food IS a theme park
Guests heading to Disney World in late January will now be able to enjoy a little extra time in the parks.
Cinderella Castle
We’ve been keeping a close eye on the Disney World park hours as they’ve been released. But even after the initial hours are posted, Disney will occasionally extend select park hours as the dates approach.
Another month down in Walt Disney World and we’re into the new year!
EPCOT
We’re taking a look back at December. Sure, we had some holiday treats and a bunch of fun times in Disney World — but there were also some things we DIDN’T see coming! Here are the three most unexpected things that happened in Disney World last month!
We’ve had a WONDERFUL day eating and drinking our way around the 2021 Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts!
2021 Festival of the Arts
This year’s festival runs January 8th through February 22nd and, like all the other recent festivals, it looks a little different from years past. With health measures abound, some adjustments have been made. Still, we got to CHOW DOWN today at more 16 Food Studios and additional locations and we made it through every single menu!
It’s time to get artsy, friends! The 2021 Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts has officially kicked off in Disney World (and we’re take you with us LIVE)!
Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine
Although the Festival of the Holidays just ended in EPCOT, the Festival of the Arts is changing gears to feature the culinary, visual, and performing arts. And, a fun activity for the entire family — the Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine — is back this year. Last year, we explored the Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine to see if it was worth spending the money on. Now, we’re back to explore it again.
It’s finally time for the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts!
EPCOT Festival of the Arts
This artsy annual staple is back as of today, with delicious eats and enchanting art! Plus, there’s plenty of live entertainment to check out and we’re taking you on a tour!
One of the most unique food booths we’ve seen at an EPCOT Festival is The Deconstructed Dish!
Deconstructed Dish
After being introduced in 2018, this booth is best known for deconstructing fan-favorite dishes! When this was announced as returning to the festival this year, we knew we had to try ALL of the eats they have to offer.
Unexpected downtimes for Disney World rides and attractions are not uncommon and happen on an almost daily basis. However, unannounced full-day closures are more rare and a bit head-scratching, especially with no explanation. We just experienced a bizarre multi-day closure over at Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, with the ride reopening just a couple of days ago.

This morning while checking out the first day of the 2021 Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, we noticed that Frozen Ever After was temporarily closed. No bother, we would just check back later in the day!
Who’s ready for a delicious coffee crawl??
2021 Passport
Today marks the first day of the 2021 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. And while we’ve been having a ton of fun checking out all of the Food Studios, there are also some sneaky festival snacks hiding at permanent locations throughout the park!
Today is certainly a busy day in EPCOT!

The 2021 Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts has officially started! Naturally, we’re checking out all the artistic eats, specialty merch, and entertainment. Plus, an exciting construction update also caught our eye!
We’ve made it no secret that we LOVE trying goodies from Karamell-Küche at EPCOT’s Germany Pavilion.
Karamell-Küche
And we’ve tried (and loved) a lot of caramel-y goodness there, including a Salted Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookie, Caramel Mickey Marshmallow Wand, and Caramel Pumpkin Cupcake. Now it’s time to gather by the campfire (no fire really needed) because we’re about to mix marshmallow goodness with chocolate and graham crackers for a Caramel S’more. [Read more…]
