food IS a theme park
Universal’s 4th of July is about to get EPIC!
We, my friends, have fireworks
As Universal’s new theme park enters its first summer season, Epic Universe seems prepped to ring in its inaugural Independence Day with a BANG!
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.
Test Track is speeding back into EPCOT this summer — but it’s not the same ride you remember.
Test Track
After over a year of being closed, Test Track is finally reopening at EPCOT on July 22nd, 2025, and yes, there are some big changes in store. From new rules in the queue to a reshuffling of Lightning Lane access, Disney is rolling out a fresh new version of this thrill ride — and with it, some fresh new systems you’ll want to understand before you show up ready to race. Here’s a quick breakdown of the changes you can expect when Test Track 3.0 hits the pavement.
Don’t look now, EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival is starting next month!
Food and Wine Festival
Disney has been dropping news regarding the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival including confirmed foods, new merchandise, and unfortunately, even price increases. However, the most exciting news was the lineup for who will be performing at Eat to the Beat!
An iconic part of most Disney World vacations is watching fireworks with the ones you love.
Happily Ever After in Magic Kingdom
Magic Kingdom is the heart of Walt Disney World — where fairy tales come to life, nostalgia runs deep, and the day traditionally ends with a spectacular fireworks show lighting up the sky above Cinderella Castle. For many guests, watching the fireworks is a must-do moment, and over the years, certain “rules” have formed around the best way to experience them. But the truth is, those rules don’t work for everyone. Whether you’re trying to avoid the crowds, looking for a new perspective, or simply too tired to stick it out, there are plenty of ways to make the fireworks work for you, including breaking a few of the so-called rules.
Is it too early to start talking about the most wonderful time of the year? It’s not our fault, Disney’s already talking about EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, and now we’re excited!
Festival of the Holidays
One thing that we wish more people knew about at Disney is the Voices of Liberty; we LOVE them! They’re an amazing group of singers that you’ll find at the American Pavilion. They sing iconic American songs, absolutely captivating their audience with an outstanding performance. On top of that, the Voices of Liberty also perform during the holiday season — and we have some news for you!
Y’all. It’s almost time for the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, which will run from August 28th through November 22nd — and WE ARE READY.
