food IS a theme park
“Soarin’ to tower! We are ready for takeoff!”
Soarin’ Around the World
Before you get ready to ride Soarin’ Around the World in EPCOT, and have the chance to meet Patrick, the Chief Flight Attendant, we have some tips on what rows to request for the best experience.
We are just a few short weeks away from the END of the 3-month-long festival drought in EPCOT with the start of EPCOT’s International Food and Wine Festival!
2023 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
Menus have FINALLY been released for the festival, and words can’t express how excited we are. We’ve already been looking through it and making our festival plan, our eyes brightening as we saw more and more options coming back that we’ve enjoyed in years past, and then — wait, what is THAT?!
Popular Disney World rides will close now and then for refurbishment, which means you may miss out on riding them during your vacation.
Magic Kingdom
It’s no fun to get to the parks to find a ride closed down, but Disney has to ensure that all of their rides are working properly and make adjustments to them when needed. But we get really excited when we get to report that a ride or attraction is re-opening which is the case this week! While there are still a few closures around Disney World, one very popular ride at Magic Kingdom will be opening once again.
We often tell you to check the Disney World park hours the week leading up to and even every single day of your trip.
EPCOT
Why? Well, because if you’ve booked your trip a year in advance, things may happen between the time you booked your trip and your actual travel dates. In fact, Disney is known to adjust its park hours all the time. Sometimes, it’s due to after-hours testing, or more often, a company may rent out a park for a special event (or the parks can close early for one of Disney’s special events like their Halloween and holiday parties or after-hours events). If you’re heading to EPCOT in October, it’s imperative you know that the park will be closing EARLY one day!
We all love EPCOT in Disney World, right?
EPCOT
And there are some strong reasons to love EPCOT. It’s home to some iconic rides like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Test Track, and Soarin’ Around the World and we haven’t even brought up any of the festivals. That being said, there are some hard truths you need to know about this park.
Extra, extra, read all about it! Seriously, we’re sure Disney World hasn’t had a wink of sleep because they’ve dropped so many new updates this week (including some for spooky season!). If you’ve missed out, this is your chance to catch up!
EPCOT
I’m back again with another round of WHAT’S NEW UPDATES AT DISNEY WORLD, a rundown on all the epic news and updates that happened at Disney World this past week. This week we got the 4-1-1 on a classic attraction opening up with CHANGES, a NEW land coming to the Magic Kingdom, and big REVEALS for EPCOT’S 2024 International Food and Wine Festival. Are y’all ready? Okay, let’s go!
So we’ll admit it — our heads are still REELING from that WILD Disney Parks and Experiences Panel at D23: The Ultimate Fan Event.
Magic Kingdom
Like, y’all — we expected Disney to make some announcements about new additions coming to Disney World, but Disney completely blew our expectations out of the water. Now, we’re just trying to sort through all the awesomeness, like a Monsters, Inc. land, a new Cars land, a new Villains Land (we still can’t believe this announcement happened), and more. So we’ve taken all of those Disney World announcements and put them into a timeline of when they’re actually coming to Disney World.
Walking around Disney World every day gives us a unique advantage to sit back and watch for things that might not be so apparent on the surface. Or maybe, we run across things that are too “in your face” that you just completely miss.
EPCOT
It’s true we’ve covered some of the most bizarre and weird things we’ve spotted at Disney World’s park however, we’re seeing evidence of a new trend growing and we don’t know how to feel about it.
We’re back with an update from the WILDEST town in Disney World!
Hey there tiny villagers!
If you’ve been following along with our adventures in the tiny train town in EPCOT, then you know that this itty bitty city is filled with crime, dastardly deeds, and in general, complete anarchy. As the self-proclaimed mayor of the village, I’ve been attempting to catch the criminals in their wrongdoing and keep the town on the straight and narrow, but during a recent visit, I found some concerning problems.
Alright everyone, time to gather ’round and say “CHEESE!”
Emile and Remy are ready!
But not for a picture; it’s time to check out what’s in store for Emile’s Fromage Montage at this year’s EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival!
