food IS a theme park
A new ride is coming soon to Disneyland Resort and Disney World!
Soarin’ Across America
Soarin’ Across America is the third iteration of Soarin’, this time celebrating some of the United States’ most iconic landmarks and locales. This version is arriving in EPCOT and California Adventure in honor of America’s 250th birthday, and we just got a sneak peek at some of the locations that will be featured in the new ride film.
We practically live at EPCOT during the Food & Wine Festival, and these are the hacks that never let us down!
2024 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
You know we LOVE the EPCOT Festivals! And, with its focus on a few of our favorite things, the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival will always have an extra-special place in our hearts. This year’s EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is scheduled to run from August 27th through November 21st, 2026, and we’re already daydreaming about all of the incredible flavors we’re going to try! We want to make sure you have the BEST time at this year’s event, so we’re sharing the seven Food & Wine hacks that work every time!
Today is a big day at Disney World, because EPCOT will look totally different soon with the closure of a popular attraction.
Soarin’ Around the World
Soarin’ Around the World is officially closed at EPCOT! But don’t worry, it’s because a NEW version of the ride is coming soon.
Okay, it’s a lot to keep up with all the openings, closures, and construction happening in Disney World right now because there are SO many projects going on at once. We’re getting new lands, expansions, new rides, and so much more in three of Disney World’s four parks.
Soarin’ Around The World
Well, EPCOT has already had its big transformation, and things have been quiet there, but as of today, a popular ride will be closing to make way for a new version, so we wanted to remind you about it. Today is your last day to ride Soarin’ Around the World.
When it comes to dining with royalty (aka Disney Princesses), most folks will book Cinderella’s Royal Table in Magic Kingdom. However, did you know there’s a less expensive alternative in EPCOT?
Let’s dine with some Princesses
Seriously, when it comes to Princess dining, we think everyone almost forgets about Akershus Royal Banquet Hall, where you can experience Princess Storybook Dining with many of your favorite Princesses while enjoying a family-style dining experience. So let’s head on over to EPCOT’s Norway Pavilion to check it out!
We’re just about halfway through the year, and that means that hurricane season is almost here, and it’s time to prepare.
Rainy Day in Magic Kingdom
Hurricane season happens every year in Florida, which means that those planning Disney World or Universal Orlando trips should be aware of any and all storms that could develop. While Disney World is notoriously one of the safest places to be during a hurricane, it’s still not an ideal way to spend a vacation. If you’re heading to Orlando during hurricane season this year, there are TWO big differences you need to keep in mind.
May is a pretty fickle month in Disney World, because while the beginning part of the month means you’re in between spring break and summer crowds, the latter half of the month is when summer crowds start to pick up.
Everest Lightning Lane
If you’re not a big fan of waiting in line or want to make the most of each and every day without spending a lot of it in line, Lightning Lane may be a great fit for you. In the month of May, though, it can get pretty pricey. Just how much should you budget if you’re planning to use it on one of the days in the rest of this month? We’re breaking it all down!
This weekend is going to be BUSY in EPCOT! If you’re ready to check out the final days of Flower and Garden or live it up with the land, you might want to be prepared.
EPCOT
