food IS a theme park
Hello from EPCOT, DFB friends!
EPCOT
We headed out to take a walk around the park to see what’s new and we’ve got a ton of updates to share! Let’s get started!
Not too long ago, we were munching on delicious treats at the Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, and now we’ve moved on to holiday delights at the International Festival of the Holidays.

But, in about a month we’ll be enjoying a totally different festival in EPCOT — the Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts! While we’re excited to hopefully taste and see some of our favorites from previous years, we’re also really excited to try some dishes from a BRAND NEW Food Booth that’ll be joining the festival in 2021.
Disneyland Paris, like most other Disney parks, has had to deal with a number of changes to plans due to the global health crisis.

Earlier this year, the Parisian resort closed alongside the other international Disney parks and remained closed for several months before a reopening in July. Since then, COVID-19 cases have increased in France prompting a lockdown, and Disneyland Paris has closed temporarily again. Now, it seems that closure will extend through the holiday season.
Hello from EPCOT!
EPCOT
The Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays will be starting in just a few days! But we couldn’t wait until then to make our way around this fantastic park. Join us as we walk around EPCOT to check out the new holiday booths that are already up, get an update on some drink options around the park, and check out some cool merchandise!
Due to the global pandemic, Disneyland Paris (like all of the other Disney theme parks around the world) shut down earlier this year, but then reopened in July. Eventually, however, COVID-19 numbers in France began increasing again, and the country went into lockdown, forcing Disneyland Paris to close temporarily once again at the end of October.

Disneyland Paris was set to reopen on from December 19th through January 3rd, but it seems recent regulations set by the French government have caused plans at this theme park to change.
We’ve been keeping a close eye on all of the construction going on at the France pavilion in the area that will soon become Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, which is set to open in 2021!

It looks like the France pavilion is getting excited too. As we walked around today, we noticed that some adorable Ratatouille merchandise we saw last year is available again, including a super cute Chef Jacket!
October has been quite an eventful month for EPCOT!

Since EPCOT reopened, the park has been keeping busy with the Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival as well as construction and character updates. (It’s also been the center of some major project and firework drama!)
This month alone we’ve seen a ton of changes while the theme park adapts to the new safety protocols and moves forward on attraction construction. Let’s take a look at the 5 most important changes we’ve seen happen at EPCOT this month!
We’ve been keeping an eye on all of the construction going on at the France pavilion in EPCOT for the area that will become home to Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, as well as La Crêperie de Paris!

Recently, we got a sneak peek at the attraction marquee coming to the ride building, and today we saw that had already been INSTALLED!
The global health crisis has rocked the world for almost the entirety of 2020 so far. This year, every single Disney theme park around the world has had to close, and it’s been a slow road to reopen them.

Already, we’ve seen Hong Kong Disneyland close for a second time and reopen again and now Disneyland Paris has announced its second closure due to the global health crisis.
Disney theme parks around the world closed temporarily earlier this year in response to the global pandemic.

All of Disney’s theme parks, except those at Disneyland Resort in California, have since reopened. But, as the situation with the coronavirus develops, changes continue to occur. Big changes are coming very soon to France that will likely impact Disneyland Paris.
