food IS a theme park
Another EPCOT festival will be here before we know it!
Festival days are BIG here at DFB!
We’ve been enjoying the current Flower and Garden Festival, from the tasty eats to the fun activities to — of course — the flowers. But EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival is coming up soon, and we’re getting excited. This event kicks off on July 14th, and if you’re visiting, you’ll want to be prepared. Since it can get pretty pricey, we’ve got some tips on budgeting for ya right here!
We are at EPCOT and doing ALL the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival things!
Flowers!
That means we’re checking out the entertainment, as well as checking out the pretty gardens and topiaries. But mostly — because you know us — we’re digging into all the food! [Read more…]
One thing we love about Disney World is that it’s always full of surprises, especially when it comes to food and drinks!
Mimosa from Hollywood Scoops
We’ve had cupcakes that have surprised us, along with nachos, cookies, and drinks! But today’s big surprise was heading to one of our favorite ice cream shops at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and NOT getting ice cream, but ordering up morning cocktails instead! Say what?
‘Tis the season for PEPPERMINT.
Peppermint Churro!
And, at Disney World, it’s always the season for churros. Combine the two flavors and you’re in for a real treat! Sunshine Churros in Disney Springs is known for creating holiday flavors that we absolutely love. They’re back at it again with a white chocolate peppermint churro that has us celebrating the season!
We’re basically cookie connoisseurs here at DFB. Remember when we brought you an epic comparison of the Hollywood Studios Wookiee Cookie vs the Carrot Cake Cookie?!
Trolley Car Cafe
Well that Carrot Cake Cookie has some NEW competition. We’re pitting Hollywood Studios’ famed Carrot Cake Cookie vs. the new holiday Red Velvet Whoopie Pie! Let’s get ready to rumble!!!
We are always on the lookout for new menu items at Disney World, and when we come across them, we do the hard work of trying everything so you don’t have to!
Three NEW Menu Items at Rosie’s All-American Cafe
And we just noticed some new additions to the menu at Rosie’s All-American Cafe at Hollywood Studios, including a brand new vegan option!
Oh, EPCOT Food and Wine Festival — so much food, yet so little time. But we’re doing our best to try and eat everything!
Festival Favorites
This includes brand new menu items as well as some old favorites. And today, one of our favorites from MANY years has returned to the Food & Wine Festival!

San Angel Inn is one of those restaurants where the MAIN draw is the atmosphere. It’s all about location, baby, and this restaurant is INSIDE the big pyramid in EPCOT’s Mexico Pavilion where it feels like you’re actually dining alongside a lazy river on the bank of a river with a volcano in the distance!
San Angel Inn
This isn’t your typical tex-mex chain style food. It’s going for a more authentic take on Mexican cuisine and the result can be….hit or miss. Some things are REALLY good, while others haven’t wowed us. The inconsistency of the food has turned us off from this spot for a while, but the lure of a Disney water scented restaurant (if you know, you KNOW) called us back. How does the food compare now to the last time we were here? We decided to revisit San Angel Inn and see what’s up.
Disney World has really been upping its churro game recently, and one spot we can always count on for some new and exciting flavors is Sunshine Churros at Disney Springs.
Sunshine Churros
And Sunshine Churros added three new flavors today, including one we have been eagerly waiting for the return of!
It’s time to think about planning for Epcot’s International Food and Wine Festival, and if you’re like a lot of Walt Disney World guests, you’re trying to decide if you want to brave the crowds in order to graze the grub. We get it: Food and Wine isn’t for everyone.
2017 Epcot Food and Wine
If you love swimming upstream (both ways) in a sea of human beings, we have good news! Food and Wine draws huge crowds to Epcot’s World Showcase (in particular) and the rest of the park. This can create an energetic and festive atmosphere that’s tailor made for those who thrive on being around other like-minded foodies and celebrants.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
