food IS a theme park
As Halloween activities have taken over Disney World, the parks have been getting busier and busier.

And that means that Halloween park passes have also been going fast for pretty much everyone!
There are a few attractions coming to EPCOT that we’re excited about, but the most imminent is Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure!

This France Pavilion attraction was originally supposed to open in Summer 2020 but was pushed back due to the global health crisis. Now, the opening is unknown but it looks like Imagineers are applying finishing touches to the exterior theming elements!
Oh, EPCOT… How do we love thee? Let us count the ways.
Spaceship Earth
We love thee for all the staples (Spaceship Earth, festivals) and for all of the NEW things. And hey, let’s see what IS new in jolly ol’ EPCOT!
A lot changed after Disney World reopened this summer. We’ve seen several BIG events get canceled, while others, such as EPCOT’s International Food and Wine Festival, have been altered to account for new health and safety guidelines.
Christmas Tree in Epcot
We recently learned that EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays is still very much a GO but, like the Food and Wine Fest, it’s going to be different from previous years. Don’t worry, though — the Holiday Cookie Stroll is still on! Whew! We shared a lot of new information regarding the Festival of the Holidays today, and some of it was pretty unexpected. Here’s what you might have missed…
Just over a year ago we first discovered our sweet, gooey, beloved Werther’s Original Caramel made fresh daily at Karamell-Küche in EPCOT’s German had gotten an adult twist. Boozy caramels were born.
Karamell-Küche
We laughed. We cried. We ate a lot of caramel that day. It was a glorious day. Well, friends, the caramel-scented angels over there have worked their magic once again and given us a REMIX of the boozy caramel flight. Now we can chew our booze in four all NEW flavors! 😉
Oh…you thought we were done with all the exciting Festival of the Holidays news?! Well, we weren’t!!
Epcot’s Festival of the Holidays
We have already shared details on ALL the booths, we’ve announced the return of the Cookie Stroll, AND we shared the mega exciting details about the new Olaf Scavenger Hunt. Now, we’re back with a few entertainment details.
We’ve loved seeing our favorite characters ride (or in poor Elsa’s case…WALK by herself!) around World Showcase in EPCOT.
Elsa in EPCOT. Someone Give This Girl a RIDE!
While we didn’t see a Halloween themed Promenade make its way around World Showcase, we now know what festive character experiences we’ll see this Holiday Season!
It may still be Halloween time but Disney World is fully starting to shift its eyes to Christmas.

We know the International Festival of the Holidays in EPCOT will be returning this year — without the beloved Candlelight Processional — and now we know another favorite that WILL be returning: the Cookie Stroll!
We tend to have a delightful time whenever we step into EPCOT, and sometimes that makes us want some EPCOT merchandise.
Spaceship Earth
Recently, we’ve seen TONS of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival merchandise, but now we have a chance to grab a general EPCOT souvenir that is super cute. Plus, it’ll help us get that caffeine fix!
Holiday snacks and merchandise are starting to pop up in the Disney parks, and you know what that means — the festive season is coming!
Holiday Bag
We have spotted SO MUCH HOLIDAY MERCH recently! But one item seems to have come a long way to celebrate the holidays at Disney World!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
