food IS a theme park
EPCOT is undergoing some major changes right now.
EPCOT
With all the excitement for upcoming experiences like Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana, along with the constantly rotating schedule of the popular EPCOT festivals, a LOT of good attractions can get overlooked. We sure love talking about Spaceship Earth, Frozen Ever After, and Soarin’ Around the World. But what about those underrated attractions? What about Living with the Land?!
Did you know there’s a reason why Expedition Everest is just under 200 feet tall? Or that Disney actually uses a specific color to HIDE things they don’t want you to see?
Cinderella Castle
Whether you’ve been to Disney World never, once, or you’re a Disney World expert, there are TONS of things about the Most Magical Place on Earth that will totally BLOW your mind! And today we’re sharing 100 amazing Disney World facts with you!
Calling all EPCOT fans — there’s a new piece of limited-edition merchandise you have GOT to check out!
EPCOT
Remember those super cool limited-edition EPCOT posters from last year? Well, back in January, we shared that they’d be coming back, with releases throughout the entirety of 2021. Now, a new design is on shopDisney to purchase, and it’s inspired by an incredibly popular Disney ride!
Ready to go on a virtual trip around EPCOT?
Spaceship Earth
We’re constantly visiting the Disney World theme parks and more to see what’s new. During our most recent visit to EPCOT we spotted NEW Minnie ears, saw that a spot that JUST opened was CLOSED(!!), and got a look at lots of construction going on around the park. Join us for a virtual trip around this experimental prototype community of tomorrow to see all of the things that are new there!
Now that the holidays have officially arrived in Disney World, it looks like the crowds have arrived as well!
EPCOT
Yesterday marked the start of the 2020 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. Of course, we were there checking out all of the delicious food and beverage items at this year’s festival! But in addition to the menu items, we also got a taste of the crowds that arrived to check out the new seasonal offerings.
We’re old enough to remember a lot of EPCOT attractions that are, sadly, no longer with us (and yes, Body Wars still makes us nauseous just thinking about it, but wasn’t it fun?). And we even remember some of the present attractions that used to be a lot different!
Spaceship Earth
So we’ve decided to memorialize some of these classic EPCOT attractions with our brand new DFB mask collection! And these masks are all now available in our DFB Store!
While we’ve been exploring multiple quick-service and table-service restaurants around Disney World, it’s always important to return to an old favorite. We do this to make sure we have the most updated experience possible to share with you as you’re making your dining decisions for Disney World!
Garden Grill Restaurant
Garden Grill Restaurant has practically been a staple at EPCOT’s Land Pavilion since the theme park first opened — back when it was known as the Good Turn Restaurant and later the Land Grille Room. With its rotating dining room and great home-cooked food (some of which is grown right in the pavilion!) it makes us feel like we’re having Thanksgiving year-round. It’s also a super fun character dining experience.
It looks like this little cutie decided to spread his wings and fly!
Orange Bird Sipper
The Orange Bird Sipper originally debuted at the 2019 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival and quickly became a must-have item. It then made a triumphant return at this year’s Flower and Garden Festival, as well as the Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival.
Rain or shine, it’s always fun to take a walk around EPCOT and see what’s new!
Spaceship Earth at EPCOT
From new items available at the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival to a whole line of Fish & Chips MERCH in the United Kingdom pavilion(!!), come with us on a trip around the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow to see what new things we spotted!
So you want to bring your baby to Disney World?
It’s Disney World!
We’ll be the first to say — we’ve been there. You’re thinking this beautiful little bundle of joy needs to experience the magic of Disney World, right? Oh, and it’s time to take advantage of Disney World’s “children under three are free” policy! 🙂 Take it from some parents who have braved Disney World with a babe in tow — bringing a baby to Disney World is totally doable, and can be great, but we learned some lessons the hard way.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
