food IS a theme park
Disney World is going through some MASSIVE changes right now, between new lands, rides, restaurants, and a whole lot more.
EPCOT
While most of those changes are still a ways away, updates are coming even sooner to EPCOT. Whether you already have a trip to this park planned for this summer or are still thinking about making the jump, trust us when we say you’re going to want to check out these changes coming to EPCOT soon!

Spring just has a way of making everything feel fresh again — flowers start blooming, the weather warms up, and there’s a little extra magic in the air.
Spring is in the air!
It’s also the perfect time to revisit sweet, nostalgic Disney classics like Bambi. With its soft colors, forest setting, and heartwarming story, it’s a movie that really feels like spring. Disney fans can bring that same cozy charm into their style with a new Bambi Loungefly collection that’s cute and classic.
The 2026 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival has been underway for a while now, but there are still NEW menu items to try!

The good news is, Disney has you covered when it comes to preparing. There’s an entire new collection online right now to help you prepare for Star Wars Day, but we’ll warn you — we have a feeling some of it is going to go fast, so act now and grab them while you can!
When it comes to eating around Disney World, you’re likely thinking about all the Disney-specific snacks you want to grab. That’s great, don’t get us wrong, as they are unique to the resort, but if you’re traveling for a longer trip, you may find yourself looking for something more generic that reminds you of home a little more.
There’s never a bad time for ice cream!
We know, you may be sitting there going, “What?! No, I’ll never get tired of the Disney food, that’s a big reason why I’m going!” We 100% get that, but take it from us — we’re in the parks EVERY day, and our team members who don’t live locally travel in pretty often, and they’ll tell you firsthand that if your trip is 5+ days, you’ll eventually be craving something normal. One of the best places to head for a generic sweet treat in Disney Springs is none other than Häagen-Dazs, even though this spot is often overlooked!
Disney Visa Card Members, we have some exciting news for you that can save you some money!

Tucked inside the Morocco Pavilion at EPCOT, Restaurant Marrakesh has long been a hidden gem that has been closed for years, and we have the perfect idea to revitalize it.
Morocco Pavilion in EPCOT
Since the closing of Disney World in 2020, this once vibrant dining spot has remained largely closed, only occasionally reopening as overflow seating during festivals like the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival or as a lounge space for Annual Passholders. And while we’ve appreciated having access to the space in any capacity, we can’t help but feel like it’s time for something more permanent. and honestly, something transformative.
