food IS a theme park
There is a lot to love when it comes to Disney World!
Spaceship Earth and the New Lights
It is the Most Magical Place on Earth after all, and is full of fun rides, characters, and food (obviously). But, there are some things in Disney World that are…well…not so magical. These things may be different for some people, but there is one thing that practically everyone agrees to hate so far: the Harmonious barges in EPCOT.
We got some major Disney World announcements recently.
EPCOT
We learned the official opening dates for two new things coming to EPCOT later this year — Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and La Crêperie de Paris! They’ll both be opening on October 1st in celebration of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary. But, we couldn’t help but notice that another upcoming attraction wasn’t mentioned — EPCOT’s new fireworks show, Harmonious.
If there’s anything you can rely on when visiting the Germany Pavilion in EPCOT, it’s beer. Germany is one of the World Showcase Pavilions where we all tend to experience that “When in Rome” moment, you know? When in the Germany Pavilion, one orders a beer!
Germany Pavilion in EPCOT
If you frequent the Germany Pavilion, however, you may have noticed that time and time again, the beer selections seem to be more or less the same. That’s why we we were all the more excited to see on our visit today that there were not one, but TWO new beer offerings at the Germany Hovels Stand.
EPCOT is very much Disney World’s work-in-progress park right now.
Harmonious Centerpiece
From the HUGE construction in Future World to the major upcoming attractions, we’re seeing a LOT of work in the park. Recently, we’ve found ourselves super focused on the construction for EPCOT’s new nighttime spectacular and we saw more work today.
Harmonious, EPCOT’s upcoming nighttime show, has been making huge progress lately!
Harmonious Barges
We knew we were getting closer to seeing the show when the first and second barges came out onto World Showcase Lagoon, but now the six-story tall centerpiece barge is on full display. And tonight we noticed something pretty awesome about the barges out on the water!
Disney World may be in a phased reopening from the closures in 2020, but there’s a full lineup of new dining locations across the resort on deck for 2021! In fact, a couple of those locations have already opened, with more (hopefully!) on the way!
Magic Kingdom
If you’re heading to Disney World in 2021 and you want to experience the latest and greatest in dining, we got you covered. Today, we’re ONLY chatting about restaurants that have opened or are scheduled to open sometime in 2021.
La Cava del Tequila is a top-notch spot in EPCOT.
Mexico Pavilion
Tucked away in the Mexico Pavilion, it serves up some excellent tequilas and unique margaritas! Now, some new sips are on the menu!
The EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival is in full swing (or bloom, ya might say)!
Northern Bloom Booth
Spring is one of our favorite times of the year at Disney World because Disney pulls out all the stops and decks EPCOT out in flowers! Oh, and there’s food. You know wherever there’s foods and drinks, that’s where you’ll find us! So, we’re back at EPCOT to bring you all the new and returning festival eats.
Hello, from the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival! We are having so much fun welcoming the next big celebration at EPCOT!
Mickey and Minnie in Plant Form!
We’ve been eating all the yummy food, enjoying some fun activities and entertainment, and checking out all the beautiful topiaries!
We’ve got a brand-new float to try in Disney World!
Fife and Drum
EPCOT may be busy gearing up for its 2021 Flower and Garden Festival — which starts TOMORROW, by the way! — but there’s still other treats to try around the park. And at Fife & Drum Tavern, we spotted the new Half Note Float!
