food IS a theme park
RED ALERT! Yesterday, we shared that another booth would be opening at the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival! So, of course we made our way to EPCOT to check it out.

But, when we arrived, it was not at all what we expected!
We’re sloooooooowly seeing the return of more and more of our favorite Disney World restaurants. We recently got to chow down for the reopening of Cinderella’s Royal Table in Magic Kingdom and Hollywood & Vine in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Chefs de France
Plus, did you know that ABC Commissary in Hollywood Studios opened TODAY!? And it’s not the only one. One of our FAVORITE Disney World table-service restaurants has strolled back onto the scene. Chefs de France is OPEN!
The 2020 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is a little bit different than the ones from past years.
Chocolate Studio Booth
No, we may not have the same great entertainment we’re used to, and yes, it is weird to do Food & Wine with all of the health procedures. But we CAN still visit OVER 20 Food & Wine Festival Booths around the World Showcase — and now another favorite booth is set to return!
Hello world travelers! We took a trip to EPCOT to see what’s been going on around the park!

Last time, we saw more construction walls and a few new food items! Let’s take a look at what’s new in food, construction, and merchandise!
If you’ve ever stepped inside the American Adventure Pavilion at EPCOT, chances are you’ve heard some lovely a capella singing from the Voices of Liberty.

This INSANELY talented group of singers is currently not performing at Disney, BUT they just released their second album online!
The 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival has been in full swing since Disney World’s reopening in July, and so much merchandise has been released. That’s a given, though, especially since this is the festival’s 25th anniversary.

We’ve spotted all kinds of new Food & Wine merch in the park, and now, tons of those items have found their way online.
Last week, Disney announced layoffs that are set to affect thousands of its employees in the Disney Parks, Experiences and Products division of the Walt Disney Company.

The announcement itself came from Josh D’Amaro, the current chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products.

This show has been on our minds for a WHILE and with the park closures, we’re not too sure when we’ll finally get to see it hit the waters of World Showcase Lagoon. So, it’s pretty exciting whenever we see a potential sign of work on the area of Harmonious — and we saw a sign today!
Yesterday, we got the chance to sing along with all of our Frozen friends at the newly reopened For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration in Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Frozen Show
This is one of the few spots you can see the Frozen sisters these days — the others being the Frozen Promenade cavalcade and the Frozen Ever After ride, both of which are in EPCOT. If you’re headed to Disney World in early November, however, you’ll have one less spot to catch up with your pals from Arendelle.
This Disney World tradition might look a little different this year, but The Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is officially in full swing, and now, some of the merchandise themed to the 2020 event is finally finding its way online.
Festival Market
Included in that merch is a certain pair of (very adorable) Minnie ears that have now appeared on shopDisney!
