food IS a theme park
If you’ve ever been to EPCOT during festival season, you know how wild it can get.

Here are some of our favorite items to tackle all the food booths and the Florida heat with ease!
The Japan Pavilion at EPCOT has always been a hidden gem, and right now it’s having a serious moment.
Japan Pavilion
If you haven’t been to World Showcase lately, you might not know that the Japan Pavilion has picked up some really fun offerings that Disney Adults are absolutely running with. From collectible machines to personalized keepsakes, there are a couple of trends taking off that we think are worth knowing about before your next trip. Let’s break it down!
There are all KINDS of new things to eat at EPCOT right now!

The International Flower & Garden Festival kicked off recently with an array of food booths and new eats and drinks, but now, a World Showcase restaurant is getting a seasonal spring menu. That’s right, we’re getting some NEW flavors at Takumi-Tei in the Japan Pavilion!
Dining around the world in EPCOT is a thing, and it’s something we ALL love to do. Now, we’ve been to EVERY restaurant in EPCOT, and we have our favorites, but it’s just so cool to be able to try out all these international flavors in one place, right?
Nine Dragons Restaurant
Anyway, we’re heading to China for our latest dining adventure, and there’s one restaurant that we don’t really talk about much, but maybe we should. That’s Nine Dragons Restaurant. Well, we recently visited Nine Dragons to see if it served up Chinese food that’s better than what we would normally order from DoorDash. [Read more…]
If you’re heading to EPCOT and only planning to snack and stroll around World Showcase, we need to talk.
EPCOT’s World Showcase
We love a good festival booth and a scenic lap around the lagoon as much as anyone, but there are a few experiences in World Showcase that deserve way more hype than they get. Some are totally free, some cost a little extra, and all of them are the kind of things that can turn a good park day into a core memory. If you’re skipping these, you’re doing EPCOT wrong.
There’s perhaps no more beloved area of Disney World than EPCOT’s World Showcase, the World’s Fair-like collection of recreations of various countries around the world.

Each pavilion celebrates the culture of the country it represents through attractions, architecture, cuisine, and –– our focus today — souvenirs! These country-specific items allow guests to bring home a part of the culture of the pavilion it’s from.
It’s the first day of the 2026 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, and we’re here for a full day of fun!
EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival
We’re here to eat our way through the Outdoor Kitchens, shop all the new merchandise, and check out the fun entertainment and activities. But we’re not the only ones! Some crowds have gathered on the opening day of the festival.
Is this one of EPCOT’s most immersive restaurants…or just overrated?
Let’s eat!
San Angel Inn Restaurante has long been a popular dining spot inside the Mexico Pavilion, drawing visitors in with its unique atmosphere and prime location along the Gran Fiesta Tour ride route. But while the setting is undeniably memorable, opinions on the food and overall experience tend to vary. We took a closer look at what dining here is really like (from the ambiance to the new menu items) to help you decide if this restaurant deserves a spot on your upcoming EPCOT visit.
It’s that time again, folks, time to visit the delinquents.
Oh no, not again!
I’m sure they’ve been up to lots of nonsense like usual, and I’m here to catch them in the act! So get in your tiny cars and grab your tiny cameras…we’re going to the Tiny Train Town in EPCOT.
EPCOT offers flavors from around the world for you to dine on while visiting. While some are very popular, there might be a few you’re passing right by, and trust us, you’re missing out!
Pizza al Taglio
With so many festival booths and fan-favorite restaurants competing for your attention, it’s easy to default to the same familiar spots. Some locations are tucked away, easy to overlook, or misunderstood at first glance. Others simply don’t get the hype they deserve compared to their neighbors. If you’re ready to shake up your usual food routine, these are the World Showcase restaurants worth a second look.
