food IS a theme park
Everyone remain calm — this might be the most important Disney World update you read about anytime soon.
Germany Pavilion
No, we don’t have any official updates on when the Hatbox Ghost will be coming to Magic Kingdom, and we still don’t officially have an opening date for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, either. But, what we do have to share is something, much, much more exciting — and devastating.
Get your sea legs under you — we plan to set sail in just over a year!

The Disney Treasure is the newest addition to the Disney Cruise Line and is scheduled to set sail in December 2024. The voyage is described as a cruise “where the spirit of adventure meets the daring tales of classic Disney films and Disney park attractions,” per Disney.
Sailing for seven-night cruises, the ship will travel through eastern and western parts of the Caribbean while providing guests with special Disney perks, such as character dining, special attractions, and Disney entertainment. Early this month Disney provided us with an October 2023 update that gets us even more excited for the Disney Treasure launch!
Look, we go to Disney World every day — and even though there’s always something to see and do, we can’t help but let our minds wander.
Spaceship Earth
What are we going to have for dinner tonight? What is the meaning of life? What are the little German villagers up to in EPCOT’s tiny train town up to today? It’s questions like these that keep us up at night, but luckily, we got the answer to at least one of them on a recent trip to the parks… and it doesn’t look good.
Okay, we are about to take you to the SKETCHIEST neighborhood in all of Disney World.
Germany’s Train Village
Seriously, this is a place that is notoriously strange, where its denizens get up to who-knows-what kind of shenanigans. No, this isn’t the Wild West of Frontierland in Magic Kingdom. Nope, we’re taking you to the shadiest little town in Disney World, which just happens to be in EPCOT. Yep, we’re going back to Train Town.
The 2023 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival has officially kicked off, and we tried so many exciting new foods.
EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival
But, did you know there is more to the festival than Outdoor Kitchens? The festival is full of experiences like Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak scavenger hunt and the Eat to the Beat Concert Series. Some of the best experiences for the festival might go unnoticed if you don’t know where to look!
The 2023 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is here and we are about to be reunited with one of our FAVORITE festival snacks…but will it hold up this year, or be a big disappointment?
Germany Booth 2023
There’s a lot to check out at the Food & Wine Festival this year — from the fun festival merchandise to the Eat to the Beat concert series. But the real star of the Festival (as its name indicates) is the food and the wine. We’re visiting EVERY SINGLE food booth to make sure we can find the BEST things for you to try. So now, let’s head to the Germany booth to see what you should (or should NOT) try.
The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is returning on July 27th! There are TONS of new menu items coming to EPCOT this year, plus some returning favorites like the cheese crawl, scavenger hunt, live outdoor concert series, and more.

Now, let’s talk about the FOOD. There are plenty of new and returning options this year, and it can be overwhelming to parse through all those menus. Luckily, we’re here to point out some tried-and-true festival favorites that are returning this year! Based on what we know about some returning EPCOT Food Booths, we can’t wait to be reunited with some of our favorite snacks.
If you like caramel and you also like booze…pay attention.
We bet you can smell this photo
It’s no secret how much we LOVE Karamell-Küche in the Germany Pavilion of EPCOT’s World Showcase. The caramel popcorn is a MUST for many, but there are also tons of other treats to enjoy here, like the boozy Caramel Flights. Well, a NEW boozy caramel flight recently arrived, and we’re bringing you along for the ride as we try it!
We’re heading to Biergarten — where it is always Oktoberfest!
Biergarten
You can find this unique restaurant nestled in the back of the Germany Pavillion at EPCOT. The Biergarten is a theater-style restaurant filled with long, family-style tables. Up on stage, German performers showcase authentic Oktoberfest numbers throughout the day.
Now that the 50th Anniversary is over, we’ve been making our way around Disney World looking for NEW snacks.
Karamel Kuche
Fortunately, Disney World has NOT disappointed in that department. A TON of Star Wars treats are coming to the parks soon. We’re gearing up for the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival in a few months. We figured out a new food hack by combining two treats. Now, we’ve got a NEW snack to tell you about, but it comes with a warning.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
