food IS a theme park
If you’re prone to impulse shopping, EPCOT can be seriously dangerous for your wallet.
World Showcase at EPCOT
Between the unique gift shops tucked inside each pavilion and the endless themed merchandise throughout World Showcase, there’s no shortage of tempting souvenirs around every corner. Before you know it, you may end up spending way more than you planned and regretting a few of those purchases later!
Cool KIDS’ SUMMER is here, and that means tons of characters, dance parties, and more. One of the best parts is the limited-time snacks that have hit Disney World.
GRAB-N-GOOF
This time, we’re heading straight to EPCOT to GRAB-N-GOOF. This snack stand is right by CommuniCore Hall and is usually only here for the Cool KIDS’ SUMMER event, which ends on September 8th. Who’s ready for some quirky snacks that are full of fun?
Not only did a brand-new ride debut at EPCOT, but soarin’ in with it is a brand-new treat!
A new treat is now at EPCOT!
We went to EPCOT to ride the new Soarin’ Across America, which is a retheme of Soarin’ Around the World for America’s 250th anniversary. While we were there, we noticed that Sunshine Seasons had a new treat themed after Soarin’. We obviously weren’t going to pass up trying it!
Cool Kids’ Summer has officially kicked off in Disney World! This summer bash brings new limited-time offerings to all four Disney World parks, and we’re so excited that one of our favorites has returned this year!
GoofyCore
At GoofyCore, you can dance and play along with the Goof Troop, DJ Dance Pants, and Goofy himself in tons of fun activities. Here’s everything you need to know if you’re checking out GoofyCore on your next EPCOT visit!
We LOVE a day at EPCOT, but sometimes between the festival crowds and the long wait times, we just need to escape, and we found the perfect place to do so.
Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin
Disney World’s Swan and Dolphin Resort is a hidden oasis to some Disney guests, while others have visited the parks for years without ever thinking of it. While it is not owned by Disney World, instead it’s a Marriott resort, it is located within minutes of both EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. If you’re anything like me, and the parks become overly crowded and the heat is scorching, heading to this resort can turn your whole day around.
Soarin’ Across America is officially open at EPCOT!
The crowds at Soarin’
This new version of Soarin’ flies riders over the East and West coasts, seeing the United States’ natural beauty and iconic cityscapes. While the ride was in a soft opening phase for a few days before its official opening, we wanted to stop by and see if there were any crowds on opening day!
Summer is just around the corner, and if you didn’t know, there are a LOT of reasons why Disney World is the place to be at the start of it!
Rapunzel and Flynn Ryder for Cool Kids’ Summer
If you haven’t heard, TONS of new experiences just started in Disney World for Cool Kids’ Summer! From Animal Kingdom to EPCOT to Disney World hotels, there’s a reason that May 26th is such a huge deal for Disney fans. Let’s take a look at everything happening in the parks, and bookmark this article so you don’t miss a thing!
EPCOT has changed a lot over the past few years, but one thing hasn’t changed: this park has its own rhythm.
EPCOT
Between festivals, World Showcase snacks, and late-night rides, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement and accidentally make your day way harder than it needs to be. Some EPCOT “rules” are official Disney policies. Others are habits seasoned park fans swear by after years of trial and error. If you want a smoother park day with fewer headaches, these are the mistakes you’ll want to avoid on your next visit.
For weeks now, it’s felt like things are changing faster than ever in Disney World, but these past few days? That’s been taken to a WHOLE new level!
Entrance crowds at Hollywood Studios
For months now, we’ve known that May 26th would be a big day in the parks. Not only is it the start of Cool KIDS’ SUMMER, but Disney also set it as the opening date of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, the opening of Bluey’s Wild World, as well as the beginning of the new offerings available at The Walt Disney Studios, among MANY others. Imagine our surprise when, just in the past few days, Disney decided to open some of these new attractions EARLY, and we also got a first look sneak peek at others!
Can you believe it’s almost summer? Memorial Day weekend is here, after all, and that’s usually the start of summer for so many, including us in Disney World.
Churro Waffles
Now, this summer is bringing a LOT of cool things to Disney World, including Cool Kids Summer, as well as a new Muppets ride, a new version of Soarin’ (which opened early!), and so much more. This is a summer of change, and that’s certainly the case at Disney World restaurants, which are busy changing up their menus. So let’s take a look at all the menu updates we spotted this week.
