Unlike the United States, which has many different theme parks peppered all over the country, the United Kingdom isn’t known for having as many — they certainly still have some hot spots though, such as Alton Towers, LEGOLAND Windsor, and Thorpe Park, just to name a few. A popular nighttime spectacular show called Kynren – An Epic Tale of England is located at Flatts Farm in England and has been highly rated for years, and the company has just announced they’re opening a NEW daytime theme park in 2026!

REVIEW: This EPCOT Restaurant Proves That Simple is Best

By 5 Comments

If you are looking for a place to grab a quick bite to eat in EPCOT, we constantly recommend Yorkshire County Fish Shop in the UK Pavilion.

Yorkshire County Fish Shop

While it is rare for us to leave this quick-service spot unhappy, we always like to check back in with our favorite spots as sometimes the quality of food changes around Disney World. We recently took a trip here to see if Yorkshire County Fish Shop still has the magic touch! Here is what we thought!

OH NO! A Guinness Shortage Is Striking at the WORST Possible Time

By 1 Comment

Say it ain’t so!

A Guinness

The holiday season might be a bit less enjoyable for revelers in the U.K. — and maybe further — thanks to a shortage of the iconic beer Guinness. According to various reports, a surprise “surge in demand” has left many of the United Kingdom’s pubs in short supply of the iconic spirit as the busy holiday season looms.

Now, don’t get us wrong; we LOVE to vacation at Disney World, as well as all the Disney parks and resorts across the globe. However, sometimes, we dream about other vacations that are not Disney-related. 

Disneyland Paris

If we had unlimited money or won the lottery, we know exactly the vacation we would book first, and once you see this new luxury travel experience, we are sure you will agree with us!

3 Cocktails I Totally Regretted When Drinking Around the World in EPCOT

By 1 Comment

Drinking around the world can be a great way to get a taste of each country in the World Showcase in EPCOT!

EPCOT!

When you drink around the world, you make a stop in each country for a drink. We also highly recommend grabbing some food and air conditioning as you make your way around, and maybe sharing those drinks with a friend or alternating cocktails and mocktails. Otherwise, you likely won’t make it very far in your quest around the world!

Why This McDonald’s Menu Addition Might Make You SAD

By Leave a Comment

Yes, we love McDonald’s, and we do occasionally jokingly refer to this site as the Disney AND McDonald’s Food Blog.

McDonald’s

Well, there is a huge McDonald’s on Disney World property. Plus, some of us are old enough to remember getting McDonald’s french fries in the parks. We also spent WAY too much money trying to collect those Disney100 figures from Happy Meals. So, our affinity for the fast food chain is justified, yes? Anyway, we recently learned that a popular McDonald’s breakfast item was returning. We were SO excited…until we learned the truth.

Mexico’s Dangerous Secret, Canada’s Hot Gossip, and More Facts EPCOT Cast Members Need You To Know

By 4 Comments

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.
