EPCOT is NOT the Only Place to “Eat Around the World” in Disney World

One of the most wonderful things about going to Disney World is the food — yeah, we’re biased, but that’s what we do!

Time to Dig in!

And when folks in the know think food in Disney World, chances are their thoughts drift to EPCOT. It’s basically a magical, wonderful place for food from around the WORLD — you can have lunch in Italy, a drink in Mexico, a snack in France, and dinner in Germany! But did you know that you can eat around the world at other parts of Disney World without ever stepping foot into EPCOT?

How to Eat 6 Bowls of Ramen in Disney World AND Support a Good Cause!

By Madison Owens 1 Comment

When you think iconic Disney World food, do you think of noodles?

We love you, ‘Ohana noodles

Probably not! While the noodles in Disney aren’t all iconic (that spot is reserved solely for ‘Ohana noodles!), many of them are delicious. Recently, we’ve found some awesome noodle bowls over at The Noodle Exchange for EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival, and even found a great bowl of rice noodles over at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort! But, if you’re like us, you can never have enough carbs in your life, and we just found a way to get a ton of delicious noodles AND donate to a great cause!
