food IS a theme park
One of our favorite spots to get a sweet treat in EPCOT is tucked back in the France Pavilion over in World Showcase.
L’Artisan Des Glaces
L’Artisan Des Glaces is a great place to grab some ice cream or sorbet on a warm day, but you can also grab macarons and their iconic Croque Glacés as well. Now that spring is upon us, there are some returning seasonal flavors that just arrived on the menu, and you know we had to check them out!
The mayor of a metropolis in the French Riviera is looking to ban massive cruise ships from porting along its coast.
Disney Treasure Cruise Ship
Mayor Christian Estrosi of Nice, France has developed plans to ban cruise ships from docking along the coast of the city. He aims to protect the environment and mitigate over-tourism within the area. While some people agree with the new decree, others hope it does not come to fruition.
Happy Halloween, DFB friends!
This is one of our favorite times of year to be in Disney World. The spooky — and ADORABLE — Halloween decorations are up in Magic Kingdom. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is underway (but completely sold out for the year). Spooky season is the BEST. But the BEST part of spooky season isn’t the decor and parties…oh, no, the best part is THE SNACKS (you knew we’d say that, didn’t you?). Now, even the crêpes in EPCOT are jumping on the Halloween train.
International travel is becoming widely popular again four years past the COVID-19 pandemic.
Castle of Magical Dreams at Hong Kong Disneyland
Disney has several international destinations including theme parks and cruise ports. Disneyland Paris, Tokyo Disney, Shanghai Disneyland, and Hong Kong Disneyland are all international theme parks you can visit, while you can cruise to The Bahamas at Castaway Cay or Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. But before you head to any of these international destinations, it’s important to do your research! We took a look at the latest travel advisories for each of the international Disney destinations, and we noted a few increased levels that we’re sharing with you.
Disney World restaurants are changing ALL the time.
EPCOT’s France Pavilion
New restaurants open, old restaurants close, and restaurants often get updated menus. We tend to track any and all changes when it comes to Disney World food. Now, this is the time of the year when we start seeing price increases affect nearly ALL Disney World restaurants, and it seems like it’s beginning now with two VERY popular dining spots in the France Pavili0n in EPCOT.
Whoever popularized the phrase “you can’t have your cake and eat it too” clearly never tried the crepes from the France pavilion in EPCOT at Disney World.
Our full meal!
There’s so much to explore in the France pavilion between a royal meet and greet with a Disney princess, some of our favorite dessert and quick service food spots, and one of EPCOT’s most popular rides. But, even with all of that, you can STILL want (and get) more than you ever thought possible! [Read more…]
EPCOT is known for being the place to go and drink around the world.
Spaceship Earth
With so many dining options and places to grab a drink, it can get overwhelming to decide where you want to go. We have the perfect suggestion for you. Did you know that there is actually a hidden champagne bar located inside the World Showcase at EPCOT?
No one is hiding this truth — Disney World can be expensive!
Spaceship Earth in EPCOT

Let’s talk about a very cheap lunch option in Disney World that could be a crowd-pleaser for your group!
It’s been a while since we’ve stopped for a quick snack in EPCOT that wasn’t a festival food offering.
EPCOT’s France Pavilion
While we’ve been trying all the food booths from the Festival of the Arts and envisioning covering our walls with the latest Disney-inspired artwork, we needed to take a moment to stop by one of our favorite snack spots for a quick bite to eat. And we’re sure glad we did! [Read more…]
EPCOT might just be our favorite Disney World park for one reason: the food!
EPCOT’s France Pavilion
Okay, you have some AMAZING table service restaurants like Le Cellier and Garden Grill. Then there is all the food at the seasonal festivals (and we’re currently enjoying eats from the EPCOT Festival of the Arts). EPCOT also has some great counter service locations, although we’ve got one that’s our favorite. Well, two of our favorite things to get for lunch just got…cheaper? You don’t hear that very often in Disney World!
