food IS a theme park
We are headed to eat in Italy! Â
Italy Pavilion in EPCOT
And since we are DFB, you can probably already guess that means we are headed to the Italy Pavilion in EPCOT to dine our hearts out. Of course, we are taking you along with us, so let’s see where we are dining!
When you’re feeling festive in EPCOT, sometimes you just want to indulge in a few sweet treats that transport your mind into another country and out of Disney World for just a few minutes.
EPCOT
We’ve tasted some phenomenal treats around Disney World lately including a chocolate choux and flavored ice cream cones, but neither of those options was quite as fancy as what we had a craving for today!
Annual Passholders get lots of different perks in Disney World along with being able to visit the theme parks pretty much whenever they’d like.
Annual Pass Card
Some of these perks include dining and merchandise discounts at select stores and restaurants around the resort, and special free souvenirs every now and then, just to name a few. Sometimes these discounts change, and we need you to know that a popular restaurant in EPCOT is extending its higher AP discount through 2024!
Every once in a while, a new Disney souvenir comes along that takes the world by storm.
EPCOT
We’ve seen it happen with mugs, shirts, shoes, hats — you name it. But, one of the easiest ways to zhuzh up any outfit is by adding a Disney-inspired park bag into the mix. A new park bag phenomenon is roaring through Disney World, and we just spotted a NEW collection in the Italy Pavilion in EPCOT!
Watching the shows at Disney World can be an unforgettable experience — for better or worse.
Spaceship Earth
While Disney World has a lot of new things planned for 2024, it is also bringing back new-ish shows and events. One of those returning shows is Luminous The Symphony of Us, which debuted in EPCOT on December 5th, 2023. The show is held in World Showcase Lagoon and, with that, presents an interesting challenge in viewing.
EPCOT has been full of excitement lately!
Monorail
Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana has opened early, a new Frozen treat has made its way to the Norway pavilion, and Disney shared tons of news about the upcoming Festival of the Holidays! Amidst all of these updates, the park has been BUSY for the holiday weekend. Fortunately, there is a new way for all of these visitors to celebrate while they make their way around the World Showcase!
Visiting EPCOT soon? You could be very lucky!
EPCOT
Not only is the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival going on right now (which brings some delicious dishes to the park), but we recently saw that a special EPCOT restaurant has reopened!
There’s one EPCOT restaurant that’s surprisingly hard to get into…and it’s not even a signature dining experience!
Via Napoli
Yep, we’re talking about Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria in the Italy Pavilion. If you’ve ever tried to dine here, you know that reservations go FAST. But there’s a very good reason why — because people usually RAVE about the food, especially the pizza! So today, we’re sharing the two best things you can order at Via Napoli.
It’s been an incredibly hot summer at Disney World, but we just tried a few NEW treats that will help you cool off!
Italy Pavilion
EPCOT has been busy gearing up for the 2023 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, which is getting ready to kick off SOON! One of the countries in the World Showcase has also been busy working on some boozy new menu items. We recently had a chance to try out a few of the latest treats to help you decide if they may be worth the splurge. [Read more…]
If there’s one Disney World park that’s the KING of unique souvenirs, it would have to be EPCOT!
EPCOT at Disney World
Just walk through the World Showcase alone and you’ll be able to find interesting snacks, clothes from around the world, and gadgets and gizmos aplenty! Each country pavilion tends to have its own merchandise that it’s known for, and usually, those items are pretty exclusive to that particular pavilion. However, we recently spotted one popular EPCOT souvenir at a Disney World hotel!
