food IS a theme park
One of our favorite spots in Disney World is celebrating National Tequila Day with a special holiday offering!
La Cava del Tequila
There are TONS of awesome places in EPCOT to snag snacks and drinks. And even with some impressive competition, La Cava del Tequila still stands out as one of our favorites. If you’re looking for some yummy small bites or an incredible margarita, this cozy bar is definitely worth a stop!

As I entered the dining room, I passed by this display table holding various tequilas and other elements of our seminar. This table gives you a view-at-a-glance of everything we would discuss and experience during the lunch. This was clearly going to be fun!
