food IS a theme park
Hey, Disney friends! We’re back with another DFB Video today, and we’re going to give you some insight into the best and worst things about Disney World!
Toy Story Mania
While you can make any Disney trip magical, there are parts of the parks that go to infinity and beyond and others that fall short completely.
Whew! After basically 4 hours of mega-meal, we’ve finally wrapped up our first foray into Takumi-Tei in Epcot’s Japan!
Takumi-Tei Cast Members — Service was GREAT!
Earlier today we shared our first look at this beautiful space, and now we’ve got the FULL REVIEW for you!
Takumi-Tei Decor
Let’s head inside!
Have you ever visited the semi-hidden bakery known as Les Halles in the France Pavilion at Epcot? Well, if you haven’t you should really check it out on your next Disney vacay.
Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie in Epcot’s France Pavilion
Here, you will find delicious pastries, sandwiches, and so much more. It’s a great spot to grab a quick and unique bite before continuing your travels around the world. But every once in a while, something BRAND NEW pops up quietly on the menu, and you know we’re all over it!!
Today, we noticed that a Summer Slush ($12.oo) had been added to the menu!
AAAAAH! It’s HERE! One of the highly anticipated NEW restaurants in Epcot is finally soft opening and we can’t WAIT to bring you inside! Ready to head into Takumi-Tei? Let’s go!
Takumi-Tei Restaurant Menu
The newest, signature restaurant in the Japan pavilion is soft opening for the first time today, and we couldn’t wait to report for you.

Takumi-Tei, which means “House of the Artisan,” is a signature restaurant. In Disney-speak, that translates to a high-end, two-credit option on the Disney Dining Plan…and a date night must-do for sure!
Takumi-Tei Front Entrance
As is the case with many Japanese restaurants, the atmosphere and experience of the architecture and decor is as much a part of the meal as the food. In speaking with the manager, we found that that the entrance way at Takumi-Tei represents a passageway between Epcot and Japan.
Happy Fourth of July! Are you ready to indulge???
Happy 4th of July From Magic Kingdom!
If you’ve been keeping up with Disney Food Blog, you’ve likely heard about many of the American-themed treats around Disney World. Today, we want to tell you about the brand-new Berry Shortcake from Epcot’s Sunshine Seasons!
We have seen a bunch of Fourth of July cupcakes this week…like the Apple Pie Cupcake from Restaurantosaurus and the Cherry Pie Cupcake from Roaring Fork!
Epcot Fourth of July Cupcake
And now another Fourth of July cupcake has hit the scene and this time it’s at Epcot.
Joffrey’s
is a good bet for coffee in the Disney Parks, but more often than not, we’re stopping by these coffee stands to see what they’ve got for snacks. And the Joffrey’s stand near Pin Traders in Epcot’s World Showcase is bringing it today!
Peanut Butter Brownie
Yes, by it we mean an ooey-gooey Peanut Butter Brownie. [Read more…]
We’ve been keeping up with the construction progress of Takumi-Tei, that BRAND NEW signature dining experience coming to Epcot’s Japan Pavilion this summer!

And today we spotted some extra signage pop up in front of the building that we wanted to share!
Epcot’s nighttime spectacular IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth will take to the sky for the last time on September 30th.
IllumiNations
And as we know, to commemorate the nighttime spectacular we all grew up with, Disney has started selling Farewell IllumiNations merchandise! We’ve already shared many of the t-shirts, MagicBands, and pins with you guys. But, today we’re going to share something even MORE spectacular — the Farewell IllumiNations Light-Up EARS!!!
Annnnnnd we’re back! Today, we have already shared that Epcot’s Character Spot is set to close temporarily on September 8th. (Don’t worry — you’ll still be able to see your friends in new Epcot spots!)
Welcome to Epcot!
We have also shared Disney’s plans for the closure of Electric Umbrella this winter. But now we are going to dive into even MORE closure and relocation announcements.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
