food IS a theme park
No two days are alike in Disney World — but you probably already knew that.
EPCOT
Right now, we’re in the midst of the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival, taking in all the sights, sounds, smells, and of course — eats! But before we know it, the Food & Wine Festival will be here. Disney is doing all sorts of preparing to make sure EPCOT is in tip-top shape, so let’s take a look at what’s new!
Welcome, people of EPCOT. EPCOT-ers? EPCOT-ians? Citizens of Epcot? Well, whatever you call yourselves, welcome to our latest EPCOT check-in!
Hello, EPCOT!
What’s new since our last visit to EPCOT? Any new drinks? New character updates? Let’s find out!
Deciding when to visit Disney World is one of the most crucial — and tricky — parts of planning your vacation. If you’re not careful, you might end up visiting the parks in the middle of hurricane season or a big holiday break!
Springtime is the perfect time to visit the parks!
Of course, major holidays like Christmas are known to bring large amounts of people to Disney World but don’t forget about other little holidays like spring break or Labor Day weekend. Now that we’ve reached mid-April, the spring break crowds are finally gone, but how has the latest runDisney event impacted the parks? Let’s take a look!Â
It’s BACK! After leaving us in 2021, the EPCOT Forever fireworks show has returned!
Spaceship Earth
Since it was announced last year that the show would be returning, we have been waiting for this day. EPCOT Forever debuted in 2019 (taking over for the long-running Illuminations show), and it was replaced by Harmonious in 2021. Now, this show is back for a limited time. Come with us to check it out!
Okay, so we know it and you know it…but it can be hard to find decent pizza at quick-service locations in Disney World.

Now it DOES happen occasionally, but when we’re given options like Pizzafari in Animal Kingdom and PizzeRizzo in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we know that good pizza is hard to come by when you just don’t want to sit down for a table service meal. However, there IS good quick-service pizza in Disney World, if you happen to be in the right place at the right time.
Yesterday was a very busy day for Walt Disney World news, and sometimes it’s hard to keep up with everything they threw out to us.

If you happened to miss an announcement (or two, or three) don’t worry, we’re here to help recap all the biggest news announcements for you! [Read more…]

What’s not to love about World Showcase in EPCOT? Is there any other place on Earth where you can go to just ONE spot and visit 11 countries at once?

But you don’t just get to visit those countries, you can also shop for merchandise from those countries, see traditional entertainment from those parts of the world, and eat foods in restaurants inspired by those cultures. You can also drink beverages from or inspired by those worlds, so let’s talk about drinking our way AROUND the World.
St. Patrick’s Day is this week, and Disney has a lot of food and drink options to celebrate!
La Hacienda de San Angel
From sweet treats to drinks, Disney is giving guests a lot of options to celebrate. We have already tried a few to share with you like the Mickey’s Pot of Gold cake and the Nugget cupcake. Now, we needed something to go with our sweet treats and we found a festive drink to match!
Happy First Day of Spring! Okay, we know it’s not technically spring yet, but EPCOT’s International Flower and Garden Festival started today — and that means it’s officially Spring at Disney World.
Flower & Garden Festival
Of course, one of the BEST parts about Flower and Garden is the AMAZING food that you can grab from each of the booths — springtime cuisine inspired by all the wonderful cultures represented in World Showcase. However, we stumbled upon something you might wanna grab… it isn’t food — but it’s a souvenir you can only grab from a food booth!
We’ve officially reached the time of year when we’re just yearning for spring!
Almost to Spring!
One of the best parts of spring at Disney is EPCOT’s International Flower and Garden Festival, where gorgeous florals and greenery decorate the park and inspire cuisine throughout World Showcase. The Flower and Garden Festival begins on March 1st this year, and we just saw the first signs of the festival (and spring!) at EPCOT!
