food IS a theme park
Nine Dragons Restaurant in EPCOT’s China Pavilion is a table-service restaurant known for its wide range of Chinese cuisine, with Cantonese, Mongolian, Szechuan, Hunan, and Kiangche-style dishes all being offered here.

We recently stopped by to try a new 50th Anniversary dessert that’s based on a trendy boba tea drink!
Each week, we take a look at the biggest Disney news revealed during the past few days, and this week has been a HUGE one for Disney news!
We’re Walkin’ Right Down the Middle of Main Street, U.S.A.
We’ve got massive updates about Annual Passes at both Disney World and Disneyland, all kinds of details about the Star Wars hotel coming to Disney World, tons of reopening news, and so much more. So, what are we waiting for?! Let’s dive in!
We’re back with another look at what’s new in EPCOT!
We’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day!
As the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival continues, construction slowly drags on. Recently, DVC members received some exciting information about Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, too! But what else is new in EPCOT? Come with us and take a look at the newest updates we found this week!
We’re heading into the World Showcase at EPCOT today to try out the newly reopened Nine Dragons Restaurant!

Despite being the main sit-down dining option in the China Pavilion, Nine Dragons is a lesser-known dining spot in EPCOT. Now that it’s back open, we’re checking out the food to see if you should take time out of your EPCOT day for a meal here or just wait to get your Chinese Food fix with takeout at home!

Nine Dragons reopened in EPCOT today, and we stopped by and checked it out!
EPCOT is an amazing park for food, even as many restaurants remain closed in the park.

Luckily, EPCOT is home to festivals that go almost year-round and rarely leave us wanting more when it comes to food. Right now we’re chowing down at the foodiest festival of all during our visits, the 2021 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival! But we still miss those spots that aren’t opening until October. Well, good news! It looks like a World Showcase table service spot could return soon.
It may be hard to believe, but it has been a FULL year since the Disney World theme parks reopened following its four-month-long closure in 2020 [when this post was originally published]. It’s a unique anniversary many of us wouldn’t have predicted being faced with just a few years ago, but here we are!
Cinderella Castle
Since then, a lot has changed — health and safety policies have been updated drastically to make face masks optional for most guests and Cast Members in many locations, and most social distancing measurements have also been lifted. For all of the things that HAVE returned to Disney World since the parks reopened, there are also a number of things that have STILL not come back.
When it comes to spicy food, most of us understand that there’s REAL spicy and…then there’s Disney spicy.
HOT!
And of course, Disney’s version of spicy food is usually tamed down to appeal more to the masses. But there are still some places at Disney World where you can get the real deal — the kind of food that will have steam coming out of your ears and make you break out into a sweat.
Greetings from Disney World’s work-in-progress park!
EPCOT
We visited EPCOT yesterday to check out all of the latest changes and updates after the end of the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. So, without further ado, here’s all the latest news in food, construction, and merchandise!
We spotted a discount in EPCOT today!
China Pavilion
Since the International Festival of the Arts ended yesterday, we took a trip to the park today to check out some unique merchandise and try some snacks. And while we were in the China Pavilion’s House of Good Fortune buying wasabi chips, we noticed a discount on our receipt!
