By 1 Comment

While EPCOT is currently home to some of Walt Disney World’s most popular rides, including Test Track and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, some of the park’s other attractions have us a bit concerned.

As the park enters its latest new era, there are three rides that stand out to those of us on the DFB team as raising red flags for the park’s future.

Disney World Just Got Rid of a Popular EPCOT Snack

By 6 Comments

Disney World is constantly toying around with its restaurant menus, and we often see some of our favorite snacks return…or worse…get taken off menus entirely.

Peanut Butter Whoopie Pie

Now, we’ve witnessed this recently in Magic Kingdom: Columbia Harbour House stopped offering hush puppies for a while, but they eventually came back. We also lost our minds when Sleepy Hollow got rid of the original waffles for Mickey waffles, but those, too, sort of came back. Now, we’ve witnessed the disappearance of one of our favorite snacks in EPCOT…and y’all, we may not be okay.

I Splurged on Two of the Coolest Things You Can Buy in the Italy Pavilion in EPCOT — Here’s What I Bought

By 2 Comments

I go to Disney World a lot. More than most people. I don’t say this to brag — if anything, I go too much. But when you go to the parks as often as I do, you tend to become a little souvenir blind. What does that mean? Well, I’ve seen new t-shirts come and go. I’ve seen more new ears, park bags, and plush characters than I can count. After a while, it all starts to blur together. I’ve gone numb. You can’t impress me with a basic Spirit Jersey, Disney!
