food IS a theme park
We spotted several fun new additions at Mouse Gear today!
Mouse Gear
EPCOT has been on fire when it comes to new merch lately! We’ve seen adorable new Macaron Minnie Ears, a Norway Spirit Jersey, Viking Mickey Ears, and MORE! But World Showcase isn’t the only place we’ve spotted fun new merchandise!
When we’re not munching on something (which is rare) we’ve been getting the scoop on all of Disney World’s newest snack-themed merchandise!
Ice Cream Bar Fan!
From Mickey Ice Cream Bar fans to giant Macaron Minnie ears, there has been no shortage of souvenirs for food lovers such as ourselves to choose from!
We love catching a glimpse of the construction going on at EPCOT’s France pavilion from our eyes in the sky — Disney Skyliner!
France Construction
But today we couldn’t believe how much progress they’ve made! Before you proceed, click here to see what the France pavilion looked like back in February of this year so you can compare!
One of our top tips for visiting Disney World is to make sure you stay HYDRATED!
Free Cup of Water
And while guests can get free cups of water at quick service restaurants around the parks, we like to bring along a reusable water bottle as well to make sure we’ve got a backup stash! So, when we spotted some cute new water bottles on our visit to EPCOT today, we just had to share!
Ah EPCOT, the land of festivals and food (oh, and some pretty amazing rides too)!
EPCOT
As we walked around EPCOT today, we noticed one of the 2020 Taste of Epcot International Food and Wine Festival food booths had closed down. But, as they say, when one snack spot closes, another one opens! (They totally say that right?) Well, we found a newly reopened snack spot in EPCOT that can satisfy some of your basic Disney snack needs!
We can’t believe EPCOT has been open for almost an entire month now!
Food and Wine Festival
Time really flies when you’re out and about enjoying the Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival.
This year the festival features over 2o signature global marketplaces scattered throughout the World Showcase this year!
The Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival has been underway since the park reopened on July 15th!
Food and Wine Festival
So far, we’ve managed to stuff our faces silly with every food and drink item at this year’s festival! If you don’t believe us, you can read our FULL review of each and every food booth HERE! But as of this morning, it looks like one festival booth has been temporarily decommissioned!
The EPCOT Transformation seems to be hitting its stride now that the park has been reopened for a while.
EPCOT
Earlier today, we stopped by the front of EPCOT’s to check out the new pylons that have just been installed for World Celebration’s reimagined fountain. But that’s not all the progress that has been made.
Need something cute to cool you down this August?
Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bar at Disney World
We’ve been checking out all the goods at EPCOT in Walt Disney World! We’ve been especially lucky while perusing Mouse Gear. Last year, a few snack fans debuted at Disney World. Now, another option has popped up.
Last year, Disney announced EPCOT would be undergoing a multi-year transformation.

The park would ultimately be divided into four distinct “neighborhoods”: World Celebration, World Nature, World Discovery, and World Showcase. Many shops, restaurants, and experiences located in Future World were closed or relocated shortly before the temporary closures occurred.
