food IS a theme park
If you’re a Disney Vacation Club (DVC) member, you’ll want to keep reading this post.
Te Fiti in Journey of Water
We had a chance to recently visit Disney World’s newest attraction in EPCOT (which is not open to the public yet) thanks to a Cast Member preview, but now DVC members will soon have a chance to visit Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana. Disney recently announced when DVC members can preview the new attraction. Exciting!
Out of all the Disney World parks, EPCOT is one that really sticks out to us when it comes to food.
EPCOT
EPCOT is the place to eat for those with adventurous palettes, as you can grab cuisine from each of the 11 countries represented in World Showcase, plus snacks and small plates from the various booths located throughout the parks during the seasonal festivals. While the majority of the restaurants at EPCOT take on a more casual atmosphere, there are TWO restaurants in the park that just feel downright fancy.
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!
Want to experience a brand NEW EPCOT attraction before everyone else? You can…if you’re an Annual Passholder!
Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana
Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana is a NEW walk-through experience that is set to open this fall in EPCOT. Disney has been hosting Cast Member previews of the attraction, and we took you with us on a FULL walk-through of the entire thing. But now you could get the chance to experience it for yourself if you’re a Disney World Annual Passholder.
With a park as big as EPCOT, you’re gonna want the BEST easy tricks out there to turn your day from STRESSFUL to Spectacular.
And that’s EXACTLY what we’re got in store for you TODAY, here on DFB Guide.
Disney has been releasing a ton of new eats lately, and we have been on a mission to try them all.
EPCOT
From pumpkin-shaped Halloween treats to a peanut butter milkshake you just can’t miss, we have tried a few winners throughout the parks recently. One little gem in EPCOT often puts out some of our favorite snacks — but if you’re not careful you could walk right past them! Sunshine Seasons has a bakery case with some delicious options, and the menu rotates occasionally, so you might not know something is there unless you go take a look. Recently, we found a new dessert at this spot that hasn’t even been added to the menu yet — come see how it went!
Disney World is constantly changing, which means there is often a new or updated snack, attraction, or experience in the works at any given time.
EPCOT
As fun as these experiences can be, a lot of these changes aren’t for everyone. Whether guests prefer a ride that existed before its replacement (like The Great Movie Ride turning into Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway) or just think something could have been done better, Disney’s decisions aren’t always popular. In EPCOT, the new Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana attraction has yet to officially open, but it’s already a bit controversial.
We’re thrilled to be exploring and sharing so many incredible things about Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship joining the fleet: the Disney Treasure!

From new dining experiences (like a Coco restaurant and a Jungle Cruise-themed lounge!) to a new story on the AquaMouse attraction-at-sea and so much more, there’s a lot to take in. But there’s something more that you’ve simply GOT to see… and we’re sharing it with you right here. The Disney Treasure boasts an entire luxury suite inspired by one of our very favorite Disney destinations on land: Walt Disney World’s EPCOT!
Let’s check out what happens when a Disney Park meets a DISNEY CRUISE SHIP in the Tomorrow Tower Suite!
Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana is set to open soon, y’all.
Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana
This attraction in EPCOT is scheduled to debut before the year is over, but we were lucky enough to get a preview of it recently and were really impressed with how much fun it was. However, there’s one tip that could truly make or break your experience and we need to talk about it.
We know we’re telling you about all the changes that happen in Disney World ALL the time, but nothing changes more than the FOOD in Disney World.
Spooky Dole Whip Sampler
But, hey, that’s exciting, right? We even got to try CHEESE in ice cream recently, thanks to some new flavors at Salt & Straw (and we are forever grateful). Of course, we’re starting to see even MORE spooky treats pop up in Disney World for Halloween season — and we’ll tell you all about those, too. But now, we’re going to talk about restaurant menu updates because we had quite a few that happened this week.
