food IS a theme park
It’s finally time for the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts!
EPCOT Festival of the Arts
This artsy annual staple is back as of today, with delicious eats and enchanting art! Plus, there’s plenty of live entertainment to check out and we’re taking you on a tour!
It seems that crowds have lightened up at EPCOT this week!

We’re headed into the world of exotic countries, good food, and Frozen Ever After. On our grand tour, we spotted a returning drink and some fun merchandise in the Japan Pavilion. Come see what EPCOT looks like with no running festivals and light crowds!
The year of 2020 is finally coming to a close and holiday decor has begun its transition back to storage. While many may be feeling the post-Christmas blues, this is our time to focus on the future and celebrate the New Year!

We know that there are BIG things coming to Disney in 2021. The 50th anniversary is just around the corner and there is much to celebrate! Many of us are excited to put 2020 behind us and are looking forward to watching the clock countdown to midnight as we step into 2021. As you may know, Disney World is closing earlier than usual on New Years Eve this year. But a location close to Disney World will be celebrating 2021 past midnight.
The lobby of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort is currently decked out with festive holiday decor.

But the gigantic Christmas tree and gingerbread treats aren’t the only things that have recently returned to the resort. Now, guests can once again enjoy live music in the lobby!
Live entertainment is a huge part of the Walt Disney World experience!
JAMMitors
We’ve definitely missed some of our favorite stage shows the past few months (Come back to us, Festival of the Lion King!), but we’re thankful for the entertainment that we do have in the parks right now! Mariachi Cobre and the JAMMitors have been performing during the Food & Wine Festival, we’re getting lots of great entertainment options for the Festival of the Holidays, and For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration reopened just last month. To prepare for the plethora of holiday entertainment coming to EPCOT, the JAMMitors have moved to a new location in the park, and we spotted them performing there today!
Cirque du Soleil has been a staple in Disney Springs for many years.

Earlier this year we were supposed to see the debut of the brand new Cirque show, Drawn to Life, but it was unfortunately delayed due to the global health crisis. Now, one of the company’s most famous shows has closed in Las Vegas.
EPCOT is preparing to open to the public on July 15th and is kicking it all off with a modified version of the International Food and Wine Festival.

We’re tagging along with a friend at the Cast Members Preview and already getting a taste of what Food and Wine Festival has to offer this year. There have been some obvious changes like the reduced amount of booths and menu items. There have also been some additions like the Mac and Cheese booth and now a new digital guide with interactive features. [Read more…]
