food IS a theme park
Disney World is constantly bringing in new updates. Just look at Epcot’s Future World right now!

Still, some of the oldest parts of Disney have a good dose of charm to them that we just can’t pass up. Today, we’re taking a look at seven outdated things at Disney World that we’re TOTALLY cool with! Check them out!
We could all benefit from hearing a little bit of Judi Dench’s calm, reassuring monologue that begins to softly play after boarding our Spaceship Earth “time machine”…
Epcot’s Spaceship Earth
…“Like a grand and miraculous spaceship, our planet has sailed through the universe of time; and for a brief moment, we have been among its passengers…”
In true Walt spirit, Disney World just keeps moving forward! And we thought there was a lot of construction LAST month! Boy, we didn’t know what we were in for!
Epcot Transformation Model
With much of Future World closed and blocked off, Epcot is certainly embracing its “work-in-progress” status — and Epcot isn’t the only park either. There’s significant construction all over the parks right now. After all, Disney World has to look its best for the 50th Anniversary next year! We’re taking a look at some NEW permits Disney has been filing to clue us in on what to expect next!
We’ve been hanging on every detail of the new space-themed restaurant that is currently still under construction in Epcot.

And while Space 220 Restaurant has experienced a few setbacks (it was originally supposed to open in the winter) it seems the final details are finally falling into place — including its flatware!
It’s true: Epcot’s Future World lost a dining location when Electric Umbrella closed its doors over the weekend. This expected closure came as just one part of the massive transformation currently taking place at Epcot.

And even as we say goodbye to some old haunts, we are MORE than excited about what’s to come, both in the years ahead and in the near future with one of the presumed highlights being the Space 220 Restaurant, currently under construction right by the Mission: SPACE attraction! [Read more…]
The Epcot Transformation is one of the BIGGEST park makeovers we’ve ever seen — and it’s just getting started!

While we’ve been keeping you in the loop with all the new restaurants and attractions as their construction sites progress, now it seems Epcot’s evolution is REALLY kicking into high gear! And even if you normally consider yourself to be a pro at navigating Epcot, it can be really tricky given how unfamiliar it’s lookin’ and feelin’ these days!
Epcot’s multi-year transformation is upon us and, unfortunately, that means an old favorite has closed for good!

We’ve known for a while that we could expect the closure of Electric Umbrella before the end of the year (sad face). Today, though, we’ve had to say goodbye forever!
HOORAY!! We’re one huge step closer to a new burgers-and-fries spot in Epcot…
