food IS a theme park
Hello, DFB friends, from EPCOT! We took a walk around the park to see what was new since the last time we visited, so are you ready? Because there’s A LOT of ground to cover here… .

J/K LOL! There’s not TOO too much going on that’s new in EPCOT from our last walk, but what we did find is super fun!
Since Labor Day weekend, we’ve slowly started to see the parks become more crowded than they were right after Disney World reopened this summer.
EPCOT Crowds
According to Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Chapek, the parks are still operating at a 25% capacity with guests. However, we have definitely noticed that weekends are noticeably some of the more crowded days at Disney World right now.
Things have been a bit busy in Disney World this past weekend. Lots of folks have today off work and for some, that means a day at Disney.
EPCOT China
We were shopping our way around the World Showcase in EPCOT today, as we tend to do. With the holiday weekend, EPCOT definitely had its fair share of crowds, and we spotted a surprising development at one of the merchandise spots in the China Pavilion!
Splash Mountain is set to get a Princess and the Frog re-theming at some point in the future, but for the moment the attraction is still running in Magic Kingdom in its current form.
Splash Mountain
We’ve seen extremely long lines for Splash Mountain merchandise in the past, but today the line for Splash Mountain itself was so long it had us saying “my oh my, what a CRAZY day!”
Since the Walt Disney World theme parks reopened a few months ago, we’ve seen various changes including the introduction of systems like the Park Pass Reservation System and the suspension of Fastpass+.
Christmas At Magic Kingdom
The holiday experience at Disney World has also changed significantly. Just recently, we shared some updates with you about the upcoming Christmastime entertainment and offerings that will be available at Disney World this year, but there’s also quite a few Christmas staples that guests won’t be able to experience.
Throughout Labor Day weekend, we’ve seen Disney parks hit their capacity limits and we even got a first-hand look at the crowds in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Magic Kingdom Entrance
Today, we made our way over to Magic Kingdom to see what the crowds were like over there. Come along with us on a journey to the Most Magical Place on Earth on a rather busy weekend!
Since Disney World’s reopening, Labor Day is the first holiday being celebrated in the parks (even though Halloween entertainment, treats, and more have started to pop up!).
Disney’s Hollywood Studios on Labor Day
Disney Park Pass availability for Labor Day Weekend kept seeing some changes with Saturday and Sunday of this weekend being listed as sold out across the board for ALL guests (note right now VERY limited Passes look like they’re available!). We HAD to take a look at what the first holiday weekend was like back in Disney World!
We’ve been scouting out how shopping, dining, and transportation has changed at Walt Disney World.
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run Queue
Now, what do people look forward to the most when they come to Disney? (Well, besides the food.) The rides, of course! What’s Disney World without Space Mountain, Tower of Terror, and Pirates of the Caribbean? It’s a huge, empty land filled only with Mickey Pretzels and churros. Actually, that doesn’t sound too bad. 😉 Nevertheless, we checked out a few of the most popular attractions at all four parks and are reporting back on ALL the updates. [Read more…]
Can you believe all four Disney World theme parks are finally open for the first time in many months?
Tree of Life
It’s been a totally surreal experience being back at Disney World, but we’ve been on a mission to see how Disney is addressing the health and safety concerns of every guest and Cast Member inside the newly reopened parks.
Moments ago, we showed you what the crowd levels looked like at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, but now it’s time to get some perspective on what EPCOT’s like on the first day of ITS historical grand reopening!
A Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival
Not to mention, today is the first day of A Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival featuring more than 20 marketplace food booths scattered throughout the World Showcase. Let’s see who’s arrived to do some wining and dining!
