There have been travel bans for certain countries and warnings not to travel to others, as well as thousands of flights being canceled due to the rise of the Omicron variant of COVID-19. But recently, France has relaxed its travel restrictions for one country it had previously banned all but essential travel from.

COVID-19 continues to impact theme parks, travel plans, and more around the world.
COVID-19 Health and Safety Sign
Just this week, we saw that Hong Kong Disneyland will be closing temporarily due to COVID-19 concerns. We also saw some record daily numbers hit in terms of COVID-19 cases in the United States. The CDC has also updated certain recommendations regarding isolation and quarantine, and we’ve seen updates on COVID-19 boosters. Now we’ve gotten an update regarding COVID-19 testing in another part of the world.
EPCOT has some of the best food in Disney World, from the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival to restaurants all over the World Showcase. You might even say food is THE reason to visit EPCOT.

There are a LOT of quick service restaurants in EPCOT, and after we asked our readers to help us rank Magic Kingdom’s quick service spots we HAD to rank EPCOT too! We asked you, dear readers, to vote for ALL the quick service restaurants around EPCOT, and you might be surprised by the results!
Greetings from EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth
We’re here to tell you all about everything NEW in EPCOT, from food, construction, merchandise, and more! Let’s get started!
Earlier this year we shared that Disney Cruise Line would be sailing again soon…but NOT in the way you might expect!
Ready to Go Cruisin’?
While the cruising situation from the U.S. continues to develop, this summer Disney Cruise Line will be debuting a WHOLE NEW cruising experience for those from the United Kingdom. And now we’ve got a bunch of details about those cruise itineraries and WHEN you’ll be able to book!
Navigating your way around Disney World can be pretty tough right now.
Ready For Your Next Trip to EPCOT?
Even if you’re a seasoned Disney expert, a lot of things have changed in the parks, especially if you haven’t visited recently. Due to social distancing requirements, many lines stretch can FAR away from their ride entrances. At some stores and other spots, you may find that the back entrance you ALWAYS used to use is now shut and there are more limited entrances and exits.
So, recently we developed a handy-dandy map to help you easily maneuver your way around Magic Kingdom, and now we’ve made a similar map for EPCOT! This might just be the BEST map you’ll use during your upcoming trip.
As the situation with the COVID-19 pandemic continues to develop, rules regarding masks, travel, and more in the U.S. and other countries continue to be discussed or changed depending on the circumstances.
Flight from Orlando
So far, we’ve shared that the U.S. may be considering some domestic travel restrictions, COVID-19 testing is required for international flights coming into the U.S., and COVID-19 testing may be required for domestic flights in the future. But, now we’re seeing some important updates coming out of the United Kingdom that could seriously impact travel plans.
The Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts just kicked off and we’ve eaten A LOT of goodies lately.
Chicken and Mushroom Pie
There’s one dish that stood out today…and it has nothing to do with the festival! We were strolling by our favorite fish and chip joint in EPCOT and noticed a placard for the Chicken and Mushroom Pie. Ummm. Chicken and mushrooms stuffed in a puff pastry? Don’t mind if we do!
We have eaten our way around EPCOT a LOT, all in the name of science, of course!
Epcot World Showcase
While some snacks have been a total WIN for us, others have been disappointing or just not worth the calories or price! Want to know what food we’d skip? You’ve GOT to check out our list.
