food IS a theme park
Although some of the restaurants at the Morocco pavilion in EPCOT were open when we first visited EPCOT after the reopening, Tangerine Cafe has since closed.
Morocco Pavilion
Now, the story surrounding the Morocco pavilion continues to develop.
There’s nothing quite like taking a trip around the World (Showcase) at EPCOT!
Morocco Pavilion
From delicious snacks, to exciting festival foods, and unique merchandise (shout out to those face masks that make you look like a cat!!), there’s so much fun to be had around World Showcase! Now, you can take a trip around World Showcase from the comfort of your own home (or office maybe!) with these NEW beautiful posters we spotted on shopDisney!
Do you have a go-to park plan when it’s a rainy day in the Sunshine State?
Morocco Pavilion in EPCOT
If not, we’ve got an idea for you! We found a pretty great rainy afternoon escape in EPCOT, complete with a perfect pairing to enjoy while waiting out the weather. We just so happened to be in the Morocco pavilion as the rain started to come down. [Read more…]
Welcome, friends! We’re back the latest edition of What’s New at EPCOT!
EPCOT
We’ve been exploring Future World and globetrotting all over the World Showcase where the Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival is currently underway to get you the lastest scoop an everything that’s happened here since the park reopened last week!
The 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is upon us! We’ve got an extra-long festival season in store this year to take in the sights, sounds, and TASTES of this new hybrid EPCOT festival!
Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival
No surprise here, but we’re most concerned with the TASTES! This year, the festival features 20 Festival Marketplaces, each with a menu full of specialty eats and drinks. We’ve eaten our way around the World (Showcase) and back again — and we have some thoughts.

Morocco
We finally made it to the Morocco Pavilion which featured one of our FAVORITE dishes of the day, if not the entire festival. Keep reading…we’ll fill you in!
Hey, everybody, it’s time to check out what’s been going on at Epcot!
Epcot
We’ve got a little bit of everything today, from shortcake and cookies to the construction on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and some Festival of the Arts stuff. Sooo, let’s dive in!
World travelers, start your engines!
Spaceship Earth
We’re taking a look at the all-new immersive experience that’s just arrived in the Epcot’s Morocco pavilion in Disney World!
We’ve successfully made it through the FIRST DAY of the 2019 Epcot Food and Wine Festival!
From now through November 23rd, the Festival will offer a variety of culinary events around Walt Disney World’s Epcot. Of course, the bites and sips from the Food Booths are a festival highlight. Not sure what items to sample? Here are our Best of the Fest recommendations!
2019 Epcot Food and Wine Festival Passport
If you’re planning a visit to this year’s Festival, then you’ll want to start putting together your MUST EAT list… and that’s where we come in! The DFB Team taste-tested every item at the Festival to show you the items you can’t miss!
Are you ready? Because it’s time to DIG in!
Let’s start with warm cheese at The Alps! This one is an AJ favorite!! You guys know that I lived in Switzerland for a year, and raclette (melty raclette cheese poured over bread, boiled potatoes, gherkins, and other goodies) as a staple.
Warm Raclette Swiss Cheese
And Disney’s actually done a great job with it here! The half-wheel of raclette is melted right in the booth, and shaved off beautifully onto the veggies and bread. Pungent and delicious, this one is a must-do for my cheese-fans out there.
is serving a Spanish-style Paella with Botifarra and Roasted Chicken with a little bit of heat! Flavorful and cooked to perfection!!
Spanish-style Paella with Botifarra and Roasted Chicken
If you’re looking for a larger portion, this is a great buy.
For Islands of the Caribbean, Jerk-spiced Chicken with Roasted Sweet Plantain Salad and Mango Chutney Yogurt is a stand-out!
Jerk-spiced Chicken with Roasted Sweet Plantain Salad and Mango Chutney Yogurt
While this dish hasn’t wowed us in previous years, this time around the chicken is cooked on an outdoor grill! You WILL taste the difference. It was a DFB team favorite!
For a refreshing beverage, stop by Joffrey’s for a Citrus Sunshine in Canada. Opt for this drink over the Aulani Sunrise at Hawai’i.

At the Odyssey cart by Joffrey’s, we like the Chai-quila.

At Australia, the Roasted Lamb Chop had great flavors. It’s a twist on the lamb chops of the past at this booth and we loved the update.
Roasted Lamb Chop with Sweet Potato Puree
For a not-too-sweet dessert, one member of the DFB team really enjoyed the lightness of this option.
Deconstructed Pavlova
The Spicy Hummus Fries at Morocco were delicious, as always, even with the sauce update — we needed more sauce, though!
Spicy Hummus Fries
The flatbread (it was a taco) had a really good kick to it!
NY Strip Steak Green Shermoula Flatbread
Let’s look at two returning favorites. First, The Cheese Studio is worth a visit for the Maple Bourbon Boursin Cheesecake.
Maple Bourbon Boursin Cheesecake
This creamy, decadent treat is made better-than-your-usual-cheesecake (and that’s saying something!!) thanks to that hint of bourbon in the caramel sauce.
BUT, the Sparkling Blueberry Wine by Florida Orange Groves Winery wowed us again! [Read more…]
We had a case of wanderlust this week, and instead of getting out the passport and packing, we just hopped over to spend the day in Epcot. Our journey started with some time spent in Future World, followed by a trip around the World Showcase. And boy, did we find a lot new eats and buys for you on this “trip”!
