food IS a theme park
Hello world travelers! We took a trip to EPCOT to see what’s been going on around the park!

Last time, we saw more construction walls and a few new food items! Let’s take a look at what’s new in food, construction, and merchandise!
If you’re a fan of the United Kingdom pavilion in EPCOT, you HAVE to see the fun merchandise we spotted today!
UK Pavilion at EPCOT
From royal-themed merch to an entire line of fish and chips items — including some incredible Fish and Chips Minnie Ears — we’ve seen a ton of exciting merchandise in the United Kingdom pavilion lately. And now, we have even MORE goodies to add to our wishlist!
Rain or shine, it’s always fun to take a walk around EPCOT and see what’s new!
Spaceship Earth at EPCOT
From new items available at the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival to a whole line of Fish & Chips MERCH in the United Kingdom pavilion(!!), come with us on a trip around the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow to see what new things we spotted!
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.
Now that Universal Studios has reopened its doors and other theme parks are gearing up to reopen soon (including Disney World!), guests are gonna need a lift to get to Florida!

And Virgin Atlantic has just announced they’ll be resuming international flights to Orlando along with several other U.S. destinations.
You know we are full of expert Disney tips, but even we make some odd choices when it comes to our Disney trips sometimes.
Magic Kingdom
This may not be what people would classically recommend, but trust us — we have our reasons! Would YOU make some of these crazy choices on your next Disney World trip? Or have we just lost our marbles? 😉
Over here in the States, we’ve been enjoying the fun of going back and watching some of our favorite old Disney movies and TV shows on Disney+ for a couple of months now, but our friends over in Europe still have to wait until next month before they can binge-watch the adventures of Baby Yoda and The Mandalorian.
Disney+
Before the service goes live in Europe, Disney is offering a special limited-time offer that can save some serious cha-ching!
World Showcase is a spot in Disney World where you can find some truly unique merchandise items. And with all the exciting changes coming to Epcot and the U.K. Pavilion in the coming years (including a Mary Poppins attraction!), we’ve been checking in frequently to see what the latest findings are!
UK Minnie Ears
If you’re looking for unique souvenirs, we highly recommend you check out the many countries’ gift shops! Case in point, while we were gushing over the newest United Kingdom-inspired Minnie ears, we couldn’t help but notice some other new apparel that could totally match those ears to make a full-on U.K. outfit!
OK, this is…adorable, tbh. We couldn’t be more excited to tell you guys about the new Fish and Chips merch we just spotted in Epcot! That’s right, dearies! We said FISH and CHIPS!!!
Rose & Crown Fish & Chips
We’ve eaten more fish and chips than we can count (and would ever admit to!) at the Yorkshire County Fish Shop and Rose and Crown Pub and Dining Room!
A few weeks ago we shared some cool info for our U.K. readers: Primark’s newest location in Birmingham was set to get a Primark Cafe with Disney!
