food IS a theme park
Some souvenirs in Disney World can be made custom just for you!

These souvenirs can make extra special memories as you may be able to design your own or add your name to them. Many people will get their Mickey ear hats custom-embroidered for them. We’ve now spotted a new custom souvenir you can get in EPCOT!
Disney World has not been shy about price increases recently, with several restaurants seeing at least small increases to items on their menus. We’ve noticed these changes at Tokyo Dining, Riverside Mill Food Court, Kimonos, and more in just the last week.

Hello from the 2022 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts!
EPCOT Festival of the Arts 2022
If you’ve been keeping up with our LIVE updates, you’ll know we’ve been busy running around trying ALL of the new (and old!) favorites from the Fest. Right now we’re coming at you with a review for Goshiki in the Japan Pavilion! A sushi donut and more call this booth home. Should you stop by and give them a try?
One of the best parts about EPCOT is getting to visit 11 countries in one day (well, sort of)!
Norway Pavilion
The World Showcase features several pavilions that bring different cultures and cuisines to one place. And, even though there are many challenges Disney-goers try to conquer, like the 4 parks in one day challenge, one of the most popular is to eat and/or drink around the world! Today, we’re showing you how much it would cost to eat or drink around the world using different budgets and preferences!
Disney Springs is home to a host of unique restaurants and flavors from around the world. In addition to yummy bites, it’s also a great stop for happy hour.
Don’t you just want to kick back and enjoy this view?
Today, a Disney Springs kiosk announced that they’re bringing in a new drink to join their lineup.
Cheers to 5 years with Morimoto Asia at Disney Springs!

It seems like just yesterday when we tasted Morimoto’s spare ribs for the first time. The swanky Asian-fusion restaurant has supplied Disney guests with their fair share of dim sum and sake over the last 5 years. To celebrate, Morimoto is hosting a special (and not-so-secret) menu on Wednesday, September 30th!
WE’RE BACK at Takumi-Tei Restaurant in Epcot’s Japan to try out a top-tier, signature dining experience!
Takumi-Tei
When the restaurant first opened last year, we gave you a full review of the Omakase ( seven-course) and A La Carte Menus, but now we are back to see if the NINE courses on the Kaiseki Menu could be worth your Disney dimes. Find out if this is a signature dining experience you want to add to your Disney World vacation!

We’ve been giving you the details about this year’s festival as we’ve taken you LIVE around the World Showcase and other spots in the park. But, now we’re taking you to one of the cutest (or most kawaii in Japanese) booths open now through February 24th.
Epcot is home to the Festival of the Arts right now
, but that isn’t the only thing going on in this changing park.
Hello from Epcot World Showcase Construction
In addition to construction work in preparation for Illuminations’ replacement, we found new food, artistic face painting, character art, sakes, and merchandise!
Time to head to Disney Springs! We’ve enjoyed some quality meals in Walt Disney World recently. And tonight, we’re spending the evening at one of the resort’s more high profile spots — Morimoto Asia.
The Pan Asian restaurant numbered among the first new restaurants that opened as Downtown Disney became Disney Springs. We tried it on the very first day it opened and found some dishes that were truly noteworthy. But dining here is not for the budget seeker. It can get pricey, fast.
But it’s also worth noting that Morimoto Asia continues to surprise us with expanded and special offerings. Since it opened, they’ve introduced a Late Night Menu of special drinks and small plates. And the Dim Sum Brunch is one of Morimoto Asia’s greatest values, and something pretty unique in Walt Disney World.
Guests who aren’t looking for a sit-down dining experience can also indulge in some of the restaurant’s specialties at the counter service spot, Morimoto Asia Street Food. But if you are set on experiencing table service, keep in mind that MA is once again participating in Orlando Magical Dining Month, during which you can get three courses for $35! (See the full list of participating Disney Restaurants here.)
The restaurant’s alluring atmosphere and huge menu of tempting dishes was hard to resist for long. And since we believe in visiting a spot again and again to ensure we can still recommend it, I felt that it was time to take in another full-on Morimoto Asia meal. Join me to see how the restaurant is faring two years in.
Morimoto is located in The Landing at Disney Springs. If you’re trying to get your bearings, head past Sprinkles from the Lime Garage and you’ll find it across from Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant.
