food IS a theme park
It’s about that time of year when Disney starts dropping new Coco merchandise in honor of Día de los Muertos.

So we know Disneyland will soon get a TON of Coco-themed snacks in time for Día de los Muertos, but we usually expect to see some new Coco merchandise turn up around this time, too. Well, we did find a new GORGEOUS pair of Coco Ears in Disney World. Let’s take a look!
Every day at Disney World is our favorite day. It’s true.

However, some days do get a little extra sprinkle of pixie dust! This week was a really great week at Disney World, because of small details that just made our days in the parks and hotels just a little bit better. In case you’re craving just a little extra magic in your life as the week comes to an end, this post is filled with some of our favorite things that happened in the parks this week. Let’s go!
Did you know that there are TWO ways to get into EPCOT?

There’s the main entrance where the buses, monorails, and parking your cars will bring you, but over at the back of the park, near World Showcase, there’s a second entrance. And if you can enter through this International Gateway, you’ll get into EPCOT a LOT faster.
It’s no secret that EPCOT is full of a LOT of drink choices.

There might be a festival happening that offers a bunch of limited-time drink options, like The Food and Wine Festival. There are special lounges like Space 220, which offers unique cocktails, or you can grab a pint from the Rose and Crown Pub.
If you find yourself obsessing over all the sauce options at Chicken Guy!, completely customizing your popcorn at Magic Kingdom, or indulging in a little DFB snack hack, you might want to listen up. Why eat the plain, boring version of a Disney World snack when you can ENHANCE it, right?
We LOVE a snack hack!
For those of you who want a little extra flavor, need a sweet treat, or are looking for something new to try in Disney World, come with us as we review an updated version of a classic Disney drink. Off to EPCOT!
We’ve seen a number of permanent closures this year in Disney World. but there are also some locations that were allegedly temporarily closed — and still haven’t reopened .
Grand Floridian Afternoon Tea
Some of these indefinite restaurant closures date back several years, and that leaves us wondering if these locations will ever re-open.
Visiting EPCOT soon? You could be very lucky!

Not only is the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival going on right now (which brings some delicious dishes to the park), but we recently saw that a special EPCOT restaurant has reopened!
September 22nd cannot get here fast enough!
EPCOT Food & Wine Festival
September in general is actually a BIG month for Disney World. During that month, the 100th Anniversary celebration will “officially” kick off in Disney World with more additions at EPCOT, like a platinum Mickey statue and a new Spaceship Earth lighting show. But it’ll also mark the opening of some very special things at EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival!
Do you have a favorite Disney World ride?
Spaceship Earth at EPCOT
If you’re like us, you might have SEVERAL favorites, but the truth of the matter is that almost EVERY Disney World ride just SLAPS. Disney Imagineering has blown our minds on MULTIPLE occasions with attractions like Rise of the Resistance in Hollywood Studios and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT. But what if we could only choose the three that are practically perfect in every way?
Did you know that Disney is currently celebrating World Princess Week?
Jasmine and Genie
This event takes place from August 20th to 26th this year and celebrates the history of Disney Princesses with special merchandise, snacks, and more. We made our way over to EPCOT to try an interesting NEW treat that stars Princess Jasmine that was released in honor of the occasion, but is it something YOU should try? Come with us to find out!
