food IS a theme park
We’ve seen a bunch of lovely new France-inspired merchandise debut at EPCOT recently.
France
We’re talking everything from coffee mugs shaped like the Eiffel Tower to crossbody bags resembling a love letter to France.
Bonjour once more from EPCOT’s France pavilion!

We’re back at Souvenirs de France (the gift shop nestled next to Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie). And — in addition to all the new goodies we found here earlier this week — there are already a LOT of new additions to the mix! We’ll be sharing our finds throughout the day. But we wanted to take a moment to put the spotlight on the brand new “Oh là là” Spirit Jersey! [Read more…]
We spotted A TON of new merchandise in EPCOT today!
France Pavilion
From adorable new youth shirts to Christmas patches, we found new merchandise all over EPCOT today! And that includes a HUGE haul of gorgeous new items in one of our favorite World Showcase Pavilions!
We are really, really excited about the upcoming Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure ride.
Ratatouille Ride Vehicle
We like to check in on the France Pavilion a LOT to see what kind of work is being done to get this new attraction ready for opening. Recently, we flew over in the Skyliner and snapped some exciting pics! The France Pavilion expansion looks GOOD, y’all!
The “opening summer 2020” might have come down recently, but one thing’s for sure — while future plans for Spaceship Earth’s refurbishment and the new Mary Poppins attraction have been put on hold, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure will be opening someday — hopefully soon!

In fact, we’ve watched the exterior for brand new attraction take shape at the World Showcase’s France pavilion from the aerial vantage point of Disney’s Skyliner for some time, but now we’ve found a special way to see what’s INSIDE!
All Disney World construction projects stopped shorty after the parks closed on March 16th — which seems like such a long time ago!
Cinderella Castle Construction
But now that many of Disney’s resort hotels reopened on June 22nd, and the Disney World parks have opening dates — Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom on July 11th followed by Epcot and Hollywood Studios on July 15th — we’ve seen work on several job sites resume!
Drinking around the World is one of our favorite pastimes, whether the sips are spiked or non-alcoholic!
Drinks
We’ve tried pretty much ALL of the frozen drinks in the parks. Although we love grabbing new things (and sharing them with you guys ;-D), we’ve found a few frozen sips over the year that have secured a special place in our hearts.
Attention all chocoholics! This next list is for YOU! Disney World is full of tasty chocolate treats, and we’re sharing ten of the absolute best chocolate desserts you can find in the parks and resorts!
We even put chocolate on our PRETZELS!
These are in no particular order (we couldn’t POSSIBLY rank these even if we wanted to) so let’s dig in.
Despite the parks being closed, there are a ton of NEW and exciting things in the works as well as very recent additions to the parks that we can’t wait to check out!
