food IS a theme park
Some HUGE changes are coming to EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth
We’ve already seen a few new changes, including the new fountain in front of Spaceship Earth and the new Leave A Legacy display. But so much more is coming, including the Harmonious nighttime show, the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind ride, and more!
If you love Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, we’ve got something exciting for you!
Disney’s Yacht Club & Resort
There’s just something about the atmosphere of the Yacht Club that makes us feel more relaxed. It could be the fact that we like to stuff our faces with delicious ice cream at Beaches & Cream while we’re visiting or just the sound of the boat’s horn as it takes guests between EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. Well, we stumbled upon a new souvenir that captures the atmosphere and has some hidden details for dedicated Disney fans!
Construction has really ramped up this year at Disney World!
Fantasmic! at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
EPCOT has already seen a few updates, with more on the way. Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom got a makeover, and several rides are currently in progress. But Disney’s Hollywood Studios might get some work done soon, too!
Over at EPCOT, we’re still waiting for some of our favorite restaurants to reopen!
Morocco
This is especially true over at the newly-reopened Morocco Pavilion — we’ve been waiting for both Tangierine Cafe and Restaurant Marrakesh to open their doors again! But now, there’s a new snack option in the Pavilion you might want to check out.
After so many stops into the shops in Disney World, you start recognizing the same things over…and over…and over again.
Mitsukoshi Department Store
But, if you’re looking for the most non-Disney store at Disney World, you can head over to Mitsukoshi Department Store in EPCOT’s Japan Pavilion. The store is filled with unique gifts like peach rice cakes, strawberry Kit Kats, and cool color-changing shirts. We’ve even spotted some Animal Crossing plushes (it is Disney after all) and we found ANOTHER video game-inspired item on our visit today!
We’ll be the first to tell you — Disney merchandise can get pretty expensive!
Cinderella Castle
As much as we love Disney-themed shopping, we’ve seen some pretty pricey things in the parks. Things like jewelry, designer ears, and fancy handbags can all become big budget-busters. Today, we spotted another expensive souvenir, but it’s probably not the item you’d think!
One thing that is so cool about EPCOT is that you can get a variety of unique souvenirs from the World Showcase Pavilion shops! We’ve found a lot of unique and tasty chips, as well as trolls (not the internet kind) and some fiesta-worthy Minnie ears at the pavilions!
House of Good Fortune
And one of our favorite shops there is the House of Good Fortune in the China Pavilion. Yes, we’ve had a lot of AMAZINGLY awesome snacks from there, but we love the other merch there, too! And today, we found the most interesting plush ever!
Earlier this month, Southern California’s stay-at-home order was lifted, allowing eating and drinking to return to Downtown Disney. Since then, various dining locations throughout the shopping district as well as Buena Vista Street have reopened, although we’ve been waiting for a few more spots to trickle in!
Storytellers Statue
Starting this week, guests can once again get their favorite caffeine fix while visiting Downtown Disney!
We’re at Disney World every single day, and well, we’ve seen some things…
Dole Whip!
We’ve seen ride fails, merchandise fails, and more. But we think what we saw today might be the most anxiety-inducing thing we’ve ever seen at Disney World.
Enjoying the typical restaurants, rides, and shops in Disney World is great. But, if there are limited-time events, you’ll want to make sure you know about those and can take advantage of them before they’re gone.
Disney Springs
Recently, we saw lots of limited-time deals announced for Valentine’s Day. And now another limited-time event is coming to Disney Springs, but this one is for whiskey fans.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
