EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival Menus Dropped
We’ve been waiting and waiting, and we finally know all the menus for the 2026 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival. The festival runs from March 4th to June 1st and will feature a brand-new festival booth and tons of new snack and drink options. The topiaries are already starting to be put up, and we can’t wait till the whole festival is decked out in flowers everywhere.
Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes Pop Up in Disney Springs
Black Tap CrazyShake Flight at Disneyland
Black Tap has a restaurant in Downtown Disney in Disneyland, where we love to grab amazing appetizers and shakes, and now their milkshakes are coming to Disney Springs in the old Sprinkles Cupcakes location. The location will open on March 2nd, remain open for three months, and offer its iconic milkshakes for sale.
New Snack Stand in the Norway Pavilion Opened
New snack stand!
A new snack stand officially opened in the Norway Pavilion in EPCOT, and now it’s even easier to grab some of our favorite treats. You can grab ice cream and sodas, but most importantly, School Bread, which was previously only at Kringla Bakeri og Kafe. You can grab this sweet treat along with beers and drinks in front of the pavilion.
Disneyland Changes Park Hopping Rules
Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland
Previously, you couldn’t park hop in Disneyland before 11 AM. Disney later announced that the 11 AM rule is going away, and guests will be able to switch back and forth between Disney California Adventure and Disneyland Park all day long. They mentioned that park reservations are not going away quite yet, but it will be easier to get to the parks you want.

I’m sorry, but these new shakes are garbage (nicest thing I could say). The shakes themselves must not be good if they have to add so much sugar items to them.
