food IS a theme park
Hello, DFB friends! It’s a beautiful day to take a walk around EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth at EPCOT
Here’s everything we discovered since our last walk around the park.
One of the main ideas behind Disney World is that everything is a “show.” That’s why employees in Disney World are called “Cast Members” and why their uniforms are called “costumes.”
Cast Members are the BEST!
Every single costume you see Cast Members wear has been well thought out as to how it can help tell the story of each particular ride, restaurant, shop, or land. Some costumes have stayed with us over the years and have a special place in our hearts, so let’s look at TEN Disney World costumes that we truly love!
EPCOT has been full of fun surprises recently with so many goodies for the Food and Wine Festival!
Japan Pavilion
While we’ve been back in the Japan Pavilion to have Frothy Ramen and pick up some fabulous silk face masks (and even a few very strange skincare masks), you might be subbing out your regular ole’ Halloween candy for these new goodies in EPCOT!
We’ve made it no secret about what many of our favorite Disney World snacks are, and there’s one item that is always close to the top of our list. That snack is the School Bread from the Norway pavilion at EPCOT’s Kringla Bakeri Og.

Unfortunately, Kringla Bakeri Og is still closed, even though the parks are open for business. And we’ve really been missing that school bread, let us tell you… But now, it’s back, baby!!!
What strange and unusual summer it has been!
Spaceship Earth
First off, Disney World shut its gates mere WEEKS after the 2020 Flower and Garden Festival began, making it the shortest EPCOT festival of all time. Then when the parks reopened, EPCOT’s longest festival in history began — the 2020 Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival!
It looks like another one of our favorite Disney World restaurants is fixin’ to reopen SOON!
Teppan Edo
Despite remaining closed after EPCOT’s reopening last month, Teppan Edo began tinkering with its menu a few weeks ago. This gave us the impression the table service hibachi grill restaurant located in the Japan pavilion might be getting ready to reopen!
When we’re not munching on something (which is rare) we’ve been getting the scoop on all of Disney World’s newest snack-themed merchandise!
Ice Cream Bar Fan!
From Mickey Ice Cream Bar fans to giant Macaron Minnie ears, there has been no shortage of souvenirs for food lovers such as ourselves to choose from!
We can’t believe EPCOT has been open for almost an entire month now!
Food and Wine Festival
Time really flies when you’re out and about enjoying the Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival.
This year the festival features over 2o signature global marketplaces scattered throughout the World Showcase this year!
Something very strange is happening at EPCOT right now!
Italian Margarita
Some of our favorite items that weren’t on the menu when Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival first began on July 15th have strangely returned! For instance, back by popular demand, you can now get the Italian Margarita at Italy’s booth and now another fan-favorite item has just popped up in Japan!
The Japan Pavillion’s Mitsukoshi Department Store has been know to carry some pretty unusual merchandise!
Will you be a cat? Will you be a dog?
We were chuckling over this line of skincare masks last week that will transform your face into a dog, a cat, or even a BABY!
