food IS a theme park
We have seen a bunch of Fourth of July cupcakes this week…like the Apple Pie Cupcake from Restaurantosaurus and the Cherry Pie Cupcake from Roaring Fork!
Epcot Fourth of July Cupcake
And now another Fourth of July cupcake has hit the scene and this time it’s at Epcot.
Joffrey’s
is a good bet for coffee in the Disney Parks, but more often than not, we’re stopping by these coffee stands to see what they’ve got for snacks. And the Joffrey’s stand near Pin Traders in Epcot’s World Showcase is bringing it today!
Peanut Butter Brownie
Yes, by it we mean an ooey-gooey Peanut Butter Brownie. [Read more…]
We’ve been keeping up with the construction progress of Takumi-Tei, that BRAND NEW signature dining experience coming to Epcot’s Japan Pavilion this summer!

And today we spotted some extra signage pop up in front of the building that we wanted to share!
Epcot’s nighttime spectacular IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth will take to the sky for the last time on September 30th.
IllumiNations
And as we know, to commemorate the nighttime spectacular we all grew up with, Disney has started selling Farewell IllumiNations merchandise! We’ve already shared many of the t-shirts, MagicBands, and pins with you guys. But, today we’re going to share something even MORE spectacular — the Farewell IllumiNations Light-Up EARS!!!
Annnnnnd we’re back! Today, we have already shared that Epcot’s Character Spot is set to close temporarily on September 8th. (Don’t worry — you’ll still be able to see your friends in new Epcot spots!)
Welcome to Epcot!
We have also shared Disney’s plans for the closure of Electric Umbrella this winter. But now we are going to dive into even MORE closure and relocation announcements.
As many of you may know, Epcot is undergoing a pretty HUGE transformation, and as part of that transformation, a lot of familiar locations will be getting an overhaul. And beginning September 8, the popular Character Spot will close temporarily.
Epcot Entrance
Character Spot is actually home to two character meet-and-greet areas, which are located across from one another in Epcot. [Read more…]
Another one bites the dust… Disney continues to move forward on the transformation of Epcot.

Today, Disney has released information about the temporary closure of Character Spot. And now Disney has stated that Electric Umbrella is going to be shutting its doors as well.
Happy early birthday, America! All across the country, it’s time for some delicious BBQ, electrifying fireworks, and unfortunate tan lines! And at Walt Disney World, it’s time for an abundance of red, white, and blue treats, too!
Epcot Eats
We shared the Fourth of July Foodie Guide with you this morning, and as part of that announcement, Disney revealed a new, day-of , can’t-be-booked-in-advance dining package you’ll want to know about it you’re going to be at Epcot on July 4. [Read more…]
It’s time to mix things that shouldn’t be mixed: electricity and umbrellas. We’re back at Epcot’s Electric Umbrella to share the new Brisket Sandwich, a kids’ flatbread option, and a cup of beer cheese. (J/K, we don’t share beer cheese.)
Electric Umbrella
Electric Umbrella is a classic Disney Parks quick service restaurant in Epcot’s Future World. It gets a bad rap, but I honestly am usually pretty happy with my meals there. [Read more…]
is one of Epcot’s most beloved holiday offerings, with celebrity narrators tapped to share the Christmas story before a chorus of singers. It’s truly spectacular, and today, Disney announced two more confirmed narrators — and they’re perennial favorites!
