food IS a theme park
We’re over in Epcot with an exciting food update, and it isn’t about the Epcot International Festival of the Arts!
Epcot’s Spaceship Earth
If you’ve been following along, you’ve seen the many changes and construction updates as part of Epcot’s exciting transformation.
We fancy ourselves pretty good with a camera (gotta get all those snack glamour shots), but the Disney World PhotoPass photographers can add that extra special magic to a vacation photo.

PhotoPass is celebrating their 15th anniversary this year and they’re cranking that pixie dust meter up to 1000 with new special nighttime magic shots and the option for you to have your own personal photo-shoot in the parks. Right now is the season for love and Disney World is setting up some great opportunities for you and your loved ones to share that special moment.
There’s been an outpouring of concern from some of our DFB readers over the past month centered around Le Cellier Steakhouse, a favorite signature dining spot located in Epcot’s Canada pavilion.
Le Cellier Steakhouse
You see, guests have been experiencing some weirdness with Disney World’s website while trying to make their Le Cellier reservations for the summer! And we’ve been getting tons of emails and direct messages for WEEKS asking WHY!
Usually these glitches work themselves out in time, but this one was going on TOO LONG for us to ignore. So to put your troubled minds at ease, we’ve decided to do a little digging and figure out just what exactly’s going on with Le Cellier!
Depending on which Disney World mode of transportation you choose, you can see A LOT of stuff sometimes — including some behind the scenes construction progress!
Disney Skyliner
That’s why today, while we were riding “high in the sky” on Disney Skyliner’s Epcot line, we snapped a few pics of the construction happening behind the France Pavilion at Epcot’s World Showcase!
Hey, everybody, it’s time to check out what’s been going on at Epcot!
Epcot
We’ve got a little bit of everything today, from shortcake and cookies to the construction on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and some Festival of the Arts stuff. Sooo, let’s dive in!
One of our go-to spots for tasty sweets in World Showcase is Kringla Bakeri in the Norway Pavilion. Annnd you may remember we reviewed the adorable Olaf Lemon Cheesecake when Frozen 2 debuted last fall.

Well, today we discovered that Kringla has rolled out a NEW flavor for this adorable treat.
Hey, everyone, we’re back with another update from Epcot!
Spaceship Earth
There’s a lot of construction to see as Epcot continues it’s ongoing transformation of Future World and additions to World Showcase, but we’ve also got some food and merch updates for ya. Let’s get started!
Disney World has been buzzing with excitement over Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure as it nears its completion (especially when the Gusteau’s sign and attraction marquee were all lit up). And, now that the Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along is open, folks have been flocking in droves to see it. Buuuut there hasn’t been much talk about the other major upgrade coming soon to the France Pavilion in Epcot’s World Showcase.
France Pavilion Expansion
And, while Epcot’s Space 220 Restaurant (which is also making some progress) and Regal Eagle Smokehouse are never far from people’s minds, La Crêperie de Paris hasn’t received equal billing…UNTIL NOW!
Epcot’s House of Good Fortune located in the China Pavilion is THE place to grab some of Disney World’s most delightful Cotton Candy creations!
5-Layered Spring Fantasy Cotton Candy
We’re talkin’ EPIC artisan Cotton Candy that takes on the shapes of various flowers, hearts, butterflies, and most recently, a Santa hat variation which we spotted during Epcot’s Festival of the Holidays!
Summer can’t come fast enough at World Showcase! With the massive transformation happening in Epcot over the next couple of years, it’s exciting to see some progress as we near the opening of some highly anticipated attractions and dining offerings!
France Pavilion
With the exciting opening of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in the France Pavilion coming SOON, we also have our sights set on a new restaurant that showed some signs of life today!
