food IS a theme park
There are quite a few hidden secrets in Disney World.
Spaceship Earth
From tunnels underneath Cinderella Castle to shortcuts around the resorts, we’ve uncovered quite a few fun details in Disney World over the years. But one of the best hidden secrets is tucked away in EPCOT!
Yes, we’re about to tell you ALL OVER AGAIN how much we love Karamell-Küche in the Germany Pavilion in EPCOT.
Karamell- Kuche
Seriously, though, if you’ve followed us for a while, you know that some of our favorite Disney World treats come from this candy shop. We literally CHEERED when the Gingerbread Salted Caramel Buttercream Cookie Sandwich made its glorious return recently. The Werthers Caramel Popcorn here ALWAYS slaps. And the Caramel Butter Bar is one of our all-time favorite snacks to eat. So let’s talk about that Butter Bar, Karamell-Küche just offered a new version of it…and y’all, we might have to admit it’s EVEN BETTER (if that’s even possible).
It’s a well-known fact that EPCOT is home to some of the best snacks in all of Disney World.
EPCOT
There are so many fantastic table service restaurants to experience AND great quick service restaurants. And when there’s a festival going on, like how EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival is happening right now? Oh, there are so many fantastic options. But we have to say — we recommend this one snack above almost all others because it NEVER disappoints us.
Are there rough seas ahead for the Disney Cruise Line’s expansion?

Last month at D23: The Ultimate Fan Event, Disney announced an order of four new ships for the Disney Cruise Line which, combined with several ships already under construction, will put the company’s fleet at 13 ships by 2031. However, major issues with Disney’s contracted shipbuilder may put a dent in the company’s plans.Â
The EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival has officially started!
Food and Wine Festival
EPCOT was festival-less all summer, so we were super excited to have one of our favorite festivals back! We have been covering the Food and Wine Festival for 15 years, and we have learned a thing or two during that time. Each year, we try so many different dishes that you would think we lose track of our favorites, but trust us, we dream about some of the dishes we try at the Food and Wine Festival.Â
It’s no secret that we have our favorite Disney World snacks here at DFB.
We still love those Corn Dog Nuggets (even if they have been renamed) at Casey’s Corner in Magic Kingdom. We will NEVER not tell you how amazing the Carrot Cake Cookie is at Trolley Car Cafe in Hollywood Studios. We always pick up some Zebra Domes from Animal Kingdom Lodge when we’re there. Well, now a favorite EPCOT snack has returned and we have been joyously reunited with it!
Wait, so we can eat a bunch of cheese-filled dishes AND win a prize at the end of the cheesy food crawl at the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival? SIGN US UP!
Emile’s Fromage Montage
The 2024 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival has officially started, and there’s so much to do! There are tons of tasty eats to try, souvenirs to purchase and even concerts to watch. But one of our favorite parts about this festival is Emile’s Fromage Montage, or — as we call it –the cheese crawl. Come check it out!
If you’re heading to EPCOT, you’ll have a LOT of snack stands to choose from!
EPCOT
There are treats to be tried in every World Showcase pavilion, plus the lands at the front of the park, so how do you choose where to go? Well, recently I stopped by one of EPCOT’s slightly more hidden spots to try ALL the eats on the menu. Let’s head to Sommerfest!
The 2024 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival will officially begin on August 29th and run through November 23rd, and we’re already preparing our plan of attack!
EPCOT Food & Wine Festival 2023
Complete with outdoor food kitchens, the Eat to the Beat Concert Series, souvenirs, and much more, we look forward to this Disney World event all year. While we don’t have the full menus for the food booths just yet, we do know that four of our favorites will be returning — so let’s dig into the details!
There is a lair of scum and VILLAINY hidden in Disney World.
Germany Pavilion
Tucked away in the Germany pavilion at EPCOT is a teeny tiny train village, and in the past, we’ve shared its ridiculous antics. It seems that the miniature people of the village are prone to criminal activities and general shenanigans, and during a recent visit to the parks, we discovered even MORE tomfoolery!
