food IS a theme park
Remember when we told you that automated PhotoPass cameras are now in use at Mickey and Minnie’s meet-and-greet in Magic Kingdom?

Well, based on what we saw in Epcot today, it looks like those cameras may be on their way to other meet-and-greets around the Disney World theme parks.
Some things are worth melting for…
Frozen Arendelle Aqua Lemonade
But, this Frozen slush (inspired by the new Arendelle Aqua color trend) is a cold drink you don’t want to miss out on in Disney World! While we’ve already seen the Arendelle Aqua Victoria Spongecake, the Pearl Cupcake, and the cotton candy-flavored Lemonade, this new drink found in Epcot’s Norway Pavilion is giving us more chills than Elsa‘s ice palace!
Welcome to our latest roundup of What’s New in Epcot!
Future World
We have a LOT to cover today, including tons of merchandise and new Food and Wine Festival booths!

Hey there! Big summer blowout in Epcot’s Norway! Don’t worry, though — you can wear this merch ANY time of the year.
Norway in the World Showcase
Oaken must be clearing out his Trading Post next to the Frozen Ever After Ride! An entirely new stock of items has blown into the Norway Pavilion. You can tell Princess Anna that we would definitely kiss a troll to get our hands on some of these pieces!!

There’s yet another new treat at Kringla Bakeri og Kafe in Epcot’s Norway Pavilion.
Salted Pecan Triple Chocolate Chip Cookie
And this one’s a mouthful… it’s the Salted Pecan Triple Chocolate Chip Cookie! And you can even add on — as the sign in the bakery case says — “served warm.” 😉 [Read more…]
Epcot’s Kringla Bakeri og Kafe tucked in the Norway Pavilion is known for classic Scandanavian offerings like Lefse and iconic treats like School Bread. Though the spot underwent a lengthy refurbishment last year, it returned with many of its tried-and-true favorites.

So it’s always a bit of a surprise to find something new here, especially the so-colorful-you-can’t-help-but-notice-it Lemon Cheesecake! [Read more…]
Epcot is busy with the International Festival of the Arts starting this Friday — we’ll be reporting live from opening day — but we still found new must-have food-themed merchandise being added to the shops as well as new drinks, sweet eats, teas, and construction progress — we’ve got it all covered!
Hello from Epcot
Let’s jump in with that brand new space-themed restaurant near Mission: Space opening in 2020!
Ever since Epcot’s Kringla Bakeri og Kafe reopened in August 2018, we’ve been keeping an eye on the pastry case to see what old favorites returned and what new treats await. Just a few days ago, we told you that Troll Horns (finally!) made a comeback! And just yesterday we let you know about the Troll Kreme Spiked Slush that’s perfect for fortifying the spirit before jumping in line for Frozen Ever After.

And now we’re bringing you a sweet treat that’s reindeer approved (because, after all, reindeer are better than people). It’s Sven’s Apple Cheesecake, and it’s lovely in its simplicity.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
