food IS a theme park
Epcot is a busy park these days! Each visit finds construction progress, menu updates, and new must-have merchandise! See what we found this week!
Hello from Epcot
We started our visit out checking on the progress of the Guardians of the Galaxy attraction.
If you’re in the need for a little aloha, Disney’s Aulani Resort is the place to go. You really can’t go wrong with a view like this:

And DFB reader Rachel Wagner shared a different kind of view with us from Aulani: a Pineapple-Filled Churro with Dole Whip Twist! Hello!! [Read more…]
Hello again from Disney Springs!! Earlier this week we sampled the Bacon Cheeseburger Mac and Cheese which we believe to be one of the items coming to the recently announced Mac and Cheese Truck which will soon join the other Disney Food Trucks.

And speaking other the other Food Trucks… they include the Fantasy Fare Food Truck which is where we’ve just tried ANOTHER new twist on mac and cheese. Introducing the Lobster and Shrimp Mac & Cheese!!
BIG changes are coming to Epcot’s France Pavilion! We’ve been following along with the construction of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, the highly anticipated attraction coming to the Pavilion. We are also looking forward to the Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along experience joining the scene as well. And today brings news of a new restaurant being added to France, to boot: an authentic crêperie!

The crêperie will be built in a new location next to Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. It will showcase the cuisine of celebrity chef Jérôme Bocuse of Chefs de France and Monsieur Paul. The menu will be inspired by the Brittany region of France and will present table service dining along with a quick service location serving up both savory (“galettes”) and sweet crepes. [Read more…]
We were in the Spring Break mood so we headed to Key West…Disney’s Old Key West Resort that is! After our tropical escape we headed to Saratoga Springs Resort. On our “travels” we found new menus, merchandise, cupcakes, and wine and mixology seminars!
Hello from Saratoga Springs
Our visit to Old Key West’s Gurgling Suitcase was full of new menu items!
Pepe is now open on the West Side of Disney Springs!
Pepe is the new counter service component of Jaleo by Chef José Andrés (which will open for its dinner debut this evening). This location in Disney Springs is the first brick-and-mortar location for Pepe, following the Pepe food truck which has been a hit for the last six years in Washington, D.C.
You’ll find Pepe on the front corner adjacent to the main entrance for Jaleo. So, if you’re hoping to catch some of the authentic Spanish cuisine by Chef Andres, but don’t have plans to dine inside Jaleo, we’re going to check out what Pepe has in store for you!
Pepe
Pepe — just like Jaleo — was designed by Spanish designer Juli Capella. [Read more…]
Greetings from Disney Springs! Earlier this month we shared the news of a brand new MAC & CHEESE TRUCK joining the other food trucks on the West Side. While the upcoming truck hasn’t been spotted yet, we have been able to sample what we believe to be one of the new offerings!

We couldn’t help but notice the following sign posted right by the Fantasy Fare Food Truck… [Read more…]
