food IS a theme park
We’re super serious when we say that Living with the Land is one of our favorite rides in EPCOT.
Living with the Land
Can you blame us? It’s GREAT. We love looking at Mickey-shaped fruits and vegetables. Well, today, we noticed a change to how Living with the Land is handling the new health and safety measures — they’ve added some plexiglass dividers.
Greetings, World travelers. We’re at EPCOT today for its historic grand reopening. And who are we kidding…we’re also here to sample more items at the Food and Wine marketplace food booths scattered throughout the World Showcase.
Bonjour Remy!
So far, we’ve already shown you what crowd levels look like for the first day of the Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival, which is also making history today. It will be the longest-running EPCOT Food and Wine festival of all time, plus you’ll find parts of EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival patchworked in.
The Disney World theme parks are reopening…but WHAT can we RIDE?
Spaceship Earth
With everything from the new reservation system to new character experiences, things really are changing. Some things, however, ARE staying the same. We already heard that Spaceship Earth will be reopening as its refurbishment is on pause, but now we know ALL of the attractions we can expect to ride in Epcot!
Some of these attractions might not sound cool, but trust us, they’re worth considering next time you go to Disney World!
Behold: The PeopleMover
While we’re the first ones that will tell you about the hottest new show or attraction at Disney World, we also want to make sure you aren’t quick to write anything off! Some of our favorite rides and experiences are those under-the-radar offerings that, on paper, might sound a little boring! Trust us — you might find yourself falling in love with some of these next time you visit!
Greetings from Epcot!
Spaceship Earth
This park is an eating PARADISE! From Outdoor Kitchens at Epcot’s renowned festivals to fine dining at Epcot’s newest signature restaurant, Takumi-Tei, there is something to please any palette. And amidst all of this gourmet delicious-ness is a (somewhat) hidden character dining gem — Garden Grill!

We recently snagged an early reservation and headed in for a tasty breakfast with Chip, Dale, Mickey, and Pluto. Would it still stack up as one of our favorite character meals? Read on to find out!
There’s love (and Disney magic) in the air all around Epcot for Valentine’s Day!

And, while we’ve been strolling and sipping on the Pomegranate Margarita, we spotted the sweetest signs out for the holiday!
Happy weekend! We’ve been hard at work in the parks scoping out all the latest news for you! First, a few things to remember… .

We have a lot to share with you this week, so let’s jump right in…
We recently shared the news of the brand new holiday overlay at Epcot’s Living With The Land.
2019 Living with the Land Holiday Overlay
Living With The Land: Merry & Bright Nights brings the popular attraction to life in the evening with festive twinkling lights and stunning holiday decor.
Magic is in the air! The season officially kicks off at Epcot on November 29th with the return of the 2019 Epcot International Festival of the Holidays.
France Holiday Decorations
In addition to the global celebration, Epcot has received stunning holiday decor throughout the park including decking the halls in one unique location this year!
Walt Disney World’s Land Pavilion
is home to one of our go-to quick service spots in Epcot’s Future World — Sunshine Seasons — but upstairs from Living with the Land is one of my favorite underrated character meals: Garden Grill. It’s here, in a rotating restaurant, that diners meet Disney character friends, dine on some really great grub, and get a bird’s eye view of the attraction below. It’s truly one-of-a-kind.
Garden Grill
Remember, at Garden Grill, always ask for a booth versus a table. I just think they’re more fun, plus your view of the Livin’ With The Land attraction scenes below is much better with a booth!

Before we get into the food, let’s say hello to some friends. Garden Grill is home to Farmer Mickey who always looks sharp in his overalls and plaid!
