food IS a theme park
In recent weeks, the U.S. State Department has issued a series of new travel advisories warning Americans about traveling abroad.
U.S. Department of State
According to the State Department, its travel advisories provide detailed destination-specific travel and risk information to allow U.S. citizens to make informed international travel decisions. U.S. embassies and consulates across the globe provide services that support the welfare and protection of U.S. citizens abroad.

Wanna drink “around the world” in EPCOT on your next Disney trip? Well, you need to read this FIRST.
Grand Marnier Orange Slush
Drinking around the world is a popular challenge for folks doing bachelor/bachelorette trips, 21st birthdays, or just traveling with other adults. If done right, it can be accomplished, but you have to be careful about how you tackle it. Today, we’re sharing the full guide to drinking around EPCOT’s World Showcase!
Disney World has new things popping up and changing nearly every single day, and while we’re in the parks each day to hopefully catch them all, sometimes Disney does stuff so sneakily that even we don’t catch it right away!
El Ranchito del Norte
While Disney often will announce changes, like closures, reopenings, and changes in hours, that’s not ALWAYS the case. Sometimes, they just make the change on their website and app, and you’ll walk by one day and go “…when did those doors reopen?” That’s exactly what happened over in EPCOT‘s Mexico Pavilion — this store is BACK OPEN after nearly five years!
If we asked you what our favorite bar in EPCOT was, you’d probably know the answer because it’s a LOT of folks’ favorite bar (like, even celebrities love it, too). That bar is La Cava del Tequila, and we keep coming back again and again to sip on some old favorites and try some new drinks.
New drink in Mexico!
So when we learned about a new margarita that had just dropped at La Cava, we got in line ASAP to order it. But…how does this new margarita fare in a menu that’s already FULL of standout margaritas? Well, let’s discuss!
Is this one of EPCOT’s most immersive restaurants…or just overrated?
Let’s eat!
San Angel Inn Restaurante has long been a popular dining spot inside the Mexico Pavilion, drawing visitors in with its unique atmosphere and prime location along the Gran Fiesta Tour ride route. But while the setting is undeniably memorable, opinions on the food and overall experience tend to vary. We took a closer look at what dining here is really like (from the ambiance to the new menu items) to help you decide if this restaurant deserves a spot on your upcoming EPCOT visit.
It’s not every day you get to head into EPCOT and not only get to try a drink created by a Disney legend, but also have a conversation with him for an hour while you sip on it!
Time to try a legendary drink!
We headed over to La Cava del Tequila in the Mexico Pavilion to try a new drink that was created by the one and only Bret Iwan. Bret has been the voice of Mickey Mouse since 2009, so you can bet we wanted to try out this drink more than anything. We’ve gotta say — this drink didn’t disappoint!
When it comes to getting a margarita in Disney World, it’s kinda’ a no-brainer to visit the Mexico Pavilion, which is also why a lot of folks start their World Showcase journey in EPCOT in Mexico.
Churro Margarita
We get it, not only do you have La Cava del Tequila, often frequented by celebrities, but you can also get some pretty good margaritas at the other dining spots in Mexico, including La Cantina San Angel, which is now offering a new drink, a Churro Margarita, and we’re going to give you our honest thoughts about it.
Here at DFB, we make sure to stay in the loop with theme park news around the world, and there are some big projects on the horizon.

We already covered the opening of Epic Universe in 2025, but we’re excitedly anticipating the new kid-focused theme park from Universal next. We’ve also been keeping an eye out for new theme parks announced by companies other than Disney and Universal, and in 2026, there’s a very interesting offering opening in Mexico!
We are probably always going to be singing the praises of La Cava del Tequila in EPCOT, and we’re not the only ones. You see, celebrities love La Cava, too, so much that several have even created their own drinks for this popular bar.
The Standing Ovation
For example, La Cava’s Black Magic Margarita is Neil Patrick Harris’ drink. Then, you’ve also got The Lily, created by Lily Aldridge. Well, now, Jordan Fisher (yep, you may know him as the voice of Happily Ever After, but he also has some serious Broadway roles on his resume) has his own drink at La Cava, and we stopped by the bar to try it out.
