food IS a theme park
You won’t believe who we just saw at EPCOT!
EPCOT
We were recently at EPCOT, enjoying our day at the park, when the most unexpected thing happened. We’re willing to bet you won’t be able to guess what it was!
This week was certainly a big one for Disneyland Resort, with tons of announcements around Oogie Boogie Bash, which kinda stuck Disney World in the backseat. Though after weeks in a row of TONS of news and changes, we think it deserves a little break.

That’s not to say that things didn’t still HAPPEN in Disney World, because they absolutely did. Not only did one construction project FINALLY finish up after months, but we also got new sneak peeks of TWO of the new lands on their way!
EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival has been one of Disney World’s premier events for over three decades, and it often has the crowds to prove it! However, believe it or not, some weeks are slower than others.
2025 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
If one dissects the 2026 Festival’s dates, certain weeks will be easier to visit than others. Now, that doesn’t mean lines will be nonexistent — they’ll still be there, especially at the most popular booths — but the park won’t be as slammed with crowds as it is during the fest’s opening, closing, or Holiday weeks.
When we’re at EPCOT, we love visiting The Odyssey building. Where else can you find air conditioning, bathrooms with no line, and a shortcut to Mexico all in one place?
The Odyssey Pavilion
But when we stopped by The Odyssey building yesterday, we noticed a massive change. The Odyssey building might look totally different soon!
EPCOT’s France Pavilion is dangerous in the way only a place full of pastries, champagne, ice cream, and tiny Parisian streets can be dangerous.

You think you’re just walking through. Maybe you’ll grab a croissant. Maybe you’ll wave politely at the Eiffel Tower in the distance. Maybe you’ll make one responsible snack choice and continue your mature, balanced World Showcase day.
There are a lot of great perks that come with being a Disney Vacation Club Member. We’re talking hotel rooms, exclusive perks, great Disney deals, and more!
DVC kiosk in EPCOT
We know about some of the big perks, but what about the special low-key ones, like how Disney Vacation Club members can get access to exclusive character meet-and-greets?! There’s a new meet-and-greet in EPCOT, exclusive for DVC, and members are rushing to the park!
Recently, Disney has announced new lands, attractions, and entertainment headed to the theme parks, new ships coming to the Disney Cruise Line, and so much more. But what about those projects that Disney hasn’t exactly announced yet?
EPCOT
Keeping up with the latest construction permits Disney World files can be a great way to find out just what is going on around the parks and hotels, and we recently spotted one for a popular EPCOT pavilion!
This year, America is celebrating its 250th anniversary, so July 4th is going to be a BIG day at Disney World!

It’s a milestone celebration for America this year, and there’s a lot that will be going on at Disney World. If you’re planning on coming to the Most Magical Place on Earth for the big day, we have some more details for you on what to expect this year.
What a WEEK we’ve had in Disney World. SO much new stuff has arrived in the parks, like Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets, Cool KIDS’ SUMMER, Bluey’s Wild World, and more.
S’morin Across America Milk Shake
Some of these events even brought us some new food and drinks, including new Bluey-themed food and beverages, as well as a brand new Muppets-themed snack stand. Speaking of food, though, we’ve also been keeping up with Disney World restaurants this week, and we’ve got a few menu changes we need to tell you about.
These days, it feels like things are always changing in Walt Disney World! There are tons of new projects underway like Disney’s new Villains Land, Piston Peak land, Monsters Inc. Land, and more.
