food IS a theme park
The list of things we love about EPCOT is nearly endless.
Spaceship Earth
We say nearly because, despite what it may seem, there’s trouble afoot in this park. Yep, you read that correctly — a particular pavilion happens to be riddled with debauchery, crime, and general raucousness, and we’re back for another investigation. It’s time for CSI: Disney World.
Disney World is a magical place full of dreams, hope, thrills, nostalgia, and sometimes — CRIME.
Germany Pavilion in EPCOT
The little German villagers in EPCOT’s tiny train town know that all too well. We’ve seen tragedy strike time and time again in this seemingly quaint village — you might remember the recent biochemical attack or the rowdy crime sprees of updates past. Now, we’re crushed to report that the unthinkable has happened in this town once again.
The 2023 International Festival of the Holidays is here at EPCOT!
2023 Festival of the Holidays
Whether you’re snacking on some cheese fondue or sipping on a Jolly Rancher drink, there are lots of ways to enjoy this festival. Some of EPCOT’s own residents are even celebrating the occasion in their own special way!
There is NOTHING more magical than Disney World during the holidays.
STUNNING!
From the beautiful holiday decorations to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights to all the holiday snacks, Disney World goes ALL out for the festive season. Speaking of snacks, we’re headed to EPCOT‘s Germany Pavilion to try out some new holiday-flavored caramels. Yep, we’re going back to Karamell-Küche (like we need an excuse to go there).
Everyone remain calm — this might be the most important Disney World update you read about anytime soon.

No, we don’t have any official updates on when the Hatbox Ghost will be coming to Magic Kingdom, and we still don’t officially have an opening date for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, either. But, what we do have to share is something, much, much more exciting — and devastating.
Get your sea legs under you — we plan to set sail in just over a year!

The Disney Treasure is the newest addition to the Disney Cruise Line and is scheduled to set sail in December 2024. The voyage is described as a cruise “where the spirit of adventure meets the daring tales of classic Disney films and Disney park attractions,” per Disney.
Sailing for seven-night cruises, the ship will travel through eastern and western parts of the Caribbean while providing guests with special Disney perks, such as character dining, special attractions, and Disney entertainment. Early this month Disney provided us with an October 2023 update that gets us even more excited for the Disney Treasure launch!
Look, we go to Disney World every day — and even though there’s always something to see and do, we can’t help but let our minds wander.
Spaceship Earth
What are we going to have for dinner tonight? What is the meaning of life? What are the little German villagers up to in EPCOT’s tiny train town up to today? It’s questions like these that keep us up at night, but luckily, we got the answer to at least one of them on a recent trip to the parks… and it doesn’t look good.
Okay, we are about to take you to the SKETCHIEST neighborhood in all of Disney World.
Germany’s Train Village
Seriously, this is a place that is notoriously strange, where its denizens get up to who-knows-what kind of shenanigans. No, this isn’t the Wild West of Frontierland in Magic Kingdom. Nope, we’re taking you to the shadiest little town in Disney World, which just happens to be in EPCOT. Yep, we’re going back to Train Town.
The 2023 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival has officially kicked off, and we tried so many exciting new foods.

But, did you know there is more to the festival than Outdoor Kitchens? The festival is full of experiences like Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak scavenger hunt and the Eat to the Beat Concert Series. Some of the best experiences for the festival might go unnoticed if you don’t know where to look!
The 2023 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is here and we are about to be reunited with one of our FAVORITE festival snacks…but will it hold up this year, or be a big disappointment?
Germany Booth 2023
There’s a lot to check out at the Food & Wine Festival this year — from the fun festival merchandise to the Eat to the Beat concert series. But the real star of the Festival (as its name indicates) is the food and the wine. We’re visiting EVERY SINGLE food booth to make sure we can find the BEST things for you to try. So now, let’s head to the Germany booth to see what you should (or should NOT) try.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
