food IS a theme park
Even though we’ve been seriously enjoying ALL of the amazing snacks from the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, we can’t forget that there are several other spots to grab a meal or a special treat around EPCOT outside of the festival.
The Land Pavilion
So, today we resisted the temptation to eat our way around the world, and instead made our way over to The Land pavilion to see what new food we could find.

Shine Bar Social with new Outdoor Patio Walls
Indoor dining is still happening in and around Florida theme parks. That said, given the current global health crisis, many Disney guests prefer to sit outdoors.

No one’s slick as Gaston, no one rides horses like Gaston, no one reopens a restaurant like Gaston!
Gaston in Magic Kingdom
That’s right! A little while ago we spotted some signs that seemed to suggest Gaston’s Tavern in Magic Kingdom would be reopening soon. Then, we got some official confirmation that it would be opening on Friday, September 4th. So, of course, we made our way over there today to check it out!
Disney World has been open for almost two months now, but there are still a LOT of closed restaurants.
Gastons Tavern
Today, we got some super exciting news that several iconic Disney World restaurants will be reopening. Soon, we’ll be returning to Cinderella’s Royal Table in Magic Kingdom and Hollywood & Vine in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. But guess what — Disney also just announced the reopening dates for TWO fan-favorite quick service spots. Let’s take a look!

Capt. Cook’s Macaroni & Cheese
But if just cheesy sauce isn’t enough for you, there’s a new twist on mac and cheese available at Disney’s Beach Club Resort!
We’re standing next to the creepy-looking clown slide at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn which can only mean one thing…

We’ve spent some time in the reopened Disney World parks and we’re working hard to try to get answers to all of your big questions.
Plexiglass at Cash Registers
With contactless pay and Mobile Order being SO encouraged in a reopened Disney World, we’ve been getting a lot of questions about whether your cash will do you any good. These touchless methods are a big part of the measures to limit person-to-person contact, but CAN we still pay with cash if we NEED to or WANT to?
