food IS a theme park
Today is a BIG day, my friends. We’ve got our forks at the ready and we’re ready to take on the BEST food across all of EPCOT.
There are plenty of great food options at EPCOT!
Is your stomach growling? Just you WAIT – things are about to get TASTY.
Disney World is a weird and wonderful place with all kinds of opportunities to create fun memories.

Getting to hug Mickey Mouse in real life? Check. Watching Tinker Bell fly overhead after watching Happily Ever After for the first time? Check. Seeing the cutest baby tamarins cling to the back of their mother in Disney’s Animal Kingdom? Check. But sometimes, the best experiences in Disney World are the ones that involve Disney ducks.
Disney World sure knows how to do snacks — but one park, in particular, stands out above the rest.
Food and Wine Festival (2022)
EPCOT is known for its many festivals throughout the year, and they happen to be some of our favorite events. While the Flower & Garden Festival may still be underway, it looks like EPCOT is already preparing for the next one — Food & Wine! We’re not talking menu sneak peeks and merch drops — nope. There’s an even bigger sign that Food & Wine will be here before we know it!
When people imagine Disney World fireworks shows, the nightly “Happily Ever After” show in Magic Kingdom is typically what comes to mind first.
Happily Ever After
However, by limiting yourself to only view the Magic Kingdom fireworks, you’d be missing out on a lot more fun and magic. Fireworks shows at EPCOT take place nightly, and viewers gather around World Showcase Lagoon and World Celebration to watch. A lot of folks prioritize seeing the shows in Magic Kingdom, but don’t necessarily prioritize seeing the EPCOT shows. The reason? Well, a lot of people just don’t realize they even happen — or know specific details regarding the shows! If you’re interested in checking out the EPCOT fireworks on your next Disney World visit, this post is just for you.
We’re heading to Biergarten — where it is always Oktoberfest!
Biergarten
You can find this unique restaurant nestled in the back of the Germany Pavillion at EPCOT. The Biergarten is a theater-style restaurant filled with long, family-style tables. Up on stage, German performers showcase authentic Oktoberfest numbers throughout the day.

Cinderella Castle
Disney parks are constantly changing and evolving to add new rides or restaurants like TRON Lightcycle / Run in Magic Kingdom and Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya coming to EPCOT later this summer. So what changes are coming to Disney World in July 2023? Let’s find out!
Disney World bathrooms are actually quite a controversial topic.
We never knew bathrooms could be so controversial
The bathrooms at the Most Magical Place on Earth truly see all — the makeup re-touches, the makeshift stain removal when you drop a Mickey Bar down the front of your shirt, and even the emergency trips when you’ve had too much dairy. (Trust us, we’ve all been there.) As strange as it may sound, lots of people even have their favorite bathrooms in Disney World. Some are more private, some are cleaner, and some have some pretty great theming. (We’re looking at you, Magic Kingdom Rapunzel Bathrooms. Although Rapunzel does deserve more than a bathroom.) Our reporters ALSO have favorite bathrooms… and they’ll go to great lengths to defend their choices!
A NEW attraction is opening this fall (2023) in EPCOT: Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana.

We’ve been keeping a close eye on construction for this attraction and have seen lots of new rock formations, plenty of foliage, and even what appears to be the entrance go up in World Nature. Now, Disney has released NEW photos of the attraction! [Read more…]
What’s better than Mickey Waffles?
EPCOT
Mickey Waffles with our pal, farmer Mickey (And Pluto, Chip, and Dale)! Thankfully, breakfast has returned to one of our favorite character dining spots — Garden Grill. It’s been a few years since breakfast was offered here, and the menu has changed a little bit since we last visited, so I had to check it out!
We’ve met our fair share of characters in Disney World. From random appearances in the parks to surprise visits at the resorts, you never know where you might run into a Disney character!
Hey, Moana!
During a recent visit to EPCOT, we stumbled upon a BUNCH of friendly Disney characters. The entire interaction was such a blur — and a thrill — that we just had to share it. After all, our experience feels all the more special when we get the chance to show all of YOU what kind of surprise Disney magic you may find on your next visit to the parks. Now, come with us!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
