food IS a theme park
EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival has begun, and we’re bringing you the best of the best when it comes to what to eat, tips on how to see your favorite bands, all the things you cannot miss, and so much more.
Hello from the Food and Wine Festival!
EPCOT is very busy right now, thanks to the start of the 2023 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival.
EPCOT Food & Wine Festival
We were at the festival on day one and ate ALL the things, and we started to notice that some unwelcome visitors have returned to EPCOT to create some buzz (yes, we’re feeling punny). We’ve dealt with these creatures before, and well, they’re back to create some havoc at this year’s festival. Yes, you guessed it — the BEES are back.
Are you ready for some MORE festival fun?!
2023 Booth
The 2023 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival has officially kicked off and we’re here to see it ALL! We’ve eaten SO much at the food booths around the festival, scoured a lot of merchandise in the gift shops, and even scoped out the entertainment. And now we’re heading to one of our old favorites — the Mexico booth — to give you the FULL scoop! Is it worth a try? Let’s find out!
If you can help it, DO NOT pay full price for your Disney World vacation. Whether you take advantage of a Disney hotel discount, a dining promotion, or a merchandise deal, there is pretty much always a way to save a little money. Why pay extra when there is money to be SAVED?
Disney Springs
Over in Disney Springs, there are two special deals happening now you may not know about. Don’t worry, though, that’s why we’re here to help. To the Springs!
Do you hear that? Is that the faint sound of ba-la-la-la-la we hear in the distance? That can only mean one thing; Disney’s NEW Big Hero 6 land, officially known as San Fransokyo Square at Disney California Adventure, is one step closer to opening! So far, we’ve seen some areas start to open ahead of the official grand opening, like The Lucky Fortune Cookery. We even got the chance to try some of the NEW menu items!
Disney California Adventure
Now we’re back at Disney California Adventure to check in on the progress! San Fransokyo Square is set to officially open on August 31, 2023, in Disneyland Resort, but that doesn’t mean we can’t start celebrating a little early!
We all love meeting Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, and Pluto around the Disney World parks, but there’s something extra sweet about meeting the Disney princesses; they seem to put a smile on our faces! Who doesn’t love chatting with Belle about the latest book she’s reading or discussing thingamabobs with Ariel?
Belle in France
If you love the Disney princesses (or just enjoy being treated like royalty), you might want to listen up. World Princess Week is returning to the Disney parks this year, and now we’ve got a look at ALLLLLL the special foods and drinks coming to the parks in honor of the big event.
While many Disney parks are known for their bars, taverns, and lounges (or little food booths if you’re in EPCOT), there are still some places where alcohol is hard to come by. Back in the early days of Disney, Disneyland Resort and Magic Kingdom were dry parks. That’s right; there was a time when you couldn’t even get a beer in Magic Kingdom!
Disneyland Resort
Today, things have changed, though, and now it seems like more alcohol is coming to a park known for its lack of alcoholic beverages. This is BIG news, so buckle up.
We love a good throwback, and this time, we’re throwing it as far back as we possibly can…to opening day of Walt Disney World!
Orange bird ornament
Orange Bird is a popular character in Disney World, with lots of merchandise and treats dedicated to him. But did you know when Magic Kingdom first opened there was a drink dedicated to him? And now you can make it at home! [Read more…]
We’ve found a soft side to the Disney villains, and they’re giving us a “taste” of what it’s like to be bad like them!
Villains gotta eat, too!
We’re over here anxiously counting down until the Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Parties start back for the 2023 year so we can get our SCARE on, but finding things to do in the meantime is hard. We also found a few festive Disney Halloween decorations to help get us in the mood and celebrate from home. So that got us thinking, is there anything else out there that could have us chillin’ like a villain? [Read more…]
It’s been an incredibly hot summer at Disney World, but we just tried a few NEW treats that will help you cool off!
Italy Pavilion
EPCOT has been busy gearing up for the 2023 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, which is getting ready to kick off SOON! One of the countries in the World Showcase has also been busy working on some boozy new menu items. We recently had a chance to try out a few of the latest treats to help you decide if they may be worth the splurge. [Read more…]
