food IS a theme park
runDisney events always bring a certain kind of magic to the parks. From people showing off their medals and posting pictures of their achievements, runDisney welcomes a new crowd of guests to the parks.
EPCOT
While we love the fun energy, the race courses going right through the parks can also cause park closures and traffic!
We often tell you to check the Disney World park hours the week leading up to and even every single day of your trip.
EPCOT
Why? Well, because if you’ve booked your trip a year in advance, things may happen between the time you booked your trip and your actual travel dates. In fact, Disney is known to adjust its park hours all the time. Sometimes, it’s due to after-hours testing, or more often, a company may rent out a park for a special event (or the parks can close early for one of Disney’s special events like their Halloween and holiday parties or after-hours events). If you’re heading to EPCOT in October, it’s imperative you know that the park will be closing EARLY one day!
SURPRISE! We’ve got some BIG news, EPCOT fans! After a years-long transformation project that resulted in new rides, new nighttime entertainment, and new spaces, EPCOT has come a long way since it opened in 1982. But there’s still more change on the horizon!
EPCOT
In fact, Disney just dropped some BIG news about the future of EPCOT. Keep in mind that the details are still pretty limited, but this latest announcement already has fans talking. We can’t wait to see these changes come to life! But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We need to tell you what’s NEW!
Disney has already started gearing up for the 2024 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival and we can’t wait!
2023 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
This summertime festival is the BIGGEST one of the year, bringing tons of food booths, a concert series, and all kinds of themed entertainment to the park. Disney has been keeping the full list of booths and menus a secret, but we’ve already gotta share some bad news about this year’s Food & Wine Festival!
We’re getting hyped up for a popular event returning to EPCOT next month — the International Food & Wine Festival!
2023 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
It’s one of the biggest draws of the year, bringing thousands of people to the park to taste the dishes from around the world. And now that EPCOT’s transformation is complete, we can’t wait to see how the festival is going to be even bigger and better! But if you’re curious about the FOOD, Disney recently dropped a major clue.
It is an exciting day at Disney World! There are lots of new changes debuting including the beginning of the 30th Anniversary Celebration of The Lion King at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, a new meet and greet at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and the grand opening of CommuniCore Hall & Plaza in EPCOT.
The EPCOT map got a big update!
We had the opportunity to get a sneak peek at this new space last night, and now the CommuniCore Hall and Plaza area is finally open for everyone TODAY.
Friends…it’s FINALLY TIME!
EPCOT
We’ve been waiting YEARS for EPCOT’s Transformation to be complete, and now, another huge step forward has been taken — Communicore Hall and Communicore Plaza open on June 10th — and we got to go inside to bring you this preview!
If you’ve kept up with DFB for a little while, you know that we love EPCOT as a whole, but there’s one section in the Germany Pavilion that holds a special place in our hearts.
Tiny EPCOT Train Town
The Germany Pavilion is where you can find our beloved Tiny Train Town! Upon first glance, this train town may look like your average, everyday small town, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Especially recently!
Spaceship Earth is joining the celebration at the 2024 EPCOT Festival of the Arts!
Spaceship Earth
We’ve had a great time at this year’s festival checking out the food, entertainment, merchandise, and everything else that comes with the festival experience. If you stay late, right before the park closes, you’ll also be able to catch a special show on Spaceship Earth that’s exclusive to the festival!
HURRY! You only have a few days left to get these AMAZING snacks in EPCOT!
Turkey Poutine
