food IS a theme park
Okay, so we LOVE meeting characters in Disney World, right?
UK Pavilion in EPCOT
We’ll stand in line for HOURS to meet characters like Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and more. We’ll even pay extra for meals that feature character experiences. But sometimes, we stumble upon a meet and greet that’s a little different, and we found one like that recently in EPCOT.
Ever wondered about the process that goes into producing your favorite cuppa tea?
The UK Pavilion in EPCOT is your one-stop-shop for tea!
In the past, guests have been able to take tours of the English Tea Garden in the UK Pavilion in EPCOT — learning about how tea is grown, manufactured, and eventually brought into our own kettles. We received confirmation from an EPCOT Cast Member that the English Tea Garden Tours will RETURN for the 2023 Flower and Garden Festival!
We love a delicious festive treat, and right now Disney World has a ton of options.
Magic Kingdom Holiday Decorations
From mousse shaped like a reindeer to cupcakes with polar bear decorations, gingerbread cake pops to Christmas cookie sundaes, there are all kinds of holiday snacks available in the Disney parks. But what if you can’t make it into Disney World right now? Don’t worry! We’ve got a Disney holiday treat recipe that’ll bring this festive season straight into your house. [Read more…]
Things change so fast in Disney World. There’s new merchandise all the time, and we’re always seeing new construction projects and menu updates in the parks.
EPCOT
Today we’re going to check out the updates in EPCOT, including some new collectible souvenirs, an update on the bee infestation, and big scaffolding in the World Showcase that points to upcoming celebrations. [Read more…]
The Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays has officially kicked off! Holiday goodies inspired by various countries and cultures have littered the park and you KNOW we’re trying them all! You can follow along with us live here!
Christmas Tree in EPCOT, 2019
The event has been modified this year with less entertainment and limited menu items. Disney is still bringing us new items to try and even a few new food kiosks! New this year is the English Garden in the UK Pavilion. We’re trying ALL the holiday drinks inspired by the country that loves tea!
Good morning from EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth
We just spent a beautiful day wandering around the park to see what’s new in food, merchandise, and construction, so here we go!
Cheerio! And warm tidings from Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. We’ve had SO many reader requests for a re-review of this fun offering! Far be it from us to deny that desire!
Welcome to the Grand Floridian!
There are so many foodie things we love about this resort, like the Chicken and Waffles at the Grand Floridian Cafe or the all-new Beauty and the Beast themed lounge, Enchanted Rose (check out our full review HERE!).
Enchanted Rose Lounge
But recently we decided it was time for a spot of tea, so we stopped in to the Garden View Tea Room!
It’s been a busy week in Epcot! We found food updates, construction, completed refurbs, new rides and restaurants, plus more new merch! Join us at Epcot to see what we found!
Welcome to Epcot
But first, don’t forget…there’s less than a month left in the Food and Wine Festival — our very favorite thing in Epcot! Be sure to check this year’s festival out before it ends!
If we aren’t eating in Epcot, it’s likely because we are shopping! We found some additional merchandise items in a new line that launched in the park earlier this summer.
Princess Home Items
We already spotted this line featuring Belle on shirts, bags and home items. And now Aurora and Cinderella have been added to the line.
Today we’re bringing you a guest review from our DFB pal Jennifer Elliott, who attended the new Rose & Crown Tea Experience in Epcot’s World Showcase! This weekend, I had the privilege to attend The Rose & Crown’s brand new Tea Experience. It began promptly at 9:45 am, so make sure to allow plenty of time to walk to the United Kingdom Pavilion.
