Hello from EPCOT!
We decided to wander around the world (quite literally) and see what’s new since the last time we visited!
Waffles, TONS of cheese, escargot — we’ve had so much food from the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival!
But, as they say, all good things must come to an end.
If you’re looking for a unique snack in Disney World, EPCOT is a great place to start!
Of course, there are plenty of eats from around the world available at the Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. But the snacks don’t stop there! In the past, we’ve spotted several unique potato chip flavors like candy, tomato, and squid available at House of Good Fortune in the China Pavilion. And today, we found another interesting flavor to snack on!
Yesterday, we learned that a NEW Annual Passholder Pop-Up shop would be opening in the Germany Pavilion at EPCOT!
With the shop officially open to Annual Passholders, we were able to get a first look at what’s available! Spoiler: it’s a LOT! And not only is there a wide variety of exclusive items to purchase, but Annual Passholders can SAVE even MORE on items throughout the store!
We’re always on the lookout for new beverages at Disney World, and it’s our duty to try them all out!
Most recently, we’ve tried out several new beers at Disney World, including the Tsingtao Lager at the 2020 Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival’s China Booth, as well as several beers from the Festival’s Germany Booth.
Although crowds might be growing in Disney World, we’ve seen some wildly different wait times all around the theme parks!
There’s no FastPass or single rider during this time, and various ride queues have seen changes with distancing efforts, new sanitation measures, and more as guests return back to attractions. With such unprecedented efforts, the wait times have been fluctuating with variations between the posted wait time and how long riders have actually had to wait before boarding!
One of the BEST parts of going to EPCOT is eating and drinking your way around the world!
And we’re not just talking about snacking at the Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival or even eating at the restaurants at World Showcase, sometimes you find supremely cool international snacks at the pavilions’ gift shops!
Don’t you just love EPCOT? We know we sure do!
And we especially love to see all the NEW things at EPCOT since we last traveled around the world and into the future.
Pumpkin Fudge, Pumpkin Lattes, Pumpkin Mousse, and now…PUMPKIN CUPCAKES.
Sure, we’ve seen our share pumpkin cupcakes before, but this isn’t ANY old pumpkin cupcake. It’s a pumpkin cupcake that comes with a taste of creamy salted caramel delight. It’s a pumpkin cupcake we’ve been dreaming about since last fall. One Pumpkin Cupcake to Rule Them All. We’ve stalled long enough. Come look at the beauty, the glory, the grace of the salted caramel pumpkin cupcake from EPCOT.
There are LOTS of spots to grab a good drink and fun treats around EPCOT, but one of our favorites is La Cava del Tequila in the Mexico pavilion!
Whether you’re there for a drink with bug-filled salt rim (!) or just some guacamole, there are lots of delicious options available. And soon, a NEW drink will be joining the mix!
