food IS a theme park
There’s a reason that EPCOT is often known as a foodie park…because there are SO MANY delicious food options!
Spaceship Earth
Whether you’re heading to the American Adventure to get some barbecue, over to France for some yummy pastries, or stopping by Japan for some fun snacks in the Mitsukoshi store, there are snacks for every taste in the World Showcase. Now, another snack option has returned to EPCOT for a limited time, and it’s a big one for pizza fans!
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.
We’ve seen SO many restaurants in Disney World reopen lately!
Japan Pavilion
The Crystal Palace and Tomorrowland Terrace recently reopened in the Magic Kingdom, but other restaurants like to keep us on our toes, like Toyko Dining in EPCOT. After briefly reopening in November, Tokyo Dining will be reopening for a very limited time this week!
As the days go by and restaurants throughout Disney World continue to reopen, we’re still hoping for a return from one of our favorite dining spots in EPCOT!
Japan Pavilion
Tokyo Dining has remained closed in World Showcase (aside from a limited few days in November), but with continued menu tweaks, we’re anxious that this MIGHT be a sign that a reopening is around the corner!
As with MANY parts of EPCOT, big changes are afoot in the World Showcase, and new updates are emerging seemingly on a daily basis!
World Showcase
This is especially true of the Morocco Pavilion! Although much of it is newly closed, the shops have JUST reopened!
EPCOT is home to lots of fun festivals, and the 2021 Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is right around the corner!
Epcot Festival of the Arts 2020
The upcoming festival will go on from January 8th through February 22nd! We can’t wait to see all the amazing art and specialty food, but today we’re excited to share the festival’s entertainment line-up!
One of the biggest draws of EPCOT is its colorful World Showcase, where guests can travel around the world in a day!
Morocco Pavilion
But some big changes are happening over at the Morocco Pavilion: Disney will take over operations of the pavilion from its current operating participants. And this is set to happen by the end of the year.
We spotted lots of fun, new merchandise in the Mexico Pavilion in EPCOT’s World Showcase today!
Mexico Ears
While checking out all the new stuff, we started to get a little thirsty. We decided to grab a drink from La Cava del Tequila to quench our thirst!
We love EPCOT’s World Showcase — it literally gives us a chance to shop (and eat!) around the world in one day!
Mexico Pavilion
We’ve recently been able to buy some merchandise fit for a (little) chef in the France Pavilion, some awesome Italian-themed merchandise, and some shirts suited for beer-lovers in the Germany Pavilion! And now, we’ve just spotted some brand new Mexico-themed merch at EPCOT’s Mexico Pavilion!
Since we call ourselves a food blog, we have to try all kinds of snacks: the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Pumpkin Spice Pretzel
We remember those that were rather disappointing to the eye, like the Pumpkin Spice Pretzel and the Poor Unfortunate Souls Float (the original with black raspberry soft serve). There are even a few “gross” Disney snacks that we actually recommend trying, like blue milk and Beverly, but there are always those that we don’t really understand. No matter how we feel about the snack, we usually do our best to muster up the courage to try the unique ones, and that’s exactly what we did today with a new flavor of Kit Kat!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
