food IS a theme park
It’s time for your total Epcot round-up!
EPCOT
Our reporters are in the parks every single day so you know this is going to be a pretty big list! From new festival foods to new cocktails to construction updates, Epcot has been busy lately! Today, we’re going to be showing you even more new things we found in the parks!
Can’t get enough of Prince William and Kate Middleton? Following all the latest on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle? Well, now you don’t have to tune into the news to get your British royalty fix — you can head to Disney World! Wait…what?
United Kingdom Pavilion
Right now, Queen Elizabeth II is celebrating her Platinum Jubilee — this means that she’s been on the throne for 70 years (!!), making her only the second queen to EVER be on the throne this long. A pretty big deal, right? Well, you can mark the occasion in EPCOT’s U.K. Pavilion for only TWO days (June 4th and 5th) with a new treat and, of course, we had to stop by to give it a try!
Are you obsessed with the U.K. and British royalty?
United Kingdom pavilion
Have you kept up with every episode of The Crown, enjoy the occasional afternoon tea, indulge in fish and chips, and buy all the corgi merchandise in EPCOT’s U.K. Pavilion? Are you celebrating Queen Elizabeth II’s platinum jubilee? Well, there’s a NEW way to celebrate the Queen’s big milestone in Disney World!
A lot has changed in Disney World over the past two years and though some things have returned to how we remember them, others have taken on a new form entirely.
El Diablo
There are five POPULAR EPCOT spots that still haven’t gone to their pre-2020 norms. It’s unclear whether they ever will, but we want to make sure you know what to expect when you’re getting your lounge on in World Showcase. Let’s take a look!
Is anyone else feeling particularly cozy right now? No? Well, we might be able to fix that with this review!
Rose and Crown Dining Room Eats
We’re heading to World Showcase in EPCOT and journeying “across the pond” to the United Kingdom Pavilion to try out a spot that is somehow BOTH popular AND under-the-radar: Rose and Crown Dining Room. Known for fireworks views, hearty eats, and flawless British vibes, this restaurant is certainly one to consider on your next Disney trip. So, let’s see how it’s holding up!
Hide your wallets folks, ’cause it’s about to get dangerous! As if the bucket-load of EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival merchandise wasn’t enough already, Disney has decided to release MORE new items that you might find totally irresistible!Â
EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival
We’ve been making our way around EPCOT today specifically in search of all of the Flower and Garden Festival goodies, but as we were walking around the park something else caught our eye!
So many new pairs of Minnie ears have been released in the parks this year!
There are so many ears to choose from!
We finally just spotted the 2022 sequin ears in the parks, and don’t forget the new Alice in Wonderland ears! We’re in Disney World every single day and it seems like new ears are always popping up. On a recent trip to EPCOT, we spotted a new pair of ears that are perfectly posh — let’s check them out!Â
One of the most magical ways to end your Disney World day is to watch the fireworks over the Cinderella Castle or above the EPCOT World Showcase Lagoon.
Happily Ever After Fireworks
You can make that experience even better by adding some delicious Disney food into the mix! Digging into a tasty meal while Enchantment fireworks are going off in the background? Sounds like heaven to us. Today, we’re taking a look at the BEST restaurants for fireworks views in Disney World.Â
Disney World is in full holiday mode right now!
Holidays!!!
There are lots of new treats to try out, we’ve seen new merchandise in the shops, and the Very Merriest After Hours event has begun. All of the parks have been putting up decorations over the last week or so (and some started even earlier than that!), except for one. But now the last Disney World park to get decorations is finally getting into the holiday spirit! [Read more…]
There’s a lot going on in the Disney World parks today with the release of Genie, Genie+, and Individual Attraction Selection.
EPCOT
But besides these new features (which you can learn all about here), what else is new in the parks? We’re heading to EPCOT to check out some updates in new merchandise, construction, crowds, and more. Let’s go see what’s new!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
