food IS a theme park
Hi, DFB friends, were you wondering what’s new at EPCOT? Wonder no more!
Spaceship Earth is a Beacon of Magic for the 50th Anniversary!
We’re here with news from EPCOT and what has changed in the park, so let’s jump in!
Part of EPCOT’s Transformation included the re-imagining of Future World into three new, distinct neighborhoods: World Discovery, World Celebration, and World Nature. These three sections would join World Showcase as the four themed areas of EPCOT!

Earlier this week, we learned that these three neighborhoods would officially debut in time for the start of the 50th Anniversary Celebration — as well as EPCOT’s 39th Anniversary. Today is the day, and the days of referring to “Future World” when describing the front half of EPCOT are behind us!
The day has finally arrived!
We can’t wait!
Space 220 has FINALLY opened its doors (or should we say elevator?) to the public in EPCOT! It seems like we’ve been waiting to hear about the opening day for this new restaurant for lightyears. Ok, maybe that’s a little bit of an exaggeration. But it has been a while. After all, we first found out about this innovative space-themed restaurant back in 2017! The restaurant was supposed to open some time ago, but met with delays. Since then we’ve been gathering all the news we could as we waited for more. And now, SPACE 220 HAS ARRIVED! Here’s what you need to know.
Space 220 is a long-anticipated, futuristic restaurant that’s opening in EPCOT on September 20th, 2021.

We’ve seen the concept art for Space 220, and all the information about the restaurant’s menus came out just a couple of days ago. Today in EPCOT, we noticed another detail that proves its opening is just around the corner! [Read more…]
A lot has been going on in EPCOT these days! Previews have begun for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and La Crêperie de Paris, and we’re anxiously awaiting the debut of Harmonious, scheduled to take place on October 1st!

Today, however, we’re hanging out in Future World to celebrate the opening of the reimagined Club Cool! This fan-favorite spot in EPCOT closed back in 2019 as work began on the park’s massive transformation. But now, a revitalized version of Club Cool has opened and we’re sharing ALL the details you need to know!
There are quite a few new things coming to EPCOT as part of the park’s big transformation.

Soon, EPCOT will have an all-new fireworks show (Harmonious), a new Ratatouille attraction, a new creperie restaurant, and more. But before all of that, EPCOT’s new space-themed restaurant, Space 220, will finally open up for guests to enjoy! We know that the restaurant will be opening up in September, and we JUST found out what will be on the menu, but when will you be able to make reservations? We’ve got all the details right here!
One of the biggest burning questions of 2021 is when will Disney World open TRON Lightcycle Run and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind?
Cinderella Castle is getting ready for the 50th anniversary
Both BIG, FAST rides were originally projected to open with Disney World’s 50th anniversary, and Disney has yet to officially confirm whether their opening dates will be delayed. We’ve been keeping a close eye on the progress for these rides, and we’re here discussing everything we know as of now and how that may or may not impact these rides from opening on time.
We’ve been curious about the construction walls in EPCOT for a while now!
Construction Walls in EPCOT
Well, really we’re more curious about what’s going on behind those walls…but we’ve also noticed that they’re starting a color trend in the park! Now, there’s more around EPCOT that’s keeping that trend going! [Read more…]
It’s really not a secret that one of our favorite parts of Disney World is the food! Every park, hotel, and Disney Springs have some amazing eats and unique restaurants.
