food IS a theme park
I’ve done quite a bit of shopping in EPCOT, but there are some things I’ll NEVER buy again.
EPCOT
When you’ve got limited souvenir money for your vacation, you have to budget wisely, and I’d rather spend my hard-earned cash on things that will last, are memorable, or that I can’t get anywhere else. So when I’m shopping in EPCOT, I’m ruling out some of the options!
Big news for EPCOT fans, but it may not seem like it at first glance!
EPCOT’s World Showcase
For months now, we’ve seen construction happening over in the Italy Pavilion on the main part of the pavilion that catches your eye — St Mark’s Campanile. We’re happy to report that construction is now complete and the walls are down!
EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival is amazing… until you realize you’ve spent 30 minutes in line for a tiny plate of festival goodness and nowhere to set it down.
2024 Food and Wine Festival
The truth is, this festival is one of the best events Disney puts on, but it can also be chaotic, crowded, and completely overwhelming if you’re not prepared. That’s why we’re sharing the actual tricks that make a huge difference — the ones seasoned festival-goers swear by but most people overlook. If you’re heading to EPCOT for the festival, there’s one move that will instantly level up your whole experience — and a couple of smart add-ons that make the day smoother, tastier, and way more fun.
One of the best parts of visiting Disney World is meeting the characters and getting a chance to interact with them.
Mexico Pavilion
That is especially true when the character is one of the Fab Five, a.k.a. Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, or Pluto. Well, for a while, one of those characters has been missing from his usual meet-and-greet spot in EPCOT. Now, though, we are happy to report that Disney’s #1 duck has returned to the Mexico Pavilion with his poncho and sombrero and is meeting people there again!
Don’t look now, EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival is starting next month!
Food and Wine Festival
Disney has been dropping news regarding the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival including confirmed foods, new merchandise, and unfortunately, even price increases. However, the most exciting news was the lineup for who will be performing at Eat to the Beat!
Is it too early to start talking about the most wonderful time of the year? It’s not our fault, Disney’s already talking about EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, and now we’re excited!
Festival of the Holidays
One thing that we wish more people knew about at Disney is the Voices of Liberty; we LOVE them! They’re an amazing group of singers that you’ll find at the American Pavilion. They sing iconic American songs, absolutely captivating their audience with an outstanding performance. On top of that, the Voices of Liberty also perform during the holiday season — and we have some news for you!
Disney is getting ready for our favorite festival of the year, and they just dropped some BIG news!
Food & Wine Festival
EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival is getting closer, and we’re beyond excited. Disney is already starting to drop news — including a few returning foods that are CONFIRMED for the festival! Let’s take a look at some of the delicious returning items we’ll get to try.
Okay, we have some favorite snacks in Disney World, and if you’ve been hanging with us for a while, you probably know a lot of them.

Some of those favorite snacks include cinnamon rolls because…well, you just can’t beat a cinnamonny ball of dough with icing on top for breakfast…or any other part of the day. We’ve talked a lot about the Colossal Cinnamon Roll in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, as well as the Warm Cinnamon Roll from Gaston’s Tavern in Magic Kingdom. Well, a new cinnamon roll has entered the arena, and it has come out swinging!
We’ll be the first to say it: EPCOT is BIG. Like, “Oh my goodness, how many more countries are there?” big.
EPCOT
One way to shorten your trip around the world is to use Disney’s transportation. No, there’s no secret monorail or Skyliner inside EPCOT that will take you to where you need to go, but throughout the World Showcase Lagoon, there are boats called the FriendShip Boats to help you get across EPCOT. Lately, we’ve noticed something is a little different about them.
