food IS a theme park
Disney World’s 50th Anniversary has brought a lot of new offerings.
Harmonious
Perhaps the most exciting of these offerings are the new firework shows. We’ve already seen Disney Enchantment in Magic Kingdom and Harmonious in EPCOT. Disney fans certainly have big feelings about these new shows, but we noticed something particularly interesting about Harmonious. It’s not really a firework show, is it?
Is it just us or was September the longest month ever?

Maybe it’s because we just couldn’t wait for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration to kick-off so that we could eat all the new foods in the parks. We also had a TON of restaurant menu changes, reopenings, and more!
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure officially opened at EPCOT on October 1st after a few weeks of previews. This new family-friendly dark ride takes guests on a spinning adventure through the world of Pixar’s Ratatouille and can be found in the new France Pavilion expansion in World Showcase.
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure!
What’s a new ride at Disney World without accompanying merchandise? We’ve already gotten a look at a ton of new Remy souvenirs at EPCOT, but today we checked out even MORE goodies!
There are two new ways to experience Harmonious, the brand-new nighttime spectacular at EPCOT. If standing along World Showcase Lagoon just won’t cut it and you’re looking to add a little something special to your evening, new dining packages are available for booking at both Rose & Crown Dining Room in the U.K. Pavilion as well as Spice Road Table in the Morocco Pavilion.
EPCOT
We chose to experience Harmonious from Rose & Crown Dining Room recently, and we wanted to share our experience and our thoughts with you today to discuss whether or not it’s worth the price tag!
As you can imagine, Disney World is abuzz with activity now that the 50th Anniversary Celebration is here!

And while we’re busy trying out ALL the new foods that the parks just released, we’re also keeping an eye on restaurant menus at the resort to let you know when there are any changes and updates.
Bonjour! Anyone in the market for a new MagicBand? Perhaps you’re looking for that finishing-touch accessory to go with your Ratatouille-themed park outfit?
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure
If you’re planning a trip to Disney World soon, or if you have a growing collection of MagicBands, you might like the new MagicBand we found in EPCOT! A word of warning, though, it’s not for everyone!
Part of EPCOT’s Transformation included the re-imagining of Future World into three new, distinct neighborhoods: World Discovery, World Celebration, and World Nature. These three sections would join World Showcase as the four themed areas of EPCOT!
EPCOT
Earlier this week, we learned that these three neighborhoods would officially debut in time for the start of the 50th Anniversary Celebration — as well as EPCOT’s 39th Anniversary. Today is the day, and the days of referring to “Future World” when describing the front half of EPCOT are behind us!
There have been several big changes in EPCOT over the last few weeks that we’ve eagerly waited for! The month of September brought the long-awaited opening of Space 220, and we’ve been enjoying checking out the newly expanded France Pavilion with Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and La Crêperie de Paris!
EPCOT
Tonight, however, all eyes are on World Showcase Lagoon as we finally get to see the brand-new nighttime spectacular, Harmonious!
Disney World’s 50th Anniversary is in just TWO DAYS.
Figment!
There are LOTS new and exciting things debuting in Disney World this Friday — from Magic Kingdom’s Disney Enchantment fireworks show to Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in EPCOT’s France. Now, though, it’s been announced that October 1st will bring the return of some old favorites as well.
Disney World’s 50th Anniversary means we get to say hello to some new offerings…but it also means we have to say some goodbyes.
EPCOT Forever Fireworks
In preparation for the start of Harmonious (the much-anticipated new EPCOT nighttime show), we have to say goodbye to EPCOT Forever. EPCOT Forever was intended to serve as a placeholder as EPCOT transitioned from Illuminations to Harmonious, and now the final night of the show has arrived.
