food IS a theme park
Disney World has been extending a lot of its park hours lately.
Magic Kingdom
It started with a few weekend hours, Halloween hours, and even into the holiday season. Now, Disney has released more hours into 2021!
We’re still shocked that some popular restaurants have not reopened at Disney World (come back to us Casey’s Corner!), but little by little more spots are starting to reopen.
Spaceship Earth
Recently, at EPCOT Chefs de France in the France pavilion reopened, as well as Pizza al Taglio in the Italy pavilion. Now, a quick service spot in another EPCOT pavilion is back up and running!
As Halloween activities have taken over Disney World, the parks have been getting busier and busier.

And that means that Halloween park passes have also been going fast for pretty much everyone!
There are a few attractions coming to EPCOT that we’re excited about, but the most imminent is Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure!
Ratatouille Ride Vehicle
This France Pavilion attraction was originally supposed to open in Summer 2020 but was pushed back due to the global health crisis. Now, the opening is unknown but it looks like Imagineers are applying finishing touches to the exterior theming elements!
Oh, EPCOT… How do we love thee? Let us count the ways.
Spaceship Earth
We love thee for all the staples (Spaceship Earth, festivals) and for all of the NEW things. And hey, let’s see what IS new in jolly ol’ EPCOT!
A lot changed after Disney World reopened this summer. We’ve seen several BIG events get canceled, while others, such as EPCOT’s International Food and Wine Festival, have been altered to account for new health and safety guidelines.
Christmas Tree in Epcot
We recently learned that EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays is still very much a GO but, like the Food and Wine Fest, it’s going to be different from previous years. Don’t worry, though — the Holiday Cookie Stroll is still on! Whew! We shared a lot of new information regarding the Festival of the Holidays today, and some of it was pretty unexpected. Here’s what you might have missed…
Just over a year ago we first discovered our sweet, gooey, beloved Werther’s Original Caramel made fresh daily at Karamell-Küche in EPCOT’s German had gotten an adult twist. Boozy caramels were born.
Karamell-Küche
We laughed. We cried. We ate a lot of caramel that day. It was a glorious day. Well, friends, the caramel-scented angels over there have worked their magic once again and given us a REMIX of the boozy caramel flight. Now we can chew our booze in four all NEW flavors! 😉
Oh…you thought we were done with all the exciting Festival of the Holidays news?! Well, we weren’t!!
Epcot’s Festival of the Holidays
We have already shared details on ALL the booths, we’ve announced the return of the Cookie Stroll, AND we shared the mega exciting details about the new Olaf Scavenger Hunt. Now, we’re back with a few entertainment details.
We’ve loved seeing our favorite characters ride (or in poor Elsa’s case…WALK by herself!) around World Showcase in EPCOT.
Elsa in EPCOT. Someone Give This Girl a RIDE!
While we didn’t see a Halloween themed Promenade make its way around World Showcase, we now know what festive character experiences we’ll see this Holiday Season!
It may still be Halloween time but Disney World is fully starting to shift its eyes to Christmas.
Cookie Stroll Plate
We know the International Festival of the Holidays in EPCOT will be returning this year — without the beloved Candlelight Processional — and now we know another favorite that WILL be returning: the Cookie Stroll!
