food IS a theme park
Disney World has been open for a few months now with many different health and safety procedures.
Rose and Crown Distance Markers
The restaurants have spread out tables, masks and physical distancing are being enforced, and now something is missing from this EPCOT favorite!
Halloween may not be here yet, but we’re already stocking up on Christmas spirit jerseys and ornaments!

Now, the only question we have is how late will the parks be open when we visit during Christmastime? Disney is starting to give us a better idea of that now.
RED ALERT! Yesterday, we shared that another booth would be opening at the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival! So, of course we made our way to EPCOT to check it out.

But, when we arrived, it was not at all what we expected!
We’re sloooooooowly seeing the return of more and more of our favorite Disney World restaurants. We recently got to chow down for the reopening of Cinderella’s Royal Table in Magic Kingdom and Hollywood & Vine in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Chefs de France
Plus, did you know that ABC Commissary in Hollywood Studios opened TODAY!? And it’s not the only one. One of our FAVORITE Disney World table-service restaurants has strolled back onto the scene. Chefs de France is OPEN!
The 2020 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is a little bit different than the ones from past years.

No, we may not have the same great entertainment we’re used to, and yes, it is weird to do Food & Wine with all of the health procedures. But we CAN still visit OVER 20 Food & Wine Festival Booths around the World Showcase — and now another favorite booth is set to return!
Hello world travelers! We took a trip to EPCOT to see what’s been going on around the park!

Last time, we saw more construction walls and a few new food items! Let’s take a look at what’s new in food, construction, and merchandise!
If you’ve ever stepped inside the American Adventure Pavilion at EPCOT, chances are you’ve heard some lovely a capella singing from the Voices of Liberty.

This INSANELY talented group of singers is currently not performing at Disney, BUT they just released their second album online!
The 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival has been in full swing since Disney World’s reopening in July, and so much merchandise has been released. That’s a given, though, especially since this is the festival’s 25th anniversary.

We’ve spotted all kinds of new Food & Wine merch in the park, and now, tons of those items have found their way online.

This show has been on our minds for a WHILE and with the park closures, we’re not too sure when we’ll finally get to see it hit the waters of World Showcase Lagoon. So, it’s pretty exciting whenever we see a potential sign of work on the area of Harmonious — and we saw a sign today!
