food IS a theme park
We headed out to EPCOT today to see what’s happening in the park!
EPCOT
We made our way to Biergarten Restaurant in the Germany Pavilion for an early dinner, and we were SHOCKED by how empty it was!
Disney is gearing up for EPCOT to reopen this week.
Sunshine Seasons
With the start of A Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival and a ton of new health measures, we’re expecting some changes when we get back into the park. We’re even already seeing some changes! Today, we noticed the addition of the Mobile Order feature to a favorite EPCOT quick-service spot!
Walt Disney World’s EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios is gearing up to reopen next week on July 15th.
Italy Pavilion in Epcot
EPCOT’s Italy Pavilion will reopen along with the rest of the World Showcase. While most pavilions are opening, not all restaurants and food kiosks will be available to guests. We’ve just confirmed two more Italian dining experiences to add to our list of available restaurants at EPCOT. Plus, the hours that all three Italian restaurants will be open for guests! [Read more…]
We spent the day dining in the reopened Disney World resorts, but that’s not the end of our excitement.
Hi Mickey!
With many restaurants reopened around the Disney World resort hotels, we’ve been patiently waiting to hear which familiar dining spots will be reopening with the parks on July 11th (for Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom) and July 15th (for Epcot and Hollywood Studios).
Well, we’re in luck because Disney just dropped the FULL LIST of restaurants that will reopen with the theme parks next month! Let’s take a look!
Greetings from Epcot!
Spaceship Earth
This park is an eating PARADISE! From Outdoor Kitchens at Epcot’s renowned festivals to fine dining at Epcot’s newest signature restaurant, Takumi-Tei, there is something to please any palette. And amidst all of this gourmet delicious-ness is a (somewhat) hidden character dining gem — Garden Grill!

We recently snagged an early reservation and headed in for a tasty breakfast with Chip, Dale, Mickey, and Pluto. Would it still stack up as one of our favorite character meals? Read on to find out!
We’re over in Epcot with an exciting food update, and it isn’t about the Epcot International Festival of the Arts!
Epcot’s Spaceship Earth
If you’ve been following along, you’ve seen the many changes and construction updates as part of Epcot’s exciting transformation.
Hey there, DFB friends! Today we braved the colder weather to bring you all the latest news coming out of Epcot!
Spaceship Earth
We have a lot to update you on in terms of construction and merchandise, so let’s get started!
Epcot’s 2020 Festival of the Arts is finally here to celebrate the culinary, visual, and performing arts!

And, at this year’s festival, there’s a lot to see, do, and taste (and we are SO excited)! Whether you’re a foodie at heart looking to taste your way around the World Showcase, or you’re a die-hard Broadway fan, there’s something for just about everyone to enjoy! Annnnd, we’re taking you with us LIVE to indulge in all the savory and sweet eats and drinks. [Read more…]
Buongiorno from Italy friends! Today we’re heading back to one of our favorite restaurants in all of Epcot for lunch!
The Italy Pavilion
We’ve loved Via Napoli ever since it opened, thanks to its wood fire ovens, incredible pizza, and all the cheesy carby goodness that comes with an Italian meal. However, with so many delicious spots in Epcot and the surrounding resorts to choose from (looking at you, newly re-opened Beaches and Cream), we wouldn’t be very good at our jobs if we only ate here (though we wouldn’t be mad about it.).
So needless to say, anytime we can swing by Via Napoli, we do our happy pizza dance! Let’s get to it shall we?
There is SO much to look forward to in Disney World in 2020!

From the opening of Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railroad in Hollywood Studios, to the opening of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in Epcot, 2020 is set to be a BIG year at Disney World! One of the most exciting openings coming to the parks is a new space-themed restaurant in Epcot – Space 220! We’ve been eating up every detail coming out of this immersive restaurant, and counting down the days ’til it opens in the new year. And now, it looks like two lucky people will get to be among the first to dine at the new restaurant – all while giving back to a great cause!
