food IS a theme park
Spring is in FULL bloom at EPCOT, and we just love to see it all.
We go to the parks every. single. day. So, we have ALL of the updates from the park. From new food to merch to spring break crowds, here’s what we’ve seen at this Walt Disney World park lately!
It’s been a year since Jellyrolls temporarily shut its doors at Walt Disney World due to the global health crisis, and you know what we’ve been missing?? The dueling pianos and jovial vibe that comes with it!

So, when we heard that The Boathouse at Disney Springs would be hosting The Captain’s Sing-Along Brunch not just with dueling pianos but also with FREE mimosas (more on that in a bit!) and a brand-new menu, we knew we HAD to check it out!
St. Patrick’s Day will be here before we know it!

And the best part of this holiday (like all holidays, duh!) is the FOOD!
In case you missed it, the 2021 Taste of Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival has taken over EPCOT!
Fantasia Topiary
We’ve already eaten our way around the festival and discovered this year’s BEST eats, but we love the way the ENTIRE park gets transformed, from the gorgeous topiaries to the LIVE entertainment!
There’s BIG news about the coronavirus vaccine distribution in the United States tonight.

Previously, we’ve learned that the U.S. should have enough vaccines for every adult by May, and that people who have been fully vaccinated can safely gather together indoors without face coverings on (though orders about whether or not you can do that in indoor public places varies by state).
Are you feeling a little lucky? You just might be, because St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner!

But you don’t need to be super lucky to try all of the Irish-themed treats across Walt Disney World — you just need to know where to find them!
March 2020 was a little chaotic, to say the least, with Disney World closing down due to the global health crisis. And in the midst of all that, St. Patrick’s Day got a little lost in the shuffle.
The Artist’s Palette
On the very day that Disney World Resort Hotels closed down, we found a brand new treat, the Irish Car Bundt Cake. We got to see it, but weren’t able to try it.
More and more of traditional brick-and-mortar experiences are moving online for Disney, from movie premieres (like Raya and the Last Dragon) to shopping.

Due to the shift to e-commerce on shopDisney and elsewhere, Disney announced that 20% of Disney stores across North America would be CLOSING, sending Disney fans into a tizzy wondering if their nearby store would be one of the affected closures. (After all, where would you be able to find Spaghetti Stitch?!)
If you are the type to look swanky and swell at Walt Disney World, chances are you know about Dapper Day.
Disneybounding
This is an organization that celebrates retro style and modern “refined” style that throws it back to days of red lipstick, bouffant hairstyles, and petticoats. You may know them from their Dapper Day meetups at Disney World and Disneyland!
It’s been about a few years since we first learned that EPCOT would be getting its OWN version of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in the France Pavilion!
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Ride Vehicle
This ride was originally supposed to open in summer 2020, but due to the global health crisis, the construction and opening date were delayed. We have seen a lot of work being done on the ride and the France pavilion’s expansion. Last year, Disney shared that the ride would be opening in 2021, and now we FINALLY have an official opening date!!
