food IS a theme park
There’s no ifs, ands, or buts about it, planning a trip to Walt Disney World is a little bit confusing right now.
Magic Kingdom
There are a LOT of changes, from what rides are open and how they’re operating to how many people are in the park.
While there are some unexpected and new changes happening around Disney World, we have been thrilled to see so many projects pick construction back up now that the parks are open!
EPCOT
The pink Cinderella Castle just had its moat filled in, the Grand Floridian Walkway has continued to near its completion, and ALL the construction on EPCOT’s France Pavilion is charging full steam ahead!
Since EPCOT re-opened, you KNOW that means we’ve been visiting La Cava del Tequila at the Mexico Pavilion!
Teremana Blanco
While we’ve noticed multiple health and safety regulations in place around the pavilions already, Disney has continued to update what measures they’re taking to protect guests and Cast Members. Although EPCOT has instilled a new face mask policy and temperature checks, distancing markers and directional signs on the ground have been put in place to make sure that everyone is safely kept apart from one another.
If you’re looking for a unique souvenir in Disney World, EPCOT is a great place to start!
Spaceship Earth
We’ve spotted a TON of awesome new merchandise around World Showcase lately! Whether you’re interested in a Norway spirit jersey, France-inspired Minnie Ears, or adorable gelato-themed merch, there are so many great options to choose from!
Just about everybody and their Uncle is obsessed with EPCOT’s new pylons right now!

In case you’ve slept on the EPCOT news the week, three clear acrylic pylons were recently installed in front of Spaceship Earth as part of a new entryway fountain for World Celebration — one of three new distinct neighborhoods Future World is being divvied up into.
We’re back in Walt Disney World’s EPCOT!

Visiting an international Disney theme park is major life goals.
Shanghai Disneyland
Have you seen some of their snacks? Amazing!! The merchandise from the international parks and resorts is also awesome and some of it has even become available online. Now, we’ve spotted some merchandise celebrating Shanghai Disneyland in EPCOT!
The Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival at Walt Disney World has undergone a few changes due to the global health crisis. There are fewer booths than previous years and new merchandise releases have been delayed.
International Food and Wine Festival
Yesterday, we noted the Islands of the Caribbean food booth was closed at EPCOT. The shades were drawn and we had to forgo another delish serving of Flancocho. Today, we noticed something else on Disney World’s website regarding the closed booth. [Read more…]
