food IS a theme park
There’s a brand-new gelato cart coming to EPCOT’s Italy Pavilion!
Just another beautiful day in Disney!
Gelateria Toscana has officially opened, and we could NOT be more excited. We’ve been following the construction since the very beginning, and we’re finally trying the new spot out!
Earlier today, we told you that EPCOT’s new gelato spot officially has a name!
EPCOT
Disney also announced that Gelateria Toscana is opening in May (that’s next month, people) in EPCOT’s Italy Pavilion. We’ve been following the construction since the project was announced in 2019, and we are SO ready for an assortment of gelato, sorbetti, and tiramisù. And when we were walkin’ by the construction zone today, we noticed something HUGE!
EPCOT is undergoing a MAJOR transformation — and that means there will be some new eats!
EPCOT
In addition to new rides like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, we’re getting NEW restaurants like La Crêperie de Paris in the France Pavilion and Space 220 in Future World! And over in the Italy Pavilion, a new gelato spot is on the way…and we FINALLY have more details.
Hello world travelers! We’re back with another what’s new in EPCOT!
China Pavilion
We recently visited the park to give you the latest updates on food, merchandise, construction, and more, so follow along with us!
Disney World has a LOT of updates, refurbishments, and new projects in the works, and sometimes, it’s hard to keep track of them all!
Spaceship Earth
Sure, we’re all excited about all big upcoming attractions, like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, and TRON Lightcycle Run. And we can’t WAIT to see the interactive hotel/experience Star Wars Galactic Cruiser! But those are just a FEW of the projects underway at Disney World right now. So with those being so HUGE, it makes sense that some of the smaller projects get lost in the shuffle, although they’re still in progress.
Throughout 2020 and even some of 2021, a lot of Disney news was about park closures, and updates on restaurants and resorts that have remained closed or have delayed their re-openings.
France Pavilion Expansion
But, this week, the Disney news was a bit different. Instead of looking at the past or things that are closed, we got TONS of sneak peeks and info about things that will be OPENING in the future. Want to see the rooms at the Star Wars hotel? How about a look at Tom Holland’s role in the upcoming Avengers Campus? Or a walk inside the new Ratatouille area? We’ve got all that and more!
Love gelato? Well, soon there will be a brand new spot for you to sample all kinds of gelato flavors in EPCOT.
Italy Pavilion
Back in 2019, a NEW gelato cart was announced for EPCOT’s Italy pavilion. In 2020, we saw a building permit that might point to the cart’s construction and a possible name and we got a peek from the sky at its construction. But recently we got a look at the new gelato kiosk in person!
Greetings from EPCOT, where everywhere you turn right now…
2021 EPCOT Festival of the Arts
… you’ll find a work of ART! The 2021 EPCOT Festival of the Arts is one week old today, so we’re exploring all the sights (and tastes!) of EPCOT’s first Festival of the year. But we’ve also got some new eats, drinks, and fun merchandise finds, so let’s hop right in! [Read more…]
EPCOT has been busy all weekend long with guests heading to the parks for Christmas entertainment (and probably to melt over the two new Karamell-Küche cookies and returning Frozen 2 Sipper).
Frozen 2 Sipper
Although the park is a HOT spot for construction right now, we’re narrowing our focus over to the Italy Pavilion! After construction walls popped up in the area, we’ve seen permits filed by the Pantina Restaurant Group for the “La Gelateria” Gelato Cart. Last year, we got a hint of what was to come with the announcement that the cart would have 12 different varieties of gelato and sorbet, including gluten-friendly and plant-based flavors.
