food IS a theme park
Eek! We’ve been waiting over a year to say this: Test Track is officially open in EPCOT!
Test Track
It closed in June 2024 to undergo a reimagining and become Test Track 3.0, and it’s now officially open for everyone to enjoy.
Since it was first announced, we’ve been SO excited for the chance to have our first walkthrough of the Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana! But as much as we’re looking forward to our chance to play in this space…we’re also getting more and more worried.

Guests will be able to explore what Disney has described as a “lush exploration trail” that allows explorers to “play with magical, living water” through an immersive walk-through attraction. Well, we sure hope so.
Have you been to EPCOT recently?

Would you believe us if we told you you’re doing EPCOT wrong!? Maybe you did all you could to study up on EPCOT hidden secrets and tips, but you still might have made these BIG mistakes while you were exploring. Let’s stop you from doing them next time!
Disney World certainly likes to keep us on our toes, and they recently surprised us with a couple of MAJOR soft openings in EPCOT. Connections Café opened unexpectedly, which is the new Starbucks location in EPCOT. When we first went go check it out, the Connections Eatery (which shares a space with the Café) wasn’t quite ready for guests yet. But now that has CHANGED!

Connections Eatery also had a soft opening with its full menu available for guests to try! Of course we had to head inside to check out the space and try some of the eats. Should you add this new spot to your EPCOT food tour? And can the eats even compete with the rest of the amazing food in this park? We’re about to find out! [Read more…]
With several new attractions in the works, crews throughout Disney World are working around the clock so that guests will soon be able to enjoy the new rides.
EPCOT
One attraction that we have patiently (okay, maybe not that patiently) been waiting for is Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind! This indoor coaster will take guests into space and is set to open in summer 2022 — and today, we’re bringing you an update on the ride’s construction progress. Let’s check it out!
It feels like we’ve been waiting FOREVER for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind to open in EPCOT — but we’re finally getting closer!
In progress!
Disney announced that the ride will be opening this summer (but they haven’t given an exact date, yet). We’ve been keeping an eye on construction, including the GIANT Nova Corps ship that’s gone up outside of the ride. Yesterday, we saw a closer look at the loading area of the ride, and today, we’ve got a new video from inside the attraction!
We may be talking about traveling to a galaxy far, far away A LOT right now thanks to the new Star Wars hotel opening in Disney World NEXT week, but there will soon be another way for guests to travel to space in the parks — just in a different universe (or should we say multiverse)!

The brand new indoor roller coaster, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, will finally welcome guests onboard THIS summer and we’ve been bringing you along with us for allll the updates on the ride vehicles, when filming for the ride took place, and we even got a look inside. We’ve also been keeping a close eye on the construction progress (at least, what we can see of it), and today we’re another step closer!

We’re SO excited for the ride. We’ve been getting updates on it for a while, with a look at the ride vehicles, news of filming for the ride, and even a look inside. Construction is moving along nicely, and we just got another update about an important part of the project!
As we get closer to Christmas Day, the Disney World parks are getting busier and busier!
Happy Holidays from EPCOT!
We’ve seen some pretty heavy crowds and high wait times the past few days, but that’s not all that’s going on. There’s also new food, merchandise, and construction to check out, and today we’re sharing the full list of what’s new in EPCOT from the past few days!
If you’ve been to Disney World before, chances are you know that feeling: you just want to get from one side of Magic Kingdom to the other, but you’re met with a wall of crowds or a parade or cavalcade, slowing you down big time! Well, did you know that there are SECRET walkways that can help you avoid those crowds?
Main Street, U.S.A.
Okay, so maybe these walkways aren’t a complete secret, but there are often-overlooked walkways in the parks that can help you save some time while getting from point A to point B — or, at least it will make your walk more pleasant and crowd-free. With the 50th Anniversary Celebration bringing in plenty of visitors, it’s more important than ever to be aware of where the shortcuts and alternate routes are in the parks!
