food IS a theme park
Sure, EPCOT has a lot of fun rides, but do we really go to EPCOT JUST for the rides?
World Showcase is BEAUTIFUL
We also go for the food (obviously), mostly because we can literally eat and drink our way around the World (Showcase) in a single day! But within each World Showcase country pavilion are Cast Members FROM that country, and some of these international Cast Members recently shared some… interesting facts with us about where they’re from.

We’ve seen Iger invest in a delivery startup service, reportedly comment on the selection of Bob Chapek as a successor CEO, and even weigh in on the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. And now there’s been another update involving Iger and U.K. royalty.

Some of our favorite foods at Disney World are from EPCOT’s World Showcase.
Let’s go to the UK!
We can’t turn down crepes from France, delicious gelato from Italy, or literally ANYTHING from Germany’s Karamell Kuche. But today we’re turning our attention to the United Kingdom pavilion, the land of the Queen, afternoon tea, and fish and chips.
Hide your wallets folks, ’cause it’s about to get dangerous! As if the bucket-load of EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival merchandise wasn’t enough already, Disney has decided to release MORE new items that you might find totally irresistible!
EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival
We’ve been making our way around EPCOT today specifically in search of all of the Flower and Garden Festival goodies, but as we were walking around the park something else caught our eye!
You never know what you might find at EPCOT!

We loved Mary Blair’s collection of Alice in Wonderland items, and now there’s another Alice-inspired Disney World souvenir you’re going to LOVE.
Take a breath. Imagine for a second that the computer, phone, etc. in front of you has disappeared. You find yourself on Main Street, U.S.A.. Around you, you can hear the sound of guests talking and laughing. In the distance, you hear some of the background music for this beautiful spot. And then it hits you — the distinct and gorgeous voices of the Dapper Dans reach your ears and your heart and your soul are filled with joy. LIVE MUSIC folks. Sometimes there’s just nothing better than live music.

Although Disney World has ALL kinds of entertainment to enjoy at the resorts, in the parks, and at Disney Springs, sometimes all you really want is to just listen to some great live music. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, a night out, want to hit the town in Disney style, or are just a lover of music and want to fill your day with those glorious sounds, we’ve put together a list of EVERYWHERE you can see live music at Disney World. So let’s get ready to jam out! 🎵
Well, it was bound to happen — you can now get a Harmonious Spirit Jersey at EPCOT!
EPCOT
But that’s not the only NEW thing we’ve found at EPCOT recently. For example, we’ve been keeping an eye on the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind construction (we are STOKED for this ride), checking the Disney World website every day for an opening date for the upcoming Connections Café, and checking out all the new food and merchandise.
