food IS a theme park
We’ve had Halloween on our minds today, but now we suddenly have reason to think Christmas!
Christmas Tree in Epcot
We were busy eating our way through all of the Halloween snacks in Disney World when Disney decided to drop a MAJOR Christmas news bomb! There’s good news and bad news. Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is not returning this year but EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays is ON.
Currently, EPCOT is undergoing a grand and miraculous transformation.
Remy’s Ratatoutille Adventure Sign
One part of this transformation is the addition of a new section to the France pavilion that will be home to the Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure attraction, as well as a new crêperie called La Crêperie de Paris.
One of the best parts of exploring EPCOT is getting to check out all of the fun and unique merchandise from the different World Showcase pavilions.
Japan
The Japan pavilion is no exception there! Whether you’re looking for a dried crab snack or some skincare masks that will turn you into a cat, dog, or baby (what?!), there are all kinds of cool items in the Mitsukoshi Department Store in the Japan pavilion. Recently, we noticed that some of the spooky season spirit had spilled into this store and we spotted some cute characters dressed for Halloween!
As you might’ve heard, EPCOT’s France Pavilion is getting a pretty big upgrade!
France Construction
Not only is France going to see an entirely new Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure attraction, but the Pavilion will also see the addition of a new quick-service/table-service dining location. La Creperie de Paris is set to serve a selection of yummy crepes in what’s turning into an adorable setting. And now the new spot has a sign!
EPCOT has given us some amazing shows and spectaculars over the years. Yep, we still miss you Illuminations!

If you’ve been keeping an eye out for EPCOT merch lately, you’ve probably noticed that a series of RETRO limited-edition EPCOT posters has been slowly releasing online for some time now. These are the very same designs featured in the EPCOT Experience! Well, good news, another round of posters were released today and this time they’re ALL about World Celebration!
EPCOT has been full of fun surprises recently with so many goodies for the Food and Wine Festival!
Japan Pavilion
While we’ve been back in the Japan Pavilion to have Frothy Ramen and pick up some fabulous silk face masks (and even a few very strange skincare masks), you might be subbing out your regular ole’ Halloween candy for these new goodies in EPCOT!
If you’re headed to Walt Disney World soon, you may be wondering how long you’ll have to wait in line to ride some of your favorite attractions now that there is limited capacity in the parks and Park Pass reservations are required in order to enter.

We took a look at the wait times this week, and we’ve got a list of the 7 attractions with the shortest wait times from this week! Read through and let us know — how many did you guess??
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another edition of “What’s New at EPCOT!“

And, we’ve got plenty of merchandise, food, and construction updates to share with you, so let’s dive right on in!
Bonjour once again from EPCOT’s France pavilion! This is not our first visit to this lovely pavilion this week. We’ve been trying some of the new options recently added to the France Booth as part of the offerings for the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival.
Feuilleté d’Escargot à la Crème d’Ail et Persil: Escargot in Puff Pastry with Garlic and Parsley Cream Sauce
A few days ago, a new Escargot in Puff Pastry dish joined the booth’s offerings. While we really like the new item, it took the place of another that we quite enjoyed, as well: the Goat Cheese Tart. So it took us happily by surprise today when we found that the Goat Cheese Tart has not disappeared completely: it has simply moved! [Read more…]
From beer flights to escargot, we’ve tried SO MANY delicious items from the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival.

But, you can never have enough snack options at Disney. So, we were really excited to hear that more festival booths would be opening soon. Now, we’ve got some more details, that were shared to us by some Cast Members, on which new booths should be coming, and which booths will likely be limiting their operations.
