food IS a theme park
Being a D23 Gold Member comes with all sorts of perks and benefits! Now, there’s a new experience coming to EPCOT that D23 Members CAN’T miss — it involves food!
EPCOT
There’s an exclusive tasting event happening in the Mexico Pavilion at EPCOT for D23 Members, with a D23 Member-exclusive cocktail! You’re going to need to grab your ticket for the event, and we seriously wouldn’t recommend waiting on this.
The Mexico Pavilion at EPCOT is one of those places that feels like you’ve stepped into an entirely different world.
Mexico Pavilion at EPCOT
Inside, you’ll find dim lantern lighting, bustling shops, and the sound of a mariachi band echoing in the background, all under a sky that’s permanently painted twilight. But as magical as this spot is, it also comes with a few quirks that can turn your outfit choice into a total win—or a total regret. That’s why we’re breaking down five unspoken outfit rules you’ll want to keep in mind before you set foot in the Mexico Pavilion.
EPCOT’s World Showcase is one of the most unique and immersive experiences at Disney World — where else can you stroll through 11 different countries in a single afternoon?

From sipping frozen margaritas in Mexico to grabbing fresh baguettes in France, it’s a dream for parkgoers who love culture, food, and a little globe-trotting magic. But with all that exploring comes a few sneaky rules and logistics you’ll want to know ahead of time — especially if you’re rolling in with a stroller.
EPCOT has become a beloved destination for Disney adults. Here we can find not just nostalgia, but some world-class food, drinks, and immersive cultural experiences.
EPCOT
With its World Showcase offering everything from authentic cuisine to creative cocktails, EPCOT is often considered the most “grown-up” of the Disney parks. For many, it’s a tradition to “Drink Around the World,” sampling beverages from each pavilion. But as this trend grows, some longtime fans are noticing a problem starting right at the first stop: Mexico.
Extra, extra, read all about it! Seriously, we’re sure Disney World hasn’t had a wink of sleep because it has dropped so many new updates this week. If you’ve missed out, this is your chance to catch up!

Who says adults can’t have fun at Disney?
Hello, EPCOT!
That’s especially true in EPCOT, where there are multiple festivals happening at different times of the year (we’re gearing up for the Food & Wine Festival starting soon!) that bring in even more delicious food than what’s already being offered on a daily basis! And if you’re a fan of sipping on a cocktail while you wander around World Showcase, La Cava del Tequila in the Mexico pavilion has a drink you’ve got to check out!
If you’ve ever been on the classic EPCOT attraction in the Mexico pavilion (A.K.A. the Gran Fiesta Tour), you know that Donald Duck is kind of a big deal. There was a period of time when he was missing from the attraction (and replaced with a PLANT!), but thankfully, he returned safe and sound. Speaking of returning, we’ve been saying hello to all sorts of Disney characters today, including Joy and Vanellope von Schweetz!
Gran Fiesta Tour
Now, we’re happy to report that another character is back in EPCOT! We can FINALLY answer the age-old question, “¿Dónde está Donald?”
Does anyone else remember the Black Magic Margarita?
