We Love It When Disney World Listens!

By 2 Comments

So, we don’t want to brag or anything, but we’d like to think that Disney World listens to us when we have a valid complaint. For example, y’all know we were pretty loud about it when the hushpuppies disappeared from the menu at Columbia Harbour House in Magic Kingdom. But, lo and behold, those hushpuppies came back.

We also raised a bit of a fuss over the waffles at Sleepy Hollow when they switched from regular waffles to Mickey waffles. Now, we normally love Mickey-shaped food, but the new waffles did NOT stand up. But, hey, Disney changed those back to round waffles. Well, there’s another treat in Disney World that we think Disney listened to us about, and we’re HAPPY they did!

8 Menu Items To Order If You Want To Win a PRIZE at the EPCOT Festival of the Arts

By Leave a Comment

We are SO close to the EPCOT Festival of the Arts that we can almost taste it (LITERALY!). The festival runs from January 16th through February 23rd. Now, this is one of my favorite festivals because there is SO much to see and do, and the entire idea of the festival is focused on the arts, including the culinary arts.

That means you get some really cool food booths that offer a lot of unique eats and drinks. Then there’s also the Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine, the festival’s food crawl, where you eat five of several colorful foods to earn a prize. Well, we now have a confirmed list of all the foods that will be included in this year’s Wonderful Walk of Cuisine.

My favorite EPCOT festival is almost back, and I can’t stop oogling over all the details. The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is where I have to literally set a budget for myself because between the incredible merchandise, artwork, and food, I could easily spend a million dollars (and no, this is not an exaggeration).

Disney just dropped the menus (THE MENUS, PEOPLE!), and apparently, I need to raise my budget this year because this food looks incredible.

A major change is hitting EPCOT in less than two weeks! The 2026 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts will return on January 16th and run through February 23rd, 2026.

We’ve been keeping an eye out for every update we can get about this year’s festival, and while we’re still waiting for the menus to drop, we did notice a change that could impact the number of Food Studios (or booths) that will be available this year. It looks like Refreshment Port, which typically has a couple of festival items, will be closed for refurbishment during the Festival of the Arts.

You Can Meet an ICONIC Disney Imagineer at the EPCOT Festival of the Arts

By Leave a Comment

My favorite EPCOT festival is the Festival of the Arts, and I’m not afraid to say it! From artwork at every corner, some of the prettiest food of any festival, and Broadway performances, I really couldn’t ask for more. Despite not asking, Disney is giving us something else that I know is going to be POPULAR!

There are tons of artists who come and sell their Disney artwork during the festival, and some even sign them! Lucky for us, Disney added Tony Baxter as a featured artist.

By Leave a Comment

As the holiday season gets ready to wrap up in Disney World and we get ready to ring in a brand New Year (seriously, WHERE did 2025 go, y’all?), something HUGE will be ending in EPCOT soon.

2025 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays

The EPCOT Festival of the Holidays started on November 28th and will end on December 30th, which means all the food booths, special festival activities, and the Candlelight Processional will all be going away very soon. That means EPCOT is about to undergo a MASSIVE change.

NEWS: Dining Packages Are Now OPEN for EPCOT’s Disney on Broadway Concert Series

By Leave a Comment

I love catching free performances for every EPCOT festival on the America Gardens Theatre. I’ve seen some of my favorite bands like The Fray and Smash Mouth, along with the Candelight Processional led by one of my favorite actresses, Marlee Matlin. These concerts are included with your park ticket and are something that makes each EPCOT festival so much fun.

If you’ve ever tried to catch one of those concerts yourself, you’d know that they can get BUSY. Even less popular bands can cause lines from the America Pavilion to Germany, and I have waited in plenty of these lines, even through insane rainstorms. This is if you’re waiting in the standby line, hoping there’s enough space to join. There’s a way to guarantee seating for your favorite artists, and it is not available for booking!
