food IS a theme park
Happy Thanksgiving week! And although we’re still full from stuffing our faces with turkey and dressing, we’ve also been busy running all over the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, checking out ALL the food.

But we’ve also kept an eye on Disney World restaurant menus, and this week only brought a few updates. So be sure to check that out, but also be sure to check out all our reviews of the food booths at the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays!
EPCOT’s Japan pavilion is home to some stunning sights, entertaining dining experiences, and some interesting merchandise (looking at you, babyface skincare face mask). The World Showcase has SO many details crammed into every corner of each pavilion we could spend an entire week breaking down all the hidden items!
Hello from Japan (pavilion)!
As we were browsing the Mitsukoshi Department Store in the Japan pavilion, we noticed an adorable little Disney detail we had to share!
Is it just us or was September the longest month ever?

Maybe it’s because we just couldn’t wait for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration to kick-off so that we could eat all the new foods in the parks. We also had a TON of restaurant menu changes, reopenings, and more!
As you can imagine, Disney World is abuzz with activity now that the 50th Anniversary Celebration is here!

And while we’re busy trying out ALL the new foods that the parks just released, we’re also keeping an eye on restaurant menus at the resort to let you know when there are any changes and updates.
EPCOT has some of the best food in Disney World, from the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival to restaurants all over the World Showcase. You might even say food is THE reason to visit EPCOT.

There are a LOT of quick service restaurants in EPCOT, and after we asked our readers to help us rank Magic Kingdom’s quick service spots we HAD to rank EPCOT too! We asked you, dear readers, to vote for ALL the quick service restaurants around EPCOT, and you might be surprised by the results!
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?
It seems like every week we have another restaurant reopening at Disney World!
Japan Pavilion
Recently we have been able to enjoy the reopening of restaurants such as Boma and Victoria Falls Lounge, as well as the return of breakfast to Cinderella’s Royal Table. But today, we spent some time over in EPCOT for another restaurant reopening! [Read more…]
Restaurants throughout Disney World have been reopening over the past several months.
Tokyo Dining
Just recently, Boma reopened in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, Dockside Diner reopened in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and more places are set to reopen soon. Over at EPCOT, many restaurants have reopened and now another one has joined the list — Tokyo Dining.
The list of reopened restaurants continues to grow longer!
EPCOT
Buffets have officially returned when Boma reopened at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, popular quick-service locations like Casey’s Corner have reopened, and fan-favorites like ‘Ohana are back. Now, we have a reopening date for another EPCOT restaurant!
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?
