food IS a theme park

A new bubble machine has just landed at EPCOT, and it comes in the form of the beloved purple dragon who’s all about imagination!
Wanna drink “around the world” in EPCOT on your next Disney trip? Well, you need to read this FIRST.

Drinking around the world is a popular challenge for folks doing bachelor/bachelorette trips, 21st birthdays, or just traveling with other adults. If done right, it can be accomplished, but you have to be careful about how you tackle it. Today, we’re sharing the full guide to drinking around EPCOT’s World Showcase!
Early Entry is one of Disney’s most POPULAR perks, and it’s about to expand!
Early entry sign!
A quick refresh on Early Entry before we begin: Guests staying at Disney Resort hotels (and select other hotels) can take advantage of a 30-minute early entry into each of Walt Disney World’s theme parks every day of their stay (including check-in and check-out days). Now that’s out of the way, let’s move on to what’s changing!
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 some you might want to know about!
If you’ve ever walked through the France Pavilion in EPCOT and felt completely overwhelmed by the pastry case at Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie, you are not alone.
Les Halles Boulangerie Pâtisserie
There’s so much going on in there that it’s genuinely easy to overlook something spectacular, and that’s exactly what almost happened to us with the Citron. We’d never heard of it. The people standing in line around us had never heard of it either. It wasn’t showing up in the My Disney Experience app, which is probably a big part of why it flies so far under the radar. But it was right there on the menu board, sitting pretty at $7.95, and we figured we had nothing to lose. We’re so glad we went for it.
It’s tempting to want to do EVERYTHING on your Disney World vacation…but your trip might actually be better if you DON’T ride some attractions.
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run
From classic attractions to exciting new additions, you might be thinking, “Yup, I want to do them all,” as you plan your upcoming Disney World vacation. But, as shocking as it might sound, SKIPPING some rides might actually be the best thing you can do to get the most out of your trip. Here are 5 rides you may want to intentionally leave off your 2026 Disney World itinerary!
What is your favorite Disney World ride? 62% of you just said Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind — I mean, I don’t have proof of that, just a hunch. Ever since this ride opened, Disney fans have fallen in love with it, and we know why.
Cosmic Rewind
For many, it’s a must-do every single EPCOT day. But once you’ve ridden it a handful of times, you start noticing things and wishing Disney would tweak a few things. We have some thoughts about what we would love to see changed here. We can’t promise that Disney will make these happen, but this is us politely asking Disney to consider these improvements!
When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. Want something quick and easy? You’ve got it. Something middle-of-the-road and comforting? Yep, that too. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious, you can find that as well.
Garden House
We recently stopped by Garden House in EPCOT’s Japan Pavilion to try some NEW drinks, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Are they worth a stop on your next trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth? Find out here!
We went to EPCOT for a new drink at La Cava del Tequila, when something new caught our eye!

We just found our favorite new piece of Disney merch hiding in plain sight in the Mexico Pavilion!
For the first time in what feels like forever, Disney didn’t have any major closures or massive changes happen in the past week, and there aren’t a number of them lined up for this week either!
A closure is hitting Disney Springs this week!
Now, three out of the four parks are still majorly under construction, meaning there are walls practically everywhere, and this week, one store is closing in Disney Springs, but it feels like we’re officially towards reopenings versus closures, which is a HUGE achievement.
