food IS a theme park
Hello, world travelers, and welcome to EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth
Let’s take a stroll around the world and into the future to see what’s new at this Walt Disney World theme park!
When we think of iconic eats in EPCOT’s United Kingdom pavilion, Fish and Chips is one of the first menu items that comes to mind!
Fish & Chips Minnie Ears
And apparently we’re not the only ones that appreciate the golden brown, deep-fried deliciousness of this dish. Because not only did we spy some AMAZING Fish and Chips Minnie Ears, but we just found a ton more Fish and Chips merch, too! We’re all about food-related merch at Disney World!
If you’re celebrating any part of the holiday season at Epcot, then you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy the Epcot International Festival of the Holidays from November 29th through December 30th!

And a HUGE part of the Festival of the Holidays is the global cuisine available throughout the park at Holiday Kitchens — also known as Food Booths.
Welcome to Festival of the Holidays!
This year, the Holiday Kitchens will once again be found around World Showcase and throughout the rest of Epcot. These kitchens will continue to offer tastes of the holidays representing seasonal traditions around the world.
There are 13 Holiday Kitchens this year along with a few additional offerings.
Welcome back, world travelers! We’re here with another roundup of What’s New in Epcot.

Epcot is busy with the International Festival of the Arts starting this Friday — we’ll be reporting live from opening day — but we still found new must-have food-themed merchandise being added to the shops as well as new drinks, sweet eats, teas, and construction progress — we’ve got it all covered!
Hello from Epcot
Let’s jump in with that brand new space-themed restaurant near Mission: Space opening in 2020!
Attention tea lovers! Stephen Twining, of the famous Twinings of London tea company, is headed to Walt Disney World! The tenth generation member of the royal tea family will be in Epcot this Thanksgiving weekend!

If we aren’t eating in Epcot, it’s likely because we are shopping! We found some additional merchandise items in a new line that launched in the park earlier this summer.
Princess Home Items
We already spotted this line featuring Belle on shirts, bags and home items. And now Aurora and Cinderella have been added to the line.
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”!
Epcot
Hello, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video today, and we’re taking you on a Food Tour of Epcot’s United Kingdom Pavilion!
Epcot’s United Kingdom Pavilion
The United Kingdom is packed with so much more than just Fish & Chips as far as food options (although I do enjoy a stop at Yorkshire County Fish Shop, too!). Not only are there fun finds — even beyond Twinings Tea — at The Tea Caddy, but there is also some great pub grub to enjoy along with your pint… or pints 😉 . And did you know you can catch the IllumiNations fireworks from a great dining spot in the UK Pavilion? Check it all out in our latest DFB Video! [Read more…]
