food IS a theme park
It’s time for another update about what’s new in EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth
EPCOT has seen a LOT of changes in the last week or so, from the openings of Creations Shop, Club Cool, and even Space 220 restaurant! So what else is new?
Hello there fellow snacker!
The Popcorn!!
Are you a fan of grabbing all kinds of tasty treats while in EPCOT? Perhaps you too are a fan of the signature caramel popcorn and the oh-so-delicious pumpkin cupcake at Karamell-Küche in EPCOT’s Germany pavilion? If the above applies to you, then there’s a BIG update you need to know about.
Hello DFB friends! We’re here to talk about all the new things at EPCOT!
EPCOT Entrance
This week at EPCOT brought us several new (and returning) Halloween and fall festive treats, and preparations are being made for the new Creations Shop to open soon. Let’s go over everything new in EPCOT!
Prost! In case you missed it, Biergarten in EPCOT’s Germany Pavilion recently became a buffet again.
Is Biergarten better now that it’s a buffet again? Well…
After Disney World’s reopening, Biergarten switched to a family-style all-you-can-eat menu, and we’ll have to admit, while many of the foods were the same as at the previous buffet, the family-style presentation was wonderful. But now that it’s reverted to a buffet, so how does it fare? Well, let’s find out.
Is it just us, or was August the longest month of the summer? SO MUCH happened!
Yak and Yeti Restaurant had some price increases!
We’ve been up to our ears in Disney news, including LOADS of details about the Star Wars hotel, an update on Disney Genie (and the retirement of the FastPass program), and hotel reopenings. And there have been a lot of menu changes at Disney World restaurants, too!
The fun thing about shopping at EPCOT is that you can get some gorgeous international souvenirs without ever leaving World Showcase. And each pavilion has really unique items (most of which are made in the countries they represent!).
Germany Pavilion
From special ears to apparel to beautiful masks, each pavilion at EPCOT holds a treasure trove of wonderful things we always want to take home!
When Disney World reopened, parades were suspended and replaced with character cavalcades.
EPCOT Princess Cavalcade
And we’ve enjoyed quite a few of these cavalcades, but now that things are returning to “normal” at Disney World, lots of things seem to be changing…again. Parades will resume this holiday season (at least with the Very Merriest After Hours Party), and a character cavalcade has officially been suspended.
Things have been changing quite a bit at Disney World recently.
Biergarten
Mask rules were recently updated, the FIRST buffet reopened at Disney World with Boma at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, and more spots are set to reopen soon. Biergarten Restaurant in EPCOT’s Germany pavilion has been open for quite some time offering a family-style meal (as opposed to its typical buffet), but soon things there will be changing!
If you’re a Disney history fanatic, then you know that the parks are filled with rich backstories and intriguing details.
There are a lot of things you may not know about EPCOT!
EPCOT is no exception, with a history spanning nearly 4 decades. World Showcase is perhaps the most interesting part of the park, with 11 different countries represented throughout in unique ways. Each pavilion is such a solid interpretation of each country’s culture that it may leave you wondering how Disney pulls it off. But does Disney actually run these pavilions? Who owns the World Showcase pavilions, anyway?
Hello from Disney World. We’ve had a lot of exciting news this week, huh?
Corn dog nuggets at Hollywood Studios? Yes!
There were new details about the Star Wars hotel, we’ve had news about more restaurant reopenings, and we finally got word that Annual Pass sales would resume soon. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg — there is SO much going on.
