food IS a theme park
Disney World is a funny place these days. It feels like there are things constantly changing throughout the parks. There are new rides on the horizon, new lands coming soon, and more.
China Pavilion at EPCOT
During this period of change, Disney has also been dropping lots of discounts throughout the year! While you might save a little bit on your hotel room, you’re also going to be paying a little bit more in the China Pavilion in EPCOT.
We’ve been trying LOTS of new treats in Disney’s Animal Kingdom today, but we haven’t forgotten about EPCOT!
China Pavilion
We’re hopping over to the China Pavilion to try a brand-new drink at Joy of Tea! This kiosk is home to one of our favorite quick eats in the park, the Salt and Pepper Popcorn Chicken, so we’re excited to try their newest offering.
We love sharing quick ‘n’ easy Disney snacks you may not have heard about before!

And while we’re ALL about those seasonal eats and specialty sips, there’s lots of “ordinary” food that could make a perfect pit stop. We hopped over to the Joy of Tea in EPCOT’s China Pavilion to give one a try, and spoiler: it was pretty tasty!
HELLO from EPCOT’s simply stunning China pavilion!
Shanghai Milk Candy Bubble Tea in EPCOT’s China Pavilion
It’s here where you’ll find the Joy of Tea kiosk as you stroll along World Showcase. This somewhat small spot serves up some delightful surprises. (Tipsy Ducks in Love, anyone?) And today, we’re picking up the Shanghai Milk Candy Bubble Tea to review for you as we make our way around the world! [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”!
Epcot
We’re back in the World Showcase of Epcot today with a peek at a few snacks from The Lotus Blossom Cafe and the Joy of Tea!
To be honest, I often overlook the Lotus Blossom Cafe — the China Pavilion’s counter service spot — just because there are usually better options for my particular palate elsewhere. But the Joy of Tea, that adorable little stand with some of the best drinks in World Showcase, gets more love from me.
And if nothing’s going to cut it for you except Chinese food while you’re powering through the World Showcase, then it’s time to stop at these spots!
Located just past the entrance of the Nine Dragons Restaurant in the China Pavilion, Lotus Blossom boasts modern decor and indoor/outdoor seating.
Eats
Here’s an idea of what you’ll find for a quick bite to eat at Lotus Blossom. As you can see, the menu includes pretty standard fare like Egg Rolls and Sweet and Sour Chicken.
