food IS a theme park
Hello from EPCOT, DFB friends!
EPCOT
We headed out to take a walk around the park to see what’s new and we’ve got a ton of updates to share! Let’s get started!
If you’re looking for a great way to decorate your house with some fun Disney touches, Disney has released a number of beautiful, limited edition posters lately that you can frame and hang in your home.

From a poster celebrating Harmonious, to ones honoring various pavilions in EPCOT, there have been quite a few fantastic designs to chose from. Today, another new poster has become available, and it’s practically perfect in every way!
During the course of the global health crisis, a series of rules, both in certain parts of the U.S. and abroad, have been put in place requiring residents to quarantine for 14 days after visits to specific states or countries.
Confisterie des Trois Fées at Disneyland Paris
The U.K. recently added France to its mandatory quarantine list, meaning that those traveling from the U.K. to Disneyland Paris must quarantine for 14 days after returning to the U.K.
We’ve been a little obsessed with Fish and Chips recently. Maybe it’s because we saw those AMAZING Minnie Mouse Fish and Chips Ears (and all that other cool Fish and Chips merch). Or maybe it’s just because we’ve had a craving for some fried goodness.
Yorkshire County Fish Shop
So that’s why we got excited when we found out that the Yorkshire County Fish Shop at the U.K. Pavilion at EPCOT would reopen soon! We’ve wanted some fish and chips there since…well…since before Disney World reopened!
Hello to all our DFB friends! It’s a lovely day for a walk around EPCOT, isn’t it?
UK Pavilion at EPCOT
We have found LOADS of new stuff, so let’s dive right in! [Read more…]
When we think of iconic eats in EPCOT’s United Kingdom pavilion, Fish and Chips is one of the first menu items that comes to mind!
Fish & Chips Minnie Ears
And apparently we’re not the only ones that appreciate the golden brown, deep-fried deliciousness of this dish. Because not only did we spy some AMAZING Fish and Chips Minnie Ears, but we just found a ton more Fish and Chips merch, too! We’re all about food-related merch at Disney World!
We’ve eaten our way around the world (many times) at EPCOT, but thankfully calories don’t count at Disney (right?).

Well, if you’re like us and you’re still waiting for some of those closed restaurants in Disney World to reopen (so you can eat even MORE food), then you’ll be excited to hear that one quick-service spot in EPCOT was open this past weekend and should be available when you visit on the weekends.
We’re just a few short weeks away from Disney World’s grand re-opening to guests!
Grand Floridian Resort
The Disney Park Pass Reservation System has gone live, and the Disney Resorts have started to open across the Disney property. We have lists of attractions that will be reopening as well as restaurants ready to welcome everyone back to the parks, there’s still a lot to consider about how your Disney World vacation is going to change.
Are you heading to the UK for the Christmas season — or do you just wish you were? Me too! The “wish I were” part, I mean!
Well, if you actually are there, DFB reader Lynn has pointed out an opulent Disney experience right in the heart of London: A pop-up Disney Store and Disney Cafe at Harrod’s Department Store in Knightsbridge, London! (Scroll down for the full menu!!)
