food IS a theme park
There are lots of sweet and savory treats you can find around World Showcase in EPCOT.
France Creperie
A fan-favorite spot has opened once again at the France Pavilion in EPCOT and we just had to stop by to see what changes have been made here.
Now introducing: the greatest taste test you never knew you needed — MAPLE SYRUP taste testing!!
While it’s not as extravagant as the maple popcorn milkshake, you can find this sweet tasting experience at the Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival inside of the World Showplace.
World ShowPlace
World Showplace is a big blue tent-like structure near the UK Pavilion in World Showcase. Since they are monitoring how many people are inside World Showplace at any one time, you may arrive and be asked to join a virtual queue. Once you’re inside, head over to the maple syrup booth featuring the unique and wonderful flavors from Burton’s Maplewood Farm!
After such a long time apart, it’s been a…JOY!…to see our favorite Disney characters back in the parks!
Mickey and Minnie in EPCOT
Whether it’s character cavalcades in Magic Kingdom, Chip and Dale on boats at Animal Kingdom, or waving at stormtroopers before you ride Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run in Hollywood Studios — seeing our old friends back in the parks has been a true silver lining! Recently, we saw two of our very favorites — Mary Poppins and Alice in Wonderland — are BACK greeting guests in EPCOT in a whole new way and we couldn’t wait to say hello!
Greetings from Day Three of EPCOT’s grand reopening!
Spaceship Earth
We’ve been exploring the newly reopened park all week! So far, we’ve ridden Test Track, Spaceship Earth, and Soarin’ in Future World in between frequent trips the World Showcase where a Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival is happening (and we have photos of EVERY FOOD ITEM FOR YOU HERE)!
Now that all four Disney World theme parks are open this weekend for the first time since the closures, you might be wondering if guests are complying with Disney World’s mandatory face mask rule.
Magic Kingdom
We’ve been very concerned with making sure our own masks have been nice and snug since the parks reopened — even doubling up our masks when entering more enclosed queue areas, the monorail, or indoor rides. But we’re getting lots of questions from readers about how the whole mask compliance thing is progressing — and how Disney World’s staff is addressing the issue when folks AREN’T following the rules!
We’ve been spending a lot of time at EPCOT lately checking out the 2020 Taste of Epcot International Food & Wine Festival! But in between all the eating and drinking, we love stopping by Mouse Gear to check out the latest merchandise!
Tucked away among the endless choices of fun collectibles and merchandise, we found some NEW T-SHIRTS we just had to share with you!
All four Disney World theme parks have finally reopened after their longest closure in history.
Magic Kingdom
We’ve spent the better part of the last two weeks exploring the parks to show you all the changes that have been implemented while guests were away. From seas of social distancing markers to newly installed plexiglass barriers and temperature screening checkpoints, there’s certainly been a lot of new ground-breaking procedures to cover!
We are BACK in EPCOT now that Disney World has started its phased reopening! One of the biggest differences when it comes to planning a 2020 vacation to Disney World is the new rule that states all guests above the age of two MUST wear a face mask.
Orange Bird Wearing a Mini Mask
This requirement has stirred up a lot of questions regarding the logistics of wearing a mask all day in the theme parks. Despite us having the experience of what it’s like to wear a mask all day, we still had some important questions when it came to visiting EPCOT. We’re talkin’ about logistics of EATING around World Showcase, especially with the 2020 Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival now in full swing!
After four months, EPCOT finally reopened today to guests!
Future World Construction
In addition to the launch of the Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival and ALL of the delicious food booths, there’s more new stuff to see at EPCOT. Oh yeah, baby, we’re talking merch!!
Greetings from A Taste of Food and Wine, the modified EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival for 2020!
a Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival
We’ve hopped around World Showcase to check out this year’s food and beverage offerings, including Food and Wine favorites from years past in Japan (with our beloved Frothy Ramen!) and some special items from Flower and Garden Festival! Today, we traveled over to the Brazil Booth to see what was cooking!
