REVIEW: One of Our Favorite Food & Wine Treats Is BACK at EPCOT

By Leave a Comment

The Refreshment Outpost isn’t usually one of those stop‑you‑in‑your‑tracks EPCOT spots, but during the 2026 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, it’s absolutely worth a detour. You’ll find it tucked between the China and Germany Pavilions as you wind your way around World Showcase.

As we make our way around World Showcase to review every Marketplace at the 2026 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, we’re also stopping by the Refreshment Outpost to see how these limited‑time offerings measure up. It may not be a headliner booth, but this year’s menu gives it a well‑deserved moment in the spotlight.

REVIEW: This Disney World Dole Whip Won’t Last for Long

By Leave a Comment

Disney World is known for its DOLE Whips, from classic flavors like pineapple to more adventurous seasonal flavors that rotate often. So when we were in EPCOT yesterday, we were so excited to see that they added a different DOLE Whip flavor!

Yum!

Refreshment Outpost in the World Showcase offers both permanent menu items and rotating festival sweet treats. EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts begins January 16th, and while we can’t wait for all the new goodies, we’re pretty sure this DOLE Whip will be taken over by a festival offering at the end of this week.

Look, let’s be honest… the Refreshment Outpost might not be one of those “stop in your tracks” spots you stroll past on a normal EPCOT day, but during the 2025 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, you may just want to take that little detour to check out the eats and drinks this spot offers just for the event!

Refreshment Outpost

As it does every year, the Refreshment Outpost is shining the spotlight on a few dishes beyond its usual soft-serve and frozen slushies. And the offerings this year focus on unique African flavors that you won’t find elsewhere at the Festival! So, as we make our way around World Showcase to visit all of the Festival Marketplaces to bring you our reviews of every Food Booth at the 2025 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival, we’re also stopping by the Refreshment Outpost to see how this year’s Festival items stack up!

12 Restaurants CHANGED in Disney World This Week

By 1 Comment

It’s been a HUGE week in Disney World — at least for food.

We’ve been eating and drinking our way around EPCOT this week

That’s because the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays has officially kicked off and have spent the past few days eating and drinking our way around this year’s food booths. Let’s just say we also ate a lot of cookies and enjoyed the first Candlelight Processional of the year where we got to see the voice of Olaf himself, Josh Gad, (who also voiced Le Fou in the live-action Beauty and the Beast) narrate the Christmas story. However, Disney World restaurants still had a few changes this week, so we’re going to tell you all about them between bites of cookie.
