food IS a theme park
Figment fans are going to be running to EPCOT to get a brand-new souvenir…but is it worth it?
Figment Bubble Machine
A new bubble machine has just landed at EPCOT, and it comes in the form of the beloved purple dragon who’s all about imagination!
Wanna drink “around the world” in EPCOT on your next Disney trip? Well, you need to read this FIRST.

Drinking around the world is a popular challenge for folks doing bachelor/bachelorette trips, 21st birthdays, or just traveling with other adults. If done right, it can be accomplished, but you have to be careful about how you tackle it. Today, we’re sharing the full guide to drinking around EPCOT’s World Showcase!
Recently, Disney has announced new lands, attractions, and entertainment headed to the theme parks, new ships coming to the Disney Cruise Line, and so much more. But, what about those projects that Disney hasn’t exactly announced yet?
EPCOT
Keeping up with the latest construction permits Disney World files can be a great way to find out just what is going on around the parks and hotels, and we recently spotted some you might want to know about!
If you’ve ever walked through the France Pavilion in EPCOT and felt completely overwhelmed by the pastry case at Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie, you are not alone.
Les Halles Boulangerie Pâtisserie
There’s so much going on in there that it’s genuinely easy to overlook something spectacular, and that’s exactly what almost happened to us with the Citron. We’d never heard of it. The people standing in line around us had never heard of it either. It wasn’t showing up in the My Disney Experience app, which is probably a big part of why it flies so far under the radar. But it was right there on the menu board, sitting pretty at $7.95, and we figured we had nothing to lose. We’re so glad we went for it.
What is your favorite Disney World ride? 62% of you just said Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind — I mean, I don’t have proof of that, just a hunch. Ever since this ride opened, Disney fans have fallen in love with it, and we know why.
Cosmic Rewind
For many, it’s a must-do every single EPCOT day. But once you’ve ridden it a handful of times, you start noticing things and wishing Disney would tweak a few things. We have some thoughts about what we would love to see changed here. We can’t promise that Disney will make these happen, but this is us politely asking Disney to consider these improvements!
When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. Want something quick and easy? You’ve got it. Something middle-of-the-road and comforting? Yep, that too. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious, you can find that as well.
Garden House
We recently stopped by Garden House in EPCOT’s Japan Pavilion to try some NEW drinks, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Are they worth a stop on your next trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth? Find out here!
When it comes to heavy Disney news cycles, some months stand out more than others. March 2026 was one of those months.
Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin
So much happened in March that it’s tough to know where to begin. Some new Bluey snacks are coming to the Disney Parks, Disney+ has added vertical videos to its platform, new discounts were announced, a certain ABC dating show had its season canceled before its premiere after significant controversy, some upcoming Disney blockbuster films got official release dates, and the new Disney cruise ship — the Disney Believe — was announced! It’s safe to say that March was PACKED with important news. However, what stuck with us most was the revelation of some important dates we need to circle in our Disney World calendars.
Ask a Disney Parks fan how they feel about movie-based attractions and you are not getting a simple answer. You are getting a full monologue, three examples, one deeply personal EPCOT grievance, and possibly a dramatic sigh. This debate has been simmering for years, but lately it has started to feel a lot less like fan speculation and a lot more like Disney’s actual blueprint.

That is because Disney has not exactly been coy about where things are headed. In 2024, Bob Iger said that “almost all” of Disney’s investment in park lands and attractions would be built around IP. Then, at Disney’s 2025 shareholders meeting, the company highlighted a pipeline packed with IP-driven projects, including Cars and a Villains land at Magic Kingdom, a Monsters, Inc. land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Tropical Americas at Disney’s Animal Kingdom with Encanto and Indiana Jones in the mix. In other words, this is no longer just a fan fear, or a fan dream, depending on which side of the argument you live on. It is very much the plan.
We went to EPCOT for a new drink at La Cava del Tequila, when something new caught our eye!

We just found our favorite new piece of Disney merch hiding in plain sight in the Mexico Pavilion!
For the first time in what feels like forever, Disney didn’t have any major closures or massive changes happen in the past week, and there aren’t a number of them lined up for this week either!
A closure is hitting Disney Springs this week!
Now, three out of the four parks are still majorly under construction, meaning there are walls practically everywhere, and this week, one store is closing in Disney Springs, but it feels like we’re officially towards reopenings versus closures, which is a HUGE achievement.
