food IS a theme park
Hi, DFB Friends! We’re back with another EPCOT update!
Spaceship Earth
There isn’t a lot to report on as far as what’s new, but we did find some new pins and discover a candy sale! So let’s get started with the updates!
There’s just something special about drinking around Disney Springs, especially if you can hit up a Happy Hour deal!
Disney Springs
And one of our fav spots to hit up has been Paradiso 37!
There are a TON of great spots to grab a drink at Disney Springs, from Enzo’s Hideaway to Dockside Margaritas!
Blood Orange Margarita at Dockside Margaritas at Disney Springs
But for craft beer lovers, one spot has been a game changer in 2020: City Works Eatery & Pour House, which just opened back in February!
We spend a lot of time staring at menus at Disney World, mostly because we’re obsessed with food, but also because we like to know when new stuff shows up!
German Beer Flight
We do the same for drinks, too — because drink menus seem to change more than food menus and new drinks are ALWAYS turning up! So when we see something new, we try it out!
Come fall, we’re ALWAYS on the hunt for that perfect cider! Using a Goldilocks-like approach, we like a cider that isn’t too sweet and isn’t too tart…
Hard Cider
If you can relate to these cider sentiments, then you’re gonna want to head to Disney World ASAP because we’ve found the ULTIMATE beer for you!
There seem to be a lot of changes going on at the Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival booths this year!
Islands of the Caribbean
Not only are some booths open some days and closed the next, but we’re seeing a lot of changes on booth menus, both with food and drinks!
Jambo everyone, and welcome to Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Animal Kingdom
Join us on a virtual walk around this park and see what new and exciting food, merchandise, and other finds we spotted during our most recent visit!
One thing we love about the 2020 EPCOT Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival is that we get to try a lot of boozy drinks from around the world!
Appleseed Orchard Beers
So when we noticed a new beer over at the China Booth, we thought, “Hey, let’s try that!”
We’ve been a little obsessed with Fish and Chips recently. Maybe it’s because we saw those AMAZING Minnie Mouse Fish and Chips Ears (and all that other cool Fish and Chips merch). Or maybe it’s just because we’ve had a craving for some fried goodness.
Yorkshire County Fish Shop
So that’s why we got excited when we found out that the Yorkshire County Fish Shop at the U.K. Pavilion at EPCOT would reopen soon! We’ve wanted some fish and chips there since…well…since before Disney World reopened!
After Disney World reopened, many of its bars remained closed and were unable to serve alcohol to guests, due to a statewide ban of on-premise alcohol consumption at bars. This ban affected any bars that received more than 50% of their gross revenue through alcohol sales.
White Wine Flight at Weinkeller
Recently, though, the state of Florida lifted that ban and allowed bars to reopen at 50% capacity. And we’re starting to see bars at Disney World begin to reopen, too, like the Uzima Springs Pool Bar at Animal Kingdom Lodge, and the Thirsty River Bar, and Dawa Bar at Animal Kingdom.
