food IS a theme park
From jewelry to backpacks and even scrunchies, there’s no shortage of merch for Toy Story fans.
It’s Ducky!
And today, we spotted one of our absolute FAVORITE, hard-to-get Toy Story items at EPCOT!
We’ve been exploring EPCOT today to see how the park is settling into its second week since reopening.

So far, we’ve already spotted a brand new pair of Sequined Classic Minnie Ears at Mouse Gear, but we also saw something else we HAVEN’T seen at the parks before!
We’ve made a special trip back to Mouse Gear at EPCOT today to see if any new Minnie Ears had arrived! If you recall, we hit a rainbow-colored jackpot last week when we discovered these gorgeous new Sparkly Minnie Ears with ACTUAL pieces of Mickey-shaped confetti and glitter inside of them!

And it looks like today ANOTHER sparkly new set of Minnie Ears have arrived! We knew our sequin senses were tinglin’ for a reason!
We’ve been spending a lot of time in EPCOT since the park reopened to guests just last week. From checking out the new Disney Character Cavalcades to eating and drinking our way around the 2020 Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival Food Booths, there’s been a lot going on!

And if you’re planning on exploring EPCOT yourself, then you may want to know that Traveler’s Café — the park’s temporary Starbucks location — is now reopen to help you fuel up with some coffee before taking it all in! [Read more…]
What’s the MOST anticipated restaurant opening in Disney World? We bet we know what you’re going to say.

Space 220 is the upcoming space-themed restaurant that should open in EPCOT…someday. Now, this restaurant has been a LONG time coming. Space 220 was announced way back in July of 2017. It was supposed to open this past Winter but apparently ran into a bit of a rocky patch. Even with EPCOT now reopened, Space 220 is still closed — so what gives?!
The “opening summer 2020” might have come down recently, but one thing’s for sure — while future plans for Spaceship Earth’s refurbishment and the new Mary Poppins attraction have been put on hold, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure will be opening someday — hopefully soon!

In fact, we’ve watched the exterior for brand new attraction take shape at the World Showcase’s France pavilion from the aerial vantage point of Disney’s Skyliner for some time, but now we’ve found a special way to see what’s INSIDE!
Yes, you absolutely read that title right! We’re talking about bathrooms. Restrooms. Loos. Potties.
Restrooms in Animal Kingdom
Although you might encounter some lines every so often (it is Disney, after all), there are still spots around the parks that are both quiet AND wonderfully Imagineered! We feel it’s our duty to get down and dirty and share the secrets of the BEST bathrooms in Disney World.
It’s been quite the past few weeks as we’ve headed back to Disney World to check out all the Character Cavalcades, reopened restaurants in the parks, and what the crowds have looked like during the reopenings!

The Disney Parks have also reopened with new health and safety guidelines. Along with temperature checks and distancing measures, Disney World is also putting mask requirements in place for guests and Cast Members.
Now that EPCOT has officially reopened, we’ve been checking out the park to see what’s new!

Upon reopening, the park also kicked off A Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival! Of course, we visited all the booths to see what they’re serving up this year! But let’s take a look at what ELSE is new in EPCOT!
The 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival is officially here!

Whether you’re snacking on some mac and cheese or sipping on a frozen drink, there are lots of ways to enjoy this festival. Some of EPCOT’s own residents are even celebrating the occasion in their own special way!
