food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Epcot!
Epcot
We’ve got plenty of merchandise and construction updates to share with you, so let’s dive right on in!
Disney World has been buzzing with excitement over Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure as it nears its completion (especially when the Gusteau’s sign and attraction marquee were all lit up). And, now that the Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along is open, folks have been flocking in droves to see it. Buuuut there hasn’t been much talk about the other major upgrade coming soon to the France Pavilion in Epcot’s World Showcase.
France Pavilion Expansion
And, while Epcot’s Space 220 Restaurant (which is also making some progress) and Regal Eagle Smokehouse are never far from people’s minds, La Crêperie de Paris hasn’t received equal billing…UNTIL NOW!
Summer can’t come fast enough at World Showcase! With the massive transformation happening in Epcot over the next couple of years, it’s exciting to see some progress as we near the opening of some highly anticipated attractions and dining offerings!
France Pavilion
With the exciting opening of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in the France Pavilion coming SOON, we also have our sights set on a new restaurant that showed some signs of life today!
We’re livin’ la belle vie at the 2020 Epcot Festival of the Arts in Disney World!
L’Art de la Cuisine Française Booth
It really is a wonderful day in Epcot as we take you LIVE with us to snack and sip around the World Showcase! It’s hard to not think of food as an art with all the gorgeous and delicious dishes we’re seeing today, like the Rose Panna Cotta and the Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich Funnel Cake. Buuut, now we’re giving you a taste of one of the greatest cuisines in the WORLD at the France Pavilion!
Today’s a BIG day for Epcot! Not only has the Epcot Festival of the Arts kicked off (including the popular Disney on Broadway concert series!), buuut we’ve also seen the new films Awesome Planet and Canada Far and Wide make their debut!

C’est magnifique! The Epcot Transformation is fully under way (and we are SO excited).

And, while Space 220 and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind have seen lots of progress, we’re taking a trip to France for the latest rat-astic development!
We know you’re busy warming up your voice for when the Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along debuts this Friday in Epcot’s France pavilion!

But here’s a critical detail we noticed if you’re planning on seeing the show when it opens!
We DON’T HAVE WORDS for how excited we are for the 2020 International Festival of the Arts to start up THIS FRIDAY!
Epcot France Pavilion
Wanna know what’s made us even more pumped? We got a sneak preview of some of the awesome exhibits that are coming to the festival this year. To our delight, one of those exhibits goes hand in hand with the new Beauty and the Beast Sing-along film that’s opening in the Palais du Cinema. Wait until you see the GORGEOUS France Pavilion exhibit — “Tale as Old as Time: French Storytelling on Stage and Screen!”
While 2019 brought us Disney’s Skyliner, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and of course, Rise of the Resistance, we’re ready for 2021! That’s because Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure will be opening this year and we can’t wait to “rat around” on this new Disney attraction!
