaurant concept!
There are several new restaurants opening this year in Disney World, including The Cake Bake Shop at Disney’s BoardWalk and Summer House on the Lake in Disney Springs.

Those are likely going to open in a few months, but there’s one new EPCOT restaurant that’s opening THIS WEEK! [Read more…]
We’ve eaten at every restaurant, fast food spot, and snack cart in EPCOT, and we know just where to find the BEST places to eat. But that means we’ve also discovered some of the worst ones, too.

If you’re planning an upcoming Disney World trip, don’t forget to avoid these EPCOT restaurants!
Disney’s newest restaurant is officially OPEN!
Menu
EPCOT surprised us with an early opening of Shiki Sai: Sushi Izakaya in the Japan Pavilion on August 15th, and we stopped by to see what this new restaurant is all about. From color-changing drinks to a $300 sushi boat, this spot has a lot of exciting things to offer — but is it the right choice for you and your group? Maybe! But, here are a few reasons why you might want to skip this new dining location.
The newest restaurant in Disney World is now officially OPEN!
Shiki-Sai
Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya opened in EPCOT‘s Japan pavilion in World Showcase on August 15th. It’s open for walk-in guests only, but reservations are available now for dates starting on August 28th. We stopped in to try out the new eats here (including the $300 sushi boat! 😳) so we could discover which menu items are worth the cash and which you should skip. A lot of the things we tried were super tasty, but there are just two items that you simply CANNOT miss at this new spot. [Read more…]
When you’re at EPCOT, you’re not just eating at a theme park — you’re eating AROUND THE WORLD.

So WHICH restaurants are gonna offer something NEW and EXCITING for you to try, which ones will give you the BEST variety, and which ones will stretch your dollar? Let’s go on a Disney food adventure today, on DFB Guide.
Dining options in Disney World are constantly changing.
Japan pavilion
Price increases hit some of our favorite restaurants, new dining locations take over old ones, and seasonal menus come and go throughout the parks. Thankfully, these changes can lead to exciting new experiences in the park, and Disney has shared that EPCOT would be getting just that this summer. Shiki-Sai Izakaya and Sushi is a table-service restaurant coming to the Japan pavilion, presenting a “festive dining experience in a sharable Izakaya-style.” We’ve been waiting for the news of its exact location since it has been announced, and now, we have a new clue about its potential whereabouts.
Okay we’re going to let you in on a little secret here — if you want some of the best food in EPCOT, you absolutely CANNOT skip the France Pavilion.
France Pavilion
We’re big fans of the quick service restaurant there, Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie with its delicious pastries and baked goods, and if you’re craving ice cream, there’s no better spot in the park than L’Artisan des Glaces. We recently had a pretty spectacular meal at Chefs de France as well, and Monsieur Paul is a great choice for high-end eats. But now, we’re taking you along to another restaurant in the pavilion — one you’ll find all the way in the back!
We’ve eaten everywhere in Disney World. Yes, EVERYWHERE.
Cinderella Castle
Nope, we’re not exaggerating. We’ve been in the business of reviewing Disney World restaurants for 15 years and we’ve been Disney fans even longer than that, so we have DECADES of experience dining “around the World.” For that reason, we’ve tried hundreds (maybe thousands) of items on the menus at Disney World’s table service restaurants, and we have strong opinions about what you should eat…opinions that we’re about to share with you!
Are you ready? Are you excited? It’s BACK!
Garden Grill
No, we’re not talking about the random churro cart in Magic Kingdom or the Refreshment Station in EPCOT. We’re not even talking about the exclusive fireworks show that will return for two days only in Disney World. It’s time to EAT because breakfast is officially back at Garden Grill, bb!
