food IS a theme park
Hi, DFB friends, were you wondering what’s new at EPCOT? Wonder no more!
Spaceship Earth is a Beacon of Magic for the 50th Anniversary!
We’re here with news from EPCOT and what has changed in the park, so let’s jump in!
We’ve tried some pretty wild and over-the-top treats in Disney World the past few days!
Dumbo Churros…encrusted with peanuts!
We’ve had sundaes piled high with every Disney snack known to man, hot dogs topped with funnel cake pieces, and more blue cupcakes than we’ll ever be able to count. But the party doesn’t stop there! Today, we headed to EPCOT to try a rather pricey treat that you can only find in one very special location.
Disney World announced a new Annual Passholder program last month that had several changes from the old one.
Annual Passes in action!
One thing that changed was the number of park pass reservations that Annual Passholders could have at one time. Before, the limit was three, but now it’s between three and five reservations, depending on what level of pass you have. But you can sometimes have MORE than that, if you use the bonus park pass reservations that are available on certain days! Disney World just announced more bonus reservations for Annual Passholders — and the dates are coming up fast.
Is it just us or was September the longest month ever?
Seasonal Pancakes — Pumpkin
Maybe it’s because we just couldn’t wait for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration to kick-off so that we could eat all the new foods in the parks. We also had a TON of restaurant menu changes, reopenings, and more!
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure officially opened at EPCOT on October 1st after a few weeks of previews. This new family-friendly dark ride takes guests on a spinning adventure through the world of Pixar’s Ratatouille and can be found in the new France Pavilion expansion in World Showcase.

What’s a new ride at Disney World without accompanying merchandise? We’ve already gotten a look at a ton of new Remy souvenirs at EPCOT, but today we checked out even MORE goodies!
This past week has been a BIG one for Disney World, specifically EPCOT! The park celebrated its 39th Anniversary on October 1st (the same day as the big 5-0 in Magic Kingdom), and its anniversary was greeted by new fireworks, new dining experiences, and much more!

A lot has happened in EPCOT since we last checked in on what was new, including the premiere of a NEW fireworks show, Harmonious! Let’s recap what else is new in EPCOT this week.
There are a lot of ways to give your Disney World vacation that extra-special touch courtesy of Disney Signature Services. Whether it’s a behind-the-scenes tour, a relaxing day at the spa, or private VIP tours, there are tons of ways to take your vacation to the next level.

It looks like Signature Services is taking part in Disney World’s 50th Anniversary now with a NEW, limited-time VIP Tour that highlights the parks and resort’s rich history!
Happy October! After MONTHS of preparing and waiting for the 50th Anniversary Celebration this month, it’s finally here! So much has changed in Disney World since the beginning of the year; it would take a novel to break down all the changes and announcements since January.
Disney’s New Enchantment Fireworks Show
Instead, let’s look back at all the new things we found out in September! (There’s a lot — see if you remembered it all!)
This past month has been one to remember when it comes to Disney World dining! From new restaurants opening to new menu items STILL showing up at the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival, it feels like this has been one of the most jam-packed foodie months of 2021!
Cinderella Castle
Of course, with all of that food we’re trying out, there are going to be some winners…and unfortunately some losers. Today, we’re revisiting some of our top and bottom picks for what we had in the month of September around Disney World!
There are two new ways to experience Harmonious, the brand-new nighttime spectacular at EPCOT. If standing along World Showcase Lagoon just won’t cut it and you’re looking to add a little something special to your evening, new dining packages are available for booking at both Rose & Crown Dining Room in the U.K. Pavilion as well as Spice Road Table in the Morocco Pavilion.
EPCOT
We chose to experience Harmonious from Rose & Crown Dining Room recently, and we wanted to share our experience and our thoughts with you today to discuss whether or not it’s worth the price tag!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
