food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at EPCOT!
EPCOT
And, we’ve got plenty of construction, food, and merchandise updates, so let’s dive right on in!
We’re making our way around Disney’s Animal Kingdom today, and having a fun adventure (even if it’s raining)!
Tree of Life
While we made our way to Expedition Everest to say hello to our old pal Disco Yeti, we found a bit of a pleasant surprise in the park. Although Thirsty River Bar and Trek Snacks has been half closed since the parks reopened (Trek Snacks has been open, but Thirsy River Bar has been closed), it had a random re-opening today for guests!
Everyone has their favorite Disney snack! Whether you’re a corn dog nuggets fan, or you MUST get a Dole Whip every single day of your trip, there are SO many delicious options to choose from.
Pineapple Dole Whip
But, if you haven’t been to Disney World since it reopened, you may be wondering…“Can I still get some of my favorite snacks?” Some of our favorite treats have disappeared or are unavailable at the moment, but these 10 snacks are still available and ready for you to enjoy!
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!
Due to the global health crisis, so many of us just can’t make it to Walt Disney World this year. And that makes us sad because we’d love to chow down on some of our favorite treats, including Cheshire Cat Tails, Mickey macarons, and Mickey caramel apples (YUM).
Caramel Pecan Milk Chocolate Macaron
We have such a massive craving for so many of these goodies, but if we can’t get to Walt Disney World, that often means we just have to go without. ? Whatever will we do?
Although we can’t pass up a good sit-down meal in Disney World, a quick snack in the morning has been the way to go in the parks (especially with Mobile Order becoming the prime ordering option right now).
Cosmic Ray’s
Although we’ve seen plenty of Dole Whips make their return to the parks, like the I Lava You Float and Kakamora Float, Disney has brought back yet another fan-favorite snack to Magic Kingdom.
Our Disney World diet has consisted of Dole Whips, Dole Whips, and more Dole Whips ever since the parks reopened.
Raspberry Dole Whip
Although we’ve been rotating the Raspberry Dole Whip, Peter Pan Float, and Kakamora Float with our other Dole Whip picks, Magic Kingdom has brought back yet another float that you’re going to want to try ASAP!
If you’re ever craving something sweet in Downtown Disney or Disney Springs, Sprinkles is one of the BEST spots for a little fun and a LOT of cupcakes.
Sprinkles Entrance
Sprinkles has recently rolled out the Peanut Butter Banana Fluff Cupcake and reopened the inside of its bakery’s location in Disney World. Now, there’s a returning treat coming back TOMORROW!
Although we’ve been grabbing as many Dole Whips and Mickey Pretzels (with plastic cheese, of course) as possible since we’ve been back to Disney World, there have been quite a few menu changes in the parks during the re-openings.
Magic Kingdom
While multiple menu items are available for guests to snack on again, we were SO sad to see treats like the Kakamora Float, I Lava You Float, and Peter Pan Float disappear from Disney World for the time being. And we’ve missed them tremendously!
Sprinkles recently reopened in Disney World with new health and safety features.

Whether you’re a fan of double chocolate or classic vanilla, a fan-favorite flavor will be making its way back into the bakery TODAY!
