food IS a theme park
Welcome, world travelers, to another update from EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth
We’re checking out all of the latest findings across EPCOT’s construction, food, and merchandise updates! Let’s dive right in!
EPCOT is in the midst of a MAJOR transformation!
Harmonious Concept Art ©Disney
New attractions like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind are in progress. Plus much of the park is getting a new look. We’re especially excited to see Harmonious, the new nighttime spectacular — but we can’t say we’re happy about how those massive barges look in the water… .
We’ve been trying LOTS of new treats in Disney’s Animal Kingdom today, but we haven’t forgotten about EPCOT!
China Pavilion
We’re hopping over to the China Pavilion to try a brand-new drink at Joy of Tea! This kiosk is home to one of our favorite quick eats in the park, the Salt and Pepper Popcorn Chicken, so we’re excited to try their newest offering.
When it comes to souvenirs from Disney World, there are so many different choices.
Orange Bird Ears
From ears, to mugs, to plushes, and so much more — there are lots of options to remind you of your Disney World trip even after you’ve returned home. And to make those memories even more personal, you can have certain souvenirs personalized. Some of these options include Christmas ornaments and mugs, but there’s another unique souvenir that you can customize!
We are ALL about Disney food — seriously, it’s in our name!
Joy of Tea… but what’s that beside the register?
And we love seeing merchandise repping some of our favorite snacks. We’ve seen Vera Bradley bags covered in Disney snacks, Donut Minnie Ears, Popcorn Bucket Keychains, and more!
We’re trying to find the BEST spot in Disney World and we’ve turned to YOU to help us out!
Cinderella Castle
What makes this bracket different than the rest is that these spots were decided by YOU! That’s right — we compiled submissions from our readers so that we could find the ULTIMATE spot. By the end of this, you might only find us there! A few days ago, we put 32 different spots in Disney World face to face on our Instagram Stories and now we’ve got it narrowed down to more! Here are your round 2 winners!
If you’ve been keeping up with DFB for a while you’ll likely know that Via Napoli is one of our favorite spots around World Showcase in EPCOT. It was love at first bite (of pizza) and we can’t fuhgeddaboudit! Yes, we love traveling around and trying all the exotic (and often delicious) foods, but we keep coming back to our favorite pizza spot in the Italy Pavilion time and time again.
Via Napoli in the Italy Pavilion
We would probably eat here more often than we should if we could. But we wouldn’t be doing our jobs of sharing EVERYTHING you can eat in Disney World, now would we? 😉 Every once in a while though, the siren song of those pizzas comes a’callin. Who are we to not answer that call? Let’s eat some ‘za!
We’ve been having a blast playing Disney-themed brackets over the past year, but we’ve got an EXTRA special one going on right now.
Cinderella Castle
What makes it so special? You made this Disney smackdown! It’s the DFB Best Spot in Disney World Bracket and it’s built from submissions from YOU. That’s right, every item on this bracket is a spot that means a LOT to one of our readers, and we’re so excited to find out which one is the best of the best (even if they’re all AMAZING!).
We’re takin’ a trip wayyy back in time today.
Japan Pavilion
You may know EPCOT for its amazing food and exciting upcoming attractions — but there’s a lot to learn from the park, too! Over in World Showcase, you can travel around the globe and visit 11 countries. In each, you’ll explore unique merch and learn a ton! So today, we’re hopping over to the Japan Pavilion for a mini history lesson (but don’t worry, it’s actually REALLY interesting!).
One thing we love about EPCOT is World Showcase, where we can visit so many countries around the world without ever leaving Disney World!
EPCOT World Showcase
Okay, so we also love eating all those internationally-inspired snacks and buying merchandise exclusive to specific countries! Oh, and the festivals!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
