food IS a theme park
The 2020 Epcot Festival of the Arts is packing SO MUCH creativity into one festival!

And, although we’ve taken you with us to check out ALL the booths and FOOD in the park, we had to tell ya about another drink that is perfect for some sipping and strolling around the World Showcase.
‘Tis the season for warm drinks by the fire!
Epcot Festival of the Holidays
And, we’ve been taking you LIVE with us as we’ve tried different sips from around the World Showcase at the Epcot International Festival of the Holidays! Now, we’re taking a trip to the UK for a traditional Christmas drink.
Welcome to our weekly roundup of What’s New at Epcot!
Let’s Go To Epcot!
Of course, Epcot is ALL THE TALK today since the MENUS have been released for the 2019 Epcot Food and Wine Festival! [Read more…]
If you’ve ever visited Epcot, you likely know about Rose & Crown Pub and Dining Room, a truly charming and beloved spot located in the UK Pavilion. It’s always good to pop in for some delicious Bangers and Mash, some classic Fish & Chips, or the Battered Banger and Chips.
Rose and Crown Outdoor Bar
But what you might not know is that Rose & Crown has an outdoor bar where you can find a few of the drinks that are served inside as well (an added bonus — it often has a much shorter wait!), along with some House-made Crisps for a snack. But aside from those Crisps, there really isn’t much in the way of food here. But today…
Summer is definitely upon us and we’re always looking for ways to beat the heat. While we have our favorite frozen drinks like Pongu Pongu’s Night Blossom, we’ve been on the lookout for something new!
Pimm’s Frozen Lemonade
Today was our lucky day because we spotted the new Frozen Pimm’s Lemonade in Epcot’s UK Pavilion!
We had a case of wanderlust this week, and instead of getting out the passport and packing, we just hopped over to spend the day in Epcot. Our journey started with some time spent in Future World, followed by a trip around the World Showcase. And boy, did we find a lot new eats and buys for you on this “trip”!

AJ’s Note: If you’re concerned about the chips vs. crisps situation in this review, please see my note in the comments. Love you!
Do you know what the Rose & Crown Beer Stand in Epcot’s United Kingdom serves?
Okay, you got me… BEER! 😉 But guess what else it just started serving up recently? Potato Chips.
But not just any old potato chips… we’re talking about Disney House-made Chips! You may already be familiar with these goodies that are often served as a side for dishes like the Anchors Aweigh and Lighthouse Sandwiches at Columbia Harbour House, and the Lobster Club Sandwich at The Artist’s Palette.
That’s just a small sampling, of course. You can find House-made Chips in several locations around Disney World, but often solely as a side to an entree and rarely sold separately on the menu (though you can probably ask for them as a separately served side). No matter where you find them, the fresh quality and natural flavor often help the chips stand out as much as the entree they’re served alongside. So it was great to see these available at the Rose & Crown Beer Stand in TWO flavor options: Original and Salt & Vinegar.
You’ll receive a bag like this for $4.25 out of pocket or as a snack credit on the Disney Dining Plan…
Bag of Salt & Vinegar Chips
I grabbed the Salt & Vinegar because the flavor is unique to this location… and I was in the United Kingdom, after all! [Read more…]
